I'm sorry, Analog, that's not going to cut it. He's the manager of a celebrity who died a high profile death. It's unreasonable to think the guy could make it out of this without talking to the media. This is a big story; it's a tragic story. People want to hear about it. You might disagree with how the system (i.e. mass media) works, but the pressure put on him to make these appearances is as undeniable as it is immense.
I very much doubt his first priority in some global sense is to make media appearances. I'm sure he'd much rather be with friends and family mourning the tragic passing of a friend. The structure of our society doesn't support that choice and you're being intentionally obtuse and insensitive to say that he's realistically in a position to do otherwise. YOU might not care about the pressures of the media world and might wish they didn't exist, but that does not make them somehow disappear for someone who has spent his entire life and career immersed in them.
