Heck, I could not stand this talent-free, whimpering peacock. As far as I'm concerned - no, he won't be missed at all. He was an offense to any musical artist with talent and skill. A narcissistic, hopelessly overestimated dilletante. Think I never heard a single note by him that his voice was able to hold.
Not missed at all, I'm cold-hearted enough to say.

I gotta say that is pretty cold even for you.
He may have been flamboyant and strange but was a talented singer, song writer, performer and
killer guitar player. He sold over 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time, won seven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe, and an Academy Award and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, the first year of his eligibility. Not bad for a 'over estimated wannabe'.
Not everybody has the same taste in music. Most people have some compassion and respect for the dead.
