We pay our respects to all of the prolific musicians, actors, comedians and cultural icons who died in 2022. In November we lost legendary Fleetwood Mac musician Christine McVie, Die Hard and Top Gun actor Clarence Gilyard, Jr, Grammy Award-winning ’80s singer Irene Cara, Supernatural actor Nicki Aycox , Power Rangers star Jason David Frank, Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy, pioneering comedian Gallagher, ’90s pop star Aaron Carter and Migos rapper Takeoff.
Last month, beloved comedian Leslie Jordan, Harry Potter alumnus Robbie Coltrane and Broadway icon Angela Lansbury all died. The death of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, at the age of 96 shook the world in early September, followed by the shocking deaths of PnB Rock, Louise Fletcher and Jesse Powell.
This year we also have Hollywood icon Sidney Poitier, Miss USA 2019 winner Cheslie Kryst, Bat Out of Hell rocker Meat Loaf, funk pioneer Betty Davis and Full House comedian Bob Saget lost. They have all had a lasting impact on their respective industries. Ahead, we pay homage to all the celebrities we’ve lost in 2022.
