But what song would make his funeral ‘pop off’?The first song I fell in love with Growing up, every weekend we’d visit a different Sri Lankan family’s house in London. One kid had Thriller by Michael Jackson, and I fell in love with Billie Jean. I then ripped my brother’s Michael Jackson Bad poster in a retaliation move, for which I now formally apologise.The song I do at karaoke I’ve never done it. If somebody had my family and said: “Pick a song for them to be released,” I’d still consider not doing it, before eventually settling on Mama Said Knock You Out by LL Cool J. Continue reading...
