Rick James, Johnny Cash, Barry White, Ray Charles were all larger than life artists to me and it's crazy when they just....die. They're here one day, gone the next. I read recently David Bowie had to get heart surgery and it just shocks you. Bowie is an artist I love, you never think he's going to slow down. Still releasing albums and touring, but I just thought that could be my Dad. I saw on another forum a picture of Rick James and his son and it's nuts. Here's these people who's music we love, memorize lyrics to, pay money for, and they're just like us. They get sick, have children, and.....die.

I'm feelin u on this one. I get kind of a similar effect when i see people that are like larger than life artists to me live and stand right in front of them. When I saw Mobb Deep recently, Prodigy got off stage and ended up right in front of me and somehow I was like 'damn' because those people you see on TV or you've got on some disc you've paid for usually seem to like, live in a different world and in that moment u realize that as u said they're just like the rest of us. And when u see people dying, getting sick, having accidents etc. it makes u realize that same thing in a way too...kinda weird

I've been on the other side of the fence for this one.  My family was close to a 'rock star's family (I'm not gonna name him), he died about 5 years ago, it was so wierd seeing all his fans crying, and news cameras everywhere.  It makes it a lot harder to deal with.

hector:
yeah its crazy.  especially if you really love the music of that artist.  When 2Pac died, that was the craziest shit for me, because at the time I was so into his music and he had such an influence on me.  And then you just think how you are never gonna hear any new music from that artist ever again.  Right now for me its Tray Deee.  He isn't dead, but he is locked up.  He is my favorite artist.  I've anticipated a solo album from him for damn near 10 years, and now I'm facing reality that I will probably never ever hear it.  Its funny how someone you have never even met in your life can affect you like a good friend.

Yeah, I agree.  I've met a ton of famous people and it's just kind of shellshock whenever you realize they're literally HUMAN BEINGS just like we are.  Same problems, same ideas, same everything, it's hard to put into words but I know exactly what you're talking about.
