Not really a big fan of her music, but she was an icon somehow and she died too young...

On a brighter note she'll flog a few more albums now, maybe a new single as well

I was more concerned when my local take-away changed the font size in their menu!

I'm sure this is the first place her nearest and dearest will look for messages of condolence. I guess I'm the only one who finds people's need to post such messages on a public forum quite nauseating.

I'm fine with that, but if you don't like it, don't read it.
Thread title can't be misunderstood, I think...

It's sad when anyone loses their lives. RIP David Boyd of Havenwood Retirement Village, Ballygunner, Waterford, Ireland who sadly died on the 10th Feb. I expect you all to pay your respects to this gentleman as you have to Whitney!!

Apple tripled the price of some of her tracks on iTunes within hours of her death so as to cash in:

Rumour has it that Apple have now backed down and reduced the prices to original value.

Yes it has. According to The Guardian it was Sony who initially hiked the wholesale price and Apple merely folowed suit.
