I think competitive public mourning is a thing unfortunately. Look at how ppl lost their shit when Diana died. Then when Bowie died too. I liked his music too but its not like he was my mate. Plus you know, his music is still here.
George Michael case in point - he was an average at best vocalist in the fucking pop band Wham for fucks sake - people, get a grip......

There are musicians I would be upset about dying. People who have written songs which sum up important times in my life... I might not know them personally but I feel a connection through those songs. OK, it's not logical and yes the songs remain, but I feel emotionally connected to some of these people and it will genuinely effect me when they die.
Yep, my wife is always pissed off when I don't show appropriate sadness at the passing of some nibs or other.
