MICHAEL'S COMMENTS: "MY LEAVING IS NOT FROM ANGER. I WANT TO GO HOME FOR A WHILE AND I KNOW I'LL BE BACK HERE SOMETIME. W HAT CANE I DO. THE SUCCESS OF THE BAND WAS INCREDIBLE AND FUN. THERE WASN'T A MOMENT WHEN I DIDN'T ENJOY IT.I EARNED A FAMILY. FOUR BROTHERS. WHEN I TOLD THEM THEY WERE SUPPORTIVE. THEY SAID 'AS LONG AS YOU'RE HAPPY'. EVEN WHEN I'LL BE IN THE USA I'LL BE A PART OF THEM."
