I was 16 when we lost Michael. I remember the news and not understanding what it meant. I was a kid. Last night we had friends from Brisbane staying with us, wanting to have a fun night they suggested we listen to INXS. Song after song played, with each song we all yelled and danced. After some time we started talking about Michael - his success, his death but more importantly how he and INXS changed music in Australia. Since last night I haven't been able to stop thinking about Michael. As his parents, his siblings, his friends - you should all be immensely proud of the man that was. He was inspirational. He did what many people cant. He followed his dreams, and won. He will forever to known as a music legend. I have thought about his death a lot today. I don't believe the rumours and suggestions surrounding his death. Why the media would want to plant such ridiculous stories baffles me. He was an amazingly talented man who was struggling with depression. Unfortunately the depression won that day but what could never be taken was his spirit and that lives on within each and every family member and friend forever.
