I stumbled upon this website while reading about the tragic death of Paula Yates. I have always been a huge fan of Michael and INXS, and had the pleasure of seeing them live at MSG in '88. A fan rushed the stage to hug Michael, and security intervened by roughly dragging this poor girl off stage. I will never forget how Michael stopped the entire show because he was angry about how the situation was being handled. I knew right then and there that we did not have just an extremely talented artist/musician on our hands, but a real human being who truly cared about others. After reading through the excerpts on this website, I realize the hidden sadness that I had tucked away three years ago has resurfaced beyond belief. The world has suffered a terrible loss. We miss you Michael, and God bless your little girl, your family, your friends, and your following.
