i still miss another michael...

hutchence. inxs was the shit!! what a waste

I remember being shocked over his death because INXS had JUST released the "Elegantly Wasted" album. I remembered seeing the video to the title track going "that Michael's a sexy man" then months later he was dead. I was like "WHAT?!"

It's been an awful time for us fans. It's wrecked havoc on me emotionally, I was SO SO excited for This Is It even tho I live in Australia, just to see him back was enough. Just last week I almost lost it in the supermarket after thinking too hard about him. He's someone the last four generations of people have grown up with, I'm only 20 and have so many memories memories of growing up with his music and it affected me so much, it was all I listened to as a kid till he went on a break during 97-99 and Britney came along lol.

I think it's totally normal for the real fans to still be mourning and feeling upset about it. It's TRAGIC, whether he's alive or not - whether he had to fake it and get out of America or whether he was horribly killed by accident - whatever way you put it, it's sad, infuriating and heartbreaking. I don't like ppl who say he's hoaxing to show the media who's boss - that would be unfair and awful for the fans. It's a serious situation, for him, his family and his fans. There's some speculation that terrorists were going to bomb the This Is It concerts and that's why he hoaxed. He would never do something as serious as leave for the media or Sony or whatever...

As Mike said, you're not alone and millions of us are still feeling it. When someone is such a big part of your life, and music has a direct emotional effect so there's a chance he meant more to us than some family or friends lol, it's totally normal to be still crying. Trust me, even though the hoax clues help me through, I'm still so so upset about him. I miss him so much every single day. We all do.

Do you have a source for the speculation?

Lawd, it was months ago, I read it on here in the "BOW Believers Thread" - wade through it if you've got about a week to spare

(I don't actually fully believe it myself, I do think his or his kids lives were being threatened, though...I mean we sort of knew that already with all the audio on youtube of him calling people saying he felt unsafe and that people were after him)
