  • Happy Birthday Michael thankyou for making our world a better place. The mere thought of not having you in our world is unbearable. Like you I was born in 1958 am Australian and have cherished your presence throughout life. Your standards and love shine through we know you are here for the children and we thank you for caring and giving and most of all loving.

  • He has always been fantastic in my eyes, I have enjoyed his music since I was 13, and I am now 55, and still love him.. I felt so sorry for him when the media gave him a hard time, there are sensitive people, loving people with a heart of gold, and he is one of those, and I hope the papers leave him alone now.... Happy Birthday Michael... if you come to my house I will buy you a cake... Linda
