It’s hard to imagine ourselves being in a position where we don’t know what to do when faced with a sudden tragic incident; like the stars at this year's Grammys. Torn between going on with their planned performance and enjoying the night and mourning the sudden loss of a fellow star; the celebrities on stage still managed to do both, with so much compassion.

The night had to go on but we're sure a lot of us found solace in knowing that the show included all of the tributes that Kobe definitely deserved.
You'll be missed, Kobe. Our thoughts and love go out to all the people and the families of those who perished in the incident.
