Cowell's tribute to Winner: Laughter was never far away

I'm very sad to hear about Michael passing away.

He's become a very good friend over the years and someone whose company I have always really enjoyed.

Laughter was never far away when Michael was around and he is someone who the more I got to know, the fonder I got of him.

I am sure there are a lot of other people who, like me, will really miss him.

– Simon Cowell
