"We want to thank you firstly for making Listen Without Predjudice Number One again, we were happy, and sad all at the same time," the message reads. "He’d have absolutely LOVED it!! Can’t you just see that beaming smile and hear him say ‘Thank you my Lovelies’?"

The message also included a note on how Michael might want those still mourning him to spend the holidays.
