Despite this, the former couple maintained a friendship until the troubled star was found dead in his hotel room in 1997.

The star, who is back in Australia to kick off her Kiss Me Once tour, also told the magazine that Michael's funeral was the first she had ever been to.

"I remember thinking that at the time, that of course his was the first funeral and the first kind of thing like that because Michael was just so many firsts in my life," she revealed.
