Way back in June 1988 I was fortunate enough to get tickets to see INXS at London's Wembley Arena. I'd been a fan for a few months and was amazed to get seats in the front row.
It was a brilliant gig and I can remember singing all the words and bopping up and down to the music. Imagine my surprise when I suddenly realised that Michael had jumped down and was coming towards me!
Girls behind me were going crazy trying to push me out of the way but I stood my ground. With that Michael grabbed hold of my hand and continued to sing “Listen like Thieves” while I must have looked totally shocked!
As he finished he smiled, tweaked my nose,patted me on the head and jumped back on stage. Everyone around me went potty and started screaming about how lucky I was but I think I was still in a daze!
All these years later the memory still makes me smile and not a day goes by when I don't think of Michael and all the joy that he gave to us.
