Michael told Ed not long before he died that he should play in the round at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Ed will be performing at the MCG on Michael’s anniversary as well as the following night.

Ed Sheeran wrote his song ‘Visiting Hours’ about Michael and premiered the song at the State Memorial Service for Michael at Rod Laver Arena on 24 March.
