FELEPPA HAD AIDS AND DIED TWO YEARS LATER OF A BRA HEMORRHAGE WHILE VISG FAY BRAZIL. THE UNEXPECTED ATH OF HIS LOVER SENT MICHAEL TO A PRSN AND A BOUT OF WRER’S BLOCK.

THE SONG, STRIPPED OF PRONOUNS, SCRIB FELEPPA ONLY AS “A LOVE.” BUT THE VISCERAL LYRICS — PERFORMED WH A FULL ORCHTRA, HIS LEATHER JACKET REPLACED WH A FLOOR-LENGTH DTER, AND INIC SUNGLASS REMOVED — MA CLEAR THAT THIS WASN’T JT A SONG, THAT THEY WERE ABOUT SOMEONE IMPORTANT TO HIM. SPECULATN ABOUT HIS SEXUALY HAD BEEN DORMANT DURG HIS ABSENCE OM THE POP CHARTS, BUT “J TO A CHILD” FUELED THEM ONCE {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;DISPLAY:-WEBK-BOX;DISPLAY:-WEBK-FLEX;DISPLAY:-MS-FLEXBOX;DISPLAY:FLEX;-WEBK-BOX-PACK:CENTER;-WEBK-JTIFY-NTENT:CENTER;-MS-FLEX-PACK:CENTER;JTIFY-NTENT:CENTER;} .TWTER-TWEET-RENRED, {M-WIDTH:65%;WIDTH:TO !IMPORTANT;} {WIDTH:100%;} {MARG-LEFT:TO !IMPORTANT;MARG-RIGHT:TO !IMPORTANT;} IMG{MAX-WIDTH:100%;WIDTH:100%;} > IAME{BORR:NONE;MAX-WIDTH:100%;} > *{MAX-WIDTH:NONE !IMPORTANT;}{BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#F3F3F3;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}WHILE MICHAEL WASN’T A RELIG MAN, HIS LYRICS WERE FILLED WH CATHOLIC IMAGERY; HIS SGLE CROSS EARRG WILL BE IMMORTALIZED THE POP-CULTURE NON FOR ETERNY.
