It is nearly 5 years since Michael left this planet for a better place, (we hope) and this is the first time I have sat down to read this website. I have known it existed since it was born, only I havn't been able to put myself through the pain of admitting that he really is gone, (from us at least.) When I was 8 years old (I am now 31) I told my sister that I was going to be the one to marry Michael! Unfortunately for me that didn't happen, and much to my delight nobody else got the chance either!!
My sister and I saw all of INXS' shows when they came to our locality, and each time we would both joke about which one of us would be taking Michael home afterwards!
The closest I ever came to it was at a concert in 1984/5 when I swear he looked directly at me from up on stage!! I was to find out later that Michael was severly short sighted and probably didn't even see me!! My fantasy was shattered.
When I heard the news of the tragic passing of 'My Rock God' I turned the television off and went into denial.
I have purchased all of INXS' albums and also Michael's solo album, and I listen to them frequently with the volume up just high enough so I don't blow my speakers, in an attempt to let Michael hear it too.(Are there stereos in heaven?)
So for the first time in almost 5 years, today I have read through this site and finally admitted to myself that Michael has left this life, and cried and cried and cried.
I'm not sure if I feel better just yet, I'm still feeling pain, but I know from past experience that the pain will give way to all of the memories I have of Michael and he will stay with me, and yes with you forever.
Thankyou to Kell' and Patricia for bringing a beautiful star into our world, my wish is for your pain to lessen each day, and for you to know that Michael IS with you, for he would not leave those whom he loves so dearly alone in this life entirely.
As for INXS' decision to recruit Jon Stevens, I can only hope that it is not detrimental to their music (post Michael)I am not sure that I am ready to listen to someone else try to bring Michael's charisma and style back to the lyrics he and Andrew wrote, but if anyone can do it then Jon can. For those of you that don't know or remember Jon from Noiseworks, you are in for a treat, I guess one day I will be able to watch him do his best, although it still hurts when I see him on stage with the guys instead of 'My Hutch!'
PEACE. XX
