Today and Forever 

Michael's life and soul are forever twinned with his soulmate and partner, the late Summer Serafin. Her tragic passing came 13 years ago and her memorial was held, incredibly, on his birthday, quite rightly cementing their bond. Michael's words that day became re-imagined as “The Choral Text Passage” on the band's 2018 album, Sometimes in Dreams. Hear it here.
