I have to say the outpouring of grief when a major talent passes away leaves me slightly nauseous, the same thing happened to an even greater degree when Bowie died. There's no harm in expressing sadness, but I cannot see how they can be 'missed' unless you knew them personally.
The vast majority of people know these stars only from the body of work they leave behind, and they do not take that away with them. My appreciation of Bowie and Aretha Franklyn come from their music, and that remains accessible whether they are here or not.
