Sister Carrie says it best over on Jiaozi "we all liked Michael Jackson", yes indeed we did, and it was so painfully tragic to watch the boy unable to cope with becoming a man, a boy so incredibly talented but so deeply uncomfortable in his own skin and with his own beautiful face that he changed them both.
I wasn't an avid fan but I liked his music and when he came to the Milton Keynes Bowl we all got tickets, we knew Michael was one of those performers you just had to see when you had the chance.
More recently I had been watching the unfolding disaster of his planned London Come Back tour, he looked so frail it seemed impossible for things to go well but his death was a total shock. We will all miss you Michael, wish it could have ended differently, wish you could have found your way back but you leave behind a body of work that speaks for itself. Sending sympathy and best wishes to your children and family.
