Default Why do you feel the need to give condolences to dead famous people?
Is it for the memories they have gave you?

Sure.

People get attached to celebrities and public figures.

I was devastated when Terry Pratchett died tbh, and my reaction when "David Died" wasn't that far off Tiffany's

I've only really missed Rik Mayell.

I'm dreading the day Suggs dies.

Respect for who they were and what they did.

When someone famous has contributed significantly to your consciousness throughout your life it usually strikes a chord.

I didn't mourn Saville, i didn't mourn the passing of serial killers either.

I'm not even mourning Bobby Charlton, i'm respecting a life well lived

It's out of respect mainly.

And in Kentaro Miura, Chester Bennington, Michael Jackson, Kurt Cobain and Chris Cornell's cases, being legends in their respective fields and genres.
