I adored Michael, I was a great fan of him and the band. I am 39 now and remember seeing them at all their early gigs in Melbourne where only a handful of people would turn up, I am talking about when I was 14 or so. I remember exactly what I was doing when I heard he died and will remember that forever. I feel like I grew up with him in my life, music was a constant for me as was Michael and INXS. I remember after one concert he threw a plastic glass into the audience that he had drunk out of and I kept it (still have it). I had it blu tacked onto my wall for at least 6 years while I lived at home and would not let my mother touch it, there must have been 3 inches of dust in it by the time I took it down and put it in a box! I miss him dearly, as do all his fans.
