Yes.
Wow, what a talent he was.
It's a shame he had to endure not only the very large expectations that were put on him at such an early age, but the wrath of the sleezy paparazzi/media throughout his life. The allegations that he was hit with, I believe, were nothing more than low-life opportunist looking to make a buck, which they did. I never believed those allegations then and I don't believe them now. It's no surprise to me he felt the need to escape from it as he did.
I would hope that there are those people left in the world that see beyond the paparazzi/media BS/sleeziness that surrounded Michaels life and see Michael for the person and talent he was.
