After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend.

I have quietly kept up with all his news, he has done so many amazing things. In October 2025, D.B.L released a single called Time To Break Away and, in this post, I am going to share my thoughts on the song and video with you.  Time To Break Away by D.B.L Image from Genius Time To Break Away explores the themes of rebellion, overcoming struggle and escaping negativity and talks about serious conflict we see happening in the world.

I was twenty when Michael passed in 2009, and like so many others, I still remember exactly where I was when the news broke. I watched every tribute, interview, documentary, and the public memorial. I’ve listened to their music, watched their reality shows, and read their books. So walking into the cinema to watch Michael wasn’t just going to see a movie. It felt like returning to a story I’ve carried with me almost my whole life. I saw the film on the Saturday of the ANZAC Day long weekend. The shopping centre wasclosed except for the cinema, which gave the whole morning a calm, almost sacred feeling. I was the first person to walk into VMax Cinema 1. Originally, I had booked my usual back‑row seat, but while waiting outside, something made me change my mind. I wanted to be closer. I ...
