April began with the death of two prominent ones: On the one hand, we had to say goodbye to Hollywood icon Val Kilmer and Singer-Songwriter Johnny Tillotson. And unfortunately, “Gang of Four” bass player Dave Allen, Blondie drummer Clem Burke and the actors Jay North and Mel Novak left us far too early during the month.
Here and above in the gallery an incomplete overview of the celebrities from art, culture, sport and politics, who died in April 2025.
