He is in pain...but listeners would never know it when hearing his beautiful, masterful playing. His soloing is delightful. It's almost as if he is a part of the piano, the way he brings lovely music forth. He provides untold happiness to people all over the world. RIP Michel.

What i find truly impeccable is that his disease, osteogenesis imperfecta, actually causes him to be in constant pain. Yet he could play so gracefully and masterfully. This is what pure passion gives you.

And yes it is a great immense feeling. Every composition I watch and hear him play, I fall in love with every chord progression and little notes he adds.. I feel blessed once again to have discovered something truly astounding. Thank you Michel for the good sound, I will forever remember this moment. Rest in paradise
