I had seen inxs several times in concert and the last time was shortly before Michael's death at the Beacon's theatre. I was in the front row and thrilled. He interacted with the audience including me. I was overcomed with the thought that he was tired and sad even though his performance was energy packed, he seemed small and in need of a real hug, not fans jumping all over him on stage. I just noticed a change in the band's appearance and interaction on stage, since I last saw them. I guess I wasn't shocked when I heard Michael had died. I was greatly sadden. He had a voice that was strong and clear. I'm so glad to hear that he has a solo album being released, I have missed his sound. The website is beautifully done and a great tribute to a talented man. I'm glad that he is not forgotten.
