I think the deaths of performers are really tragic when they die performing. These performers lived their lives in the public gaze, but they died very publicly too.. Some of them died on stage and some while being filmed or on a film set, all of them died suddenly. Many of them will be sadly missed by their families, friends and fans.
Here is a list of 10 famous people who died doing what they loved best, performing.
