“Well, it was his birthday,” Liza told Shaun at Sunday’s party in LA for Lifetime’s “Drop Dead Diva,” which she guest stars on in an episode airing September 20. “He would’ve been 51 years old if things had been different.”
Liza continues to mourn her friend, who will finally be laid to rest on Thursday in LA, over two months after his death on June 25 due to acute Propofol intoxication.
“He was a wonderful guy. He was a good man and for those of us who really knew him, we knew all that and [we knew] what that kid had to go through between his family and everybody else just using him so much,” Liza continued. “And he tried to do so much for everybody. He was always at hospitals.”
The star said she would continue to feel Michael’s loss in the days ahead.
“I loved him, I respected him and Ill miss him for the rest of my life,” she said.
Liza added that Michael would have enjoyed her “Drop Dead Diva” role, which sees the real-life diva starring as Lilly Wells, a book-smart psychic, who engages in a legal war with her sister, played by Delta Burke. Rosie O’Donnell also appears in Liza’s episode with series star, Brooke Elliott.
“He would love it. I’m serious,” Liza said. “He would laugh. He had the best sense of humor ever.”
