Bumping because I thought someone might be interested in these actual last words that I found recently:

Quote:

+ Blues singer Bessie Smith died saying, “I’m going, but I’m going in the name of the Lord.”
+ Frank Sinatra died after saying, “I’m losing it.”
+ Composer Gustav Mahler died in bed, conducting an imaginary orchestra. His last word was, “Mozart!”
+ Drummer Buddy Rich died after surgery in 1987. As he was being prepped with medicine for surgery, a nurse asked him, “Is there anything you can’t take?” Rich replied, “Yeah, country music.”
+ Johnny Ace, an R&B singer, died in 1954 while playing with a pistol during a break in his concert set. His last words were, “I’ll show you that it won’t shoot.”
+ Blues guitarist Leadbelly said, “Doctor, if I put this here guitar down now, I ain’t never gonna wake up.” And he was right.
+ Bo Diddley died giving a thumbs-up as he listened to the song “Walk Around Heaven.” His last word was “Wow.”

Can't say the song Bo Diddley was listening to wasn't apt:-

Not a musician, but on the same webpage was this rather chilling entry:-

Quote:

+ Surgeon Joseph Henry Green was checking his own pulse as he lay dying. His last word: “Stopped.”

If I hold still and my lightsaber up, he can't chop my head off and make my body disappear. I will become more powerful than he can imagine.

Tiny Tim, onstage at the end of what would turn out to be his final performance, when asked "are you all right?" replied "no, I'm not" before collapsing on the stage.

^ Wow. I didn't know that Tiny Tim collapsed on stage.

In the UK a famous magician collapsed and died on stage from a heart attack. The terrible thing was that because it fitted in with his clownish style of comedy, the audience thought it was a joke and started laughing. I think you can find the clip on YouTube, but I don't have the heart to post it. Better to remember Tommy Cooper in happier moments:-

Yeah, but if there was one way Tommy wanted to check out, it would have been "just like that"!!! Seriously.

Tommy was amazing. The only magician to make a living out of being totally crap at magic, but so funny with it. Missed.

Those are hilarious but I couldn't understand a word of what he was saying.

That was part of his charm. The persona he played was borderline retarded, or let's say childlike anyway.
