Here’s a look back at the lives and careers of the great figures from the realms of music, cinema, television, fashion, sports, royalty, and politics who regrettably passed away in the last 12 months as another year comes to a close.

Recent celebrity deaths 2022: January

In January, we realized that we would no longer be able to see many of the faces we love. The loss of these people is very sad for us.

Sidney Poiter

Sidney Poiter, an actor, and diplomat became the first black man to win the Oscar for best actor in 1964 for his work in the film Lilies of the Field.

The Hollywood icon, who was known for bringing attention to black people’s problems at the time, had numerous appearances in movies and TV shows over the course of his career, including In The Heat Of The Night, To Sir, With Love, and Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner. He has served as the director of a number of films, including Ghost Dad, Hanky Panky, and Stir Crazy.

According to his death certificate, Poitier, who also had prostate cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, passed away at the age of 94 principally from heart failure.

Meat Loaf

Meat Loaf, whose real name is Michael Lee Aday, sold more than 100 million albums globally throughout the course of his career.

Dead Ringer For Love, Paradise By The Dashboard Lights, Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad, and I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That) were among Meat Loaf’s hits, but it was his 1977 debut album’s lead single, “Bat Out Of Hell,” that cemented his status as a household figure.

The celebrity passed away at the age of 74 after publicly discussing recent problems with health conditions like asthma.

The legendary comedian Barry Cryer began his career as a variety act before moving on to collaborate with and write for some of the biggest names in the UK comedy scene.

Even though Jamal Edwards‘ name wasn’t well-known outside of the music industry prior to his passing, the outpouring of support for the businessman showed how important he was to the careers of some of the biggest singers in the UK.

After using recreational drugs, he passed away at home at the age of 31, and his mother, singer, and Loose Women panelist Brenda Edwards went on to warn others about the dangers of doing the same.
