There's a lot coming out now about his 'quiet' achievements which are amazing, respect, everybody that was close to him can't speak highly enough, the autopsy is in a few hours and I couldn't give a rats how he passed away, absolute legend.
Yes he was one of the greats but it doesn't mean that everyone has to go all silly and overblow his achievments, some are just attention whoring.
That sellout concert was the Aotea Centre NZ (2000 seating). Hardly Wembley or Madison Sq Gardens eh.
Like I said. He's of the past and his songs we like can still be enjoyed the same as when he was alive.
Every time a celeb dies everyone goes ape shit to try and out do one another in their knowledge of said star or posting YouTube links of songs everyone knows.
Some kid dies in a hotel and we get a few comments. This thread will go on and on and get more cringworthy.
