For me it will definitely be Mick Jagger.
I've been deeply saddened by the deaths of movie stars such as Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart and the like, but mainly because I grew up watching their movies. But, these were my parents (and grandparents) contemporaries and that they would pass sooner than later was a given.
However, Mick (even though a few years older) is MY contemporary. His music has been a constant throughout my entire life. When he goes, I think I may be in a deep funk for a long while.
I was certainly floored by the sudden death of John Lennon, but that was not of natural causes. It didn't mean that age and infirmity had struck.
I know this all has to do with coming to grips with one's own mortality. 
I want to say Madonna(obviously) but I have read that all her religious studies have prepared her for the 'big event' and I know she will be ok with it.But I reckon itl still be pretty traumatic for fans.
I cant say any famous persons death has traumatised me, greatly upset me yes, but its more of a shock really.Princess Diana dying, so young, and the way she did was horrid.I suppose we think famous people can buy themselves out of death.
Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria.
I guess 'famous' is relative.
I don't have any famous relatives
Mick Jagger, Jon Anderson, Paul McCartney.
When Ted Nugent goes, I really gonna be down in the dumps.
James Watson, co-discovered DNA structure.
I read recently that Crick's wife recently died.
pete townshend & roger daltrey...
exactly.
entwistle's death in '02 knocked me off-kilter for a few weeks...
Three-time superbowl coach Bill Walsh.
I was devastated when Elvis died. I have a feeling I'll be similarly devastated when Paul Newman bites the dust.
