I still miss Michael so much. And that has special resonance for me because I had a cousin Michael, whom I was very close to, who also committed suicide. It's so hard to accept.
INXS was my first big concert in August 1986, in London, Ontario. I'd been a fan since the Swing, and I couldn't believe I was actually getting to see them live, especially since I lived in a little farming community, called Woodstock, Ontario. My cousin and I went to the show, and it was the most amazing, incredible thing I'd seen. Every time they came back to Canada, from then on, I saw them. In Toronto, where I now live, in Ottawa, where I used to live, and several more times in Toronto. My favourite was a small show they played at the Phoenix, in May of 1993.
Michael was so full of life, charasmatic, intelligent. He really thought about things. I loved his shirt that read 'Watch the World Argue', and the song, 'Dancing on the Jetty'.
It's so sad that in a moment of desperation, not being in his right mind he killed himself. So much promise, fulfilled and anticipated, gone. I suffer from depression too, so I do sympathize with others. I understand those suicidal thoughts, but it breaks my heart so much to lose people I love so much. And Michael is one of those people. I will always love him.
