I, like anyone who ever experienced a glimmer of the beauty and the talent that was Michael, was in constant awe of his presence, and am, consequentially, forever haunted by that absence. Micheal was, and still embodies - unequivocally - the absolute quintessential Rock God. A man with the grace of a gazelle but seemingly in possession of the gentlest of underbellies. His story, which mid-section reads like a modern day fairy tale ended, tragically, in the closest semblance I can invoke of a modern day Greek tragedy, of which Michael, unwittingly, became enveloped as the most unfortunate of pawns. Oft times listening to Micheal's music brings up extreme but conflicting emotion. I remember the joyous abandon I felt the first time I ever heard "Don't Change" to the lump I felt in my throat - and still get to this day - when hearing the first bar of "Never Tear Us Apart". He's my dark indulgence. Like a great bittersweet chocolate that I know is SO good for me yet leaves me unsatiated and always yearning for more, there's a hole in the universe that only Michael Kelland Hutchence can fill. Michael - you will forever break our hearts - U R 1 impossible act to follow...if only YOU knew how much you meant to ALL of US. #nevertearusapart
