June 25th is one of those days when I always remember exactly where I was when I heard the news of Michael's passing in 2009.

In this episode, I do a bit of reminiscing about the many amazing things that happened as a result of my friendship with Michael. I make it a point not to dwell on the sadness of loss, but rather to celebrate the incredible talent he shared with the world.

And the irony that the Michael box office numbers could surpass $1 billion on or around June 25th is not lost on me. Rather, it puts a bit of a smile on my face—just like seeing his music all over the charts again. I hope you'll consider hanging out with me In the Studio.

I had a great conversation with acclaimed recording engineer John Van Nest about the heartbreaking reason he was brought in during the final weeks of production on Off the Wall. He first told me this story a few years ago, and I've wanted to share it with you ever since.

This episode is dedicated to Steve Conger, who should have been there to see this incredible album through to its completion.

Thanks to John for sharing this tragic backstory behind one of my favorite Michael Jackson projects.
