Celebrities who died in 2022
We pay our respects to all of the prolific musicians, actors, comedians and cultural icons who died in 2022. This month we lost General Hospital star Sonya Eddy; Broadway star and choreographer Stephanie Bissonnette; famed DJ and dancer Stephen “tWitch” Boss; two-time Emmy winner Kirstie Alley; Sesame Street legend Bob McGrath; Cher’s mother, Georgia Holt; and “The Sopranos” actor Frank Vallelonga Jr. The previous month, Fleetwood Mac musician Christine McVie; Grammy Award-winning ’80s singer Irene Cara; ’90s pop star Aaron Carter; and Migos rapper Takeoff have all died.
Popular comedian Leslie Jordan, Harry Potter alumnus Robbie Coltrane and Broadway icon Angela Lansbury also died in October. 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.
