    It's an awful position to ever be in, deciding whether to go on or not without your frontperson or a key band member.

    ^^Yeah, Michaels untimely death must have been hard on them for so many reasons.
    But it is interesting you actually saw them with a different singer.

    And they really were very very good. I mean, Michael was key in writing the songs they were performing so well, so most likely they wouldn't have had all the group of great songs to perform if he'd never been in the band (or it would have been somewhat different songs), but in terms of how the songs sounded and how the band performed, it was different but still very good.

    But there is nothing like Michael. Obviously Stone and Jeff were in a similar situation with Mother Love Bone, and for them clearly the best move was to move on with something new, not try to find another MLB singer, because in their view there was not other MLB singer. So they created something new.

    Maybe INXS tried that as well, ,though not publicly, to do something new, and it just didn't work, so maybe that's why they kept coming back to trying to find a new front person?

    By the way I don't know how or why Jon Stevens came to leave the band, but I really enjoyed his performance while he was there.
