The likelihood is he won't be remembered by many. How many popular music stars from 50 years ago can any of us name? Most can only remember the really successful ones.
Hmmm...what about Nick Drake, Tim Buckley and Ian Curtis?
Were they really successful?
If the music is really good, people keep listening to their work.

I was gonna say I hope *I* am NOT around in 50 years time!
Anyroad, Moz will be an even greater legend as time goes on. He will have more fans in death than he had in life. He will be to Britain what Elvis was to the US.
Woo! As I live and breathe, the cuteness has killed me !!
those kids are adorable!! did you see the boy singing LOTFIP??

In 50 years I really hope he's still alive ... I'm actually terrified of him dying.
Oh I'm positively terrified of him dying as well. =| I dread the day. I know it has to happen, but I dread it all the same. D:
I know I'll be unconsolable for days when it happens.
You are not making much sense. You ask how many popular music stars from 50 years ago we can name and then say that most of us can only remember the really successful ones. Duh. Is there some disconnect between success and popularity that I'm missing?
Off the top of my head the 1950s popstars I can name are Elvis, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, Jerry Lee Lewis, Frank Sinatra, Martha and the Vandellas, Al Martino (a minor star my mum liked), the Supremes, Johnnie Ray, plus several of the lesser knowns that Moz liked such as Billy Fury, the Cookies, Timi Yuro...
Some who had success and were popular in their time are forgotten now. But the ones who emerge with an enduring legacy had passionate fans who wouldn't forget them; they became even more important after dying or disbanding they they ever were in "their time" -- such as the Velvet Underground.
I started seriously thinking about it one day and just bawled.
But then I started my period and the made complete sense.
Don't get me wrong - I will be devastated when it happens, but I don't want to cry about it yet.
Can you imagine all the flowers?!
