People get silly over famous actors, singers and so on, especially if
they were of a certain age when that artist's work was popular. Look at
how millions of people reacted when John Lennon died, or Elvis, or Jerry
Garcia, or Pavarotti (whose funeral was a national event in Italy). If
you grew up listening to a performer's music you're going to have an
emotional attachment to some degree, it's human nature.

Guess that makes me inhuman. I can think of several singers that I
enjoyed listening to at different times in my life, but I never gave more
than shrug and a "too bad, I'll miss the music" when they died. I've
never understood the fascination with celebrities.
