I think it's because music touches everyone. You grow up with it, you have good times and bad times...lots of memories through music.
I can hear a song and instantly be back in time to a point in my life when that song was popular or meant something to me.
That's the reason people feel a lot of sadness when a musician whose music they loved dies. It's not so much that they are feeling sad in the same way as his family is...it's more of a "part of me" died kind of sadness.
