Beyond a general human sense that you're sad a life has been lost, do you think we mere mortals are entitled to share the grief when a celebrity we don't actually know, but "love", passes?

I've been really into Queen lately (nothing to do with the recent re-release, there's a bit of synchronicity!), and while Queen and Freddie have basically been constants in my life (both parents love them) I don't feel his loss because I "wasn't there" when it happened, but I was for David Bowie ... :cry: Tiffany in CBB was basically my actual reaction

But as I never met Bowie or even saw him in concert, shouldn't it be the same as any other death of a stranger?
