I'm not talking about the ones who shed a tear/think about said celebrity all day on the day it's announced and then move on with their lives. But the ones who head out to lay tributes/who camp outside the home/travel for thousands of miles to attend the funeral/who tell people they are grieving.
This morning there was a michael jackson fan on GMTV talking about the o2 tickets, and he was saying that he couldn't yet figure out what to do about whether to have a refund or a souvenir ticket because he was so overcome with grief that at the moment he is unable to think straight.
And we get this every time someone in the public eye dies.
And it really isn't normal, and I can't help thinking that these people who need to grieve like this for someone they've never met must clearly have some serious issues in their own lives that they are unable to address, and that the public grieving somehow gives them an outlet.
