Happy 50th Birthday Michael! These past few days have been a real joy as many of your fans have come together to celebrate your life and your musical genius. While you are sadly missed, you'd be pleased to know that your music and memory lives on. I'm sure you know. I'm sure you hear us. So many people have told me that they've heard more INXS music on the radio in the past week than they normally hear in a month. I bet that's you saying 'hello' and letting us know that you're still with us in spirit. You've had so many great achievements. Your best in my opinion are your beautiful daughter and your incredible music. I've met so many young people as a result of being a part of the various INXS fansites. Kids who were just born or very little when you left us. Kids who are inspired to become musicians themselves because of you. What a beautiful thing. The only thing that could be better is having you hear with us. Give my regards to your dad. We know you're off having an adventure somewhere.
The tribute this year was wonderful, Mr. Patterson. What a treat to see these wonderful pictures, hear these stories and be privy to the making of musical history. Thanks so much.
