Michael is a major hero of mine. I am 16, living in VA. I discovered INXS not too long ago and I have been sergically attatched to INXS music like crazy. Michael is an inspiration. There are so few musicians as full of life as he was. You can really hear his passion in his voice and watching the old concert footage/videos, you can see how dyanamic a performer he was. It is awesome that he, to this day, is reaching 16 year old like me, which probably means there are teens around the world being impacted by him still. That shows how incredible he was. He took being the frontman to another level...setting the bar pretty high for those who want to be anywhere as great. There will NEVER be another Michael, he was one of a kind...and deserves to still be recognized. I was't even born when Kick was released and I am in love with that album, especially “Never Tear Us Apart.” He really did not have enough time, to quote an INXS song.He is a reason why I am not going to give up on my own depressive battles and other problems in my life. Michael will never be forgotten. Ever. He will always be remembered...and he truly is “one of my kind.”
