I didn't know they were dead!
Just listening to BBC London play Robert Palmer's 'Johnny & Mary', and was surprised to hear them dedicate it to the "late, great"...I didn't know he was dead!
Looking on Wikipedia I was very surprised to see he died in 2003, and I have no recollection of hearing that. Surprising too as I worked as a music/cd buyer at the time.
So, has anyone else been surprised to find out someone had been dead for years?“If my sons did not want wars, there would be none.” - Gutle Schnaper Rothschild

Not quite the same thing, but I was convinced that Ronnie Barker died in 1989. I was surprised and delighted when he turned up for the Two Ronnie celebration series they did, then sad all over again when he died in 2005.
Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!
