Michael was such a great artist. He was really my favorite artist. My uncle played the drums for Carlos Santana when I was a child. Michael was born back in 1960 and life was much different back then. Education wasn't that important and drug use was common amoung musicians. I have some friends who chose suicide here in the USA but it has no purpose and only harms others. Musicians often get caught up in emotions and this can cause them to not want to live. I didn't become a musician but became a Defensive Lineman Football player instead until I was injured. I am happy I did that because it taught me that you need to be tough and not allow suicide to become an option when relationships go wrong etc. I sure appriciate Michaels music though. I am a huge fan of his.
