Depends who it is.
I was very shocked about Bowie and Prince and George Michael - but not really that upset at all, beyond general sadness about how young they all were and the loss of such huge talents.
I was shocked and upset about Victoria Wood because it was unexpected and I loved her.
I was very upset but not particularly shocked about Leonard Cohen because I love him but had been thinking for a while that it might be imminent.
I was devastated by Diana back in 1997 because it was such a shock and tragedy and I loved her. She had such charisma and she was so young. But I didn't go into London and do it publicly. Just sat in front of the telly all day and cried a lot
