Yeah, sad how time does that you isn't it? How the mighty have fallen. You know, in the Norse mythology, the vikings would see a time like this as proof that their age is interfering with their lifestyle and ability to contribute to society to the fullest possibility where as the younger ones still had their whole life to make their impact. So in cases like this several vikings would take their own life to make room for the young to grow and to wage one final battle against their own self and their own instincts of survival. They considered it a noble act in the respect that they're not competing against the young and vibrant and that they're facing their greatest challenge. Just a little tidbit of info. Not that I'm implying Gilmour should take his life.
