A man brings a small sound system playing Michael Jackson’s ‘Heal The World’ to the site where the cafe siege took place in Sydney, Australia last week.

Seventeen people were taken hostage when a man stormed into the popular Lindt Chocolate Cafe in Sydney’s Martin Place shortly before 10.00 am last Monday morning. Five of the hostages managed to run free later that afternoon, but there were injured and 2 people died during the 16-hour siege.

The 34 year old cafe manager killed in the dramatic final moments of the siege was shot while trying to grab the gunman’s weapon, sources say, and a 38 year old Sydney lawyer died in the early hours of Tuesday.

The man, identified on Twitter as “Josh from Parramatta” brought a small sound system to the area outside the Lindt Cafe in Martin Place on Wednesday. He played the song at the site where flowers were being placed as a memorial to the two people who were killed in the siege.

Michael may not be with us physically any more, but his powerful messages of love and peace in his songs live on and continue to bring comfort and hope to a world where no one seems safe from acts of violence and terrorism.
