Is it normal to be this depressed over a member leaving your favourite band?

OK, so I am totally in love with my favourite band Sonata Arctica, and I have been for years. But it was only recently that I found out that the bassist, Marko had left the band due to personal reasons. I was really sad to hear this, to the point it's brought me down into almost a depression. He'd been one of the founding members of the band and now he was gone. And sure he was the bassist so didn't get as much spotlight as the others but I still miss him. :( I always liked Marko - he seemed like a really sweet guy and talented, too...
I think the worst part of this feeling is the fact that I have never even got a chance to see them live until now. And now I'll never get the chance to see him... That's what makes me depressed... It would be alright if I had one chance to see him with them, all together one time. :( Is this normal the way I feel and how can I possibly feel better? I really miss him and am kicking myself for not going to one of their shows earlier.

    I can see your point. I mean...if even one member leaves they are NEVER going to make music in the same way ever again. They could get another bassist of equal skill, but the creative chemistry will be different. I can see getting depressed by that, but honestly don't let it go too far. Just accept that all good things come to an end, and just be happy that that you got what you got.

    You're supposed to be 18 years of age or older to be here.

      Thanks for the sarcasm, I'm 19 by the way so you have no reason to insult me

    For the record, I HAVE suffered from depression for the past 2 years and recently it started getting better, but... The problem I have is that I am too deeply affected by things... I care too much and get too passionate about things, that wouldn't matter so much to other people. But most don't understand what it's like, to not even be able to see the sun on a good day... Like I said, this has kick-started my depression again, because I'm affected so much by this.
