I think that's the power of art. Whether it be music or writing or acting, the job is to reach out and touch peoples emotions, make them think and feel. That people express sadness at the loss of artists they admire who have enriched their lives speaks for the quality of the work. People like Bowie, Prince, Leonard Cohen, George and Carrie touched people all over the world with their work.
I don't know about anyone else, but I know all of the above enriched my life. Bowie Prince and George were the soundtrack of my life along with Nick Cave (please don't die Nick) i loved their work, i loved seeing them perform, i love the memories i have of being with friends going to their gigs singing along to their songs at various points throughout my life. They are precious.
