DemonStar 57 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Absolutely shocked and devastated to learn this. He was a major reason for me loving film music as well. Can never forget listening to the Titanic soundtrack for the first time and being so moved by it... and then Avatar, Braveheart, Land Before Time and countless more. It's a terrible tragedy and left a horrible void that nothing can ever fill. My humble condolences and prayers for him and his family. He'll live forever in our hearts and is immortalized with his wonderful music. karelm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_K 6 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'm going to break cover and actually post.For a kid growing up in the '80's, Horner's scores peppered so many good experiences. The gift he's been given and shared with us is timeless. To say he'll be missed goes without saying- I don't even care about AVATAR 2 anymore. Like previously posted, losing Jerry was sad- this is an outright shock.Mr. K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBard 71 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I was wishing this morning when I woke up that Horner was in seclusion working on his latest score and free from any distractions (including the news and phone calls).And someone had stolen his plane to take it for a joyride.And I dare anyone here to top that kind of wishful thinking, because THAT'S how I mourn the untimely and unlikely death of anybody, especially influential composers.
