4 months after having the honour of seeing INXS on their UK tour in June 1997 I booked my idyllic holiday of a lifetime to Australia. 4 weeks later Michael was dead, the shock of such a tragic loss was immense but strange how the timing had evolved. I witnessed the funeral on UK TV and 3 weeks later I was in Sydney. I had written a letter of sadness but of appreciation of a wonderful person in readiness to take to St Andrews and posted it through the door. A daunting moment but one that I was so very grateful to have had,I felt I could at least say goodbye.
For some strange reason yesterday I felt the urge to resurrect my INXS video collection, possibly not watched since Michael's death...and what did I find in one of the cases? The draft of my letter that I had taken to Sydney. I read it and decided I couldn't have phrased it any better now.
I didn't know the Memorial website existed until today and have found it extremely touching but encouraging to discover that Michael's life really is cause for celebration, he gave so much to so many and I'm sure Tiger will have inherited his goodness.
