This is a huge loss. It would be like Tiger Woods dying or any currently living figure that is the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time) at their profession. Woods being the biggest superstar ever in golf, Pavarotti being the biggest superstar ever in opera.

More like Jack Nicklaus dying - Pavarotti wasn't at the top of his game.
Also, arguably Caruso was bigger
