I remeber the day Michael died...I was shattered. I had first heard of INXS in 1982 when they played with Cold Chisel but saw them play in the summer of 1984. They were amazing and Michael was the guy every other guy wanted to be...not only because he could sing but honestly- it was the way he could move. Michael was graceful and yet could look disjointed in an Elvis Costello sort of way and he strutted across the stage like Mick Jager. Michael was in command when he was on stage. He held the audience in his hand and the energy was amazing. I saw the band againin 1986 and then in 1988, then not agin until 1994. I never considered myself an INXS fan- but I made damn sure I saw them whenever they came near NYC...I realized when Michael died- I must have been a fan all along. I saw the band again in late summer 1997. I would never have believed it had anyone said something so stupid as 'Michael will be dead in a few months”...no way- he was a god...but it was true. I remember when he died in late November '97- though I never met him his death cut me, personally.
-Michael your death is a loss to us all and you are missed and loved by so many people across the world, it is a testimony to your prowess and talent...
I think of you often and pray for you and ask you to look down on us and let that energy you hold so deep in you shine out on us...I wish you were still with us...to hear you belt out a song and dance and swagger and strut...if only once more...
