Nessun Dorma (actually most of Turandot) makes me weepy whether or not the tenor singing is alive or dead. That said, it's sad, he had amazing lungs, and will be missed by many.
*wanders off to listen to La Boheme and get weepy*

Geeez
I just heard the news today myself (I'm not a big news reader). Personally, I'm not a big opera fan, but Luciano was one hell of a tenor. Best there was in this side of the galaxy anyway. He was not famous because he bought and cheated himself to the top like many of the celebrities around, but because he fought hard to archive his goal. He was a modern day hero, and culture was his battleground. His voice will never be forgotten, ever. Rest in peace, big man

I had no idea how he earned his own opportunities... That's very remarkable for an Opera singer, my hat is off.

But the difference is, that people who are famous usually do get famous for one reason or another. Personally I couldn't care less when Princess Diana died, I liked Mercury's singing, but didn't particularly care if he lived or died, I couldn't have been more indiferrent when Cubain shot himself and it made no difference to me when Aerton Senna died, even though I like watching F1 Grand Prix racing. But with Luciano... I don't know. I felt a lost. His singing moved me in a way. When I heard him sing it always made an impression on me, even if only on a recording (not to mention how the live concert he gave in Ljubljana felt). So I acctually felt a sort of a loss when I realized, I will not be able to hear him sing again. I guess if I'd be there for Lennon's death I might have felt the same. There are just some poeple who leave a mark. And I guess that's what makes a difference. It might seem silly, but I have many relatives I only met maybe once or twice in my life and would probably be more indiferent to their deaths then to Pavarotti's, simply because I really admired his singing talent, so he wasn't an anonymous somebody, but a person I could respect. |

tbh, I dislike the media exposure when celebrities die.
Some of us prefer saving being sad for when somebody we actually knew and on whose character we can justifiably comment die. |
