Phyllis was planning on committing suicide after her concert However, she realized that some people had already discovered her plans and decided to commit suicide before the show. It was her third attempt.
She had 2 abortions in her life, which ate her up because she wanted children badly.
It was reported that Phyllis wanted to be part of the waiting to exhale soundtrack but for some reason, she wasn't chosen and it really hurt her.
She had a 7 year relationship with a woman. She needed love with anyone but she was so moody and depressed due to her bipolar disorder that relationships were difficult to maintain.

Ok so the Michael/ Madonna story is as follows..
“In 1989, Madonna was named ‘Artist of the Decade’ by many newspaper and magazine polls. Warner Bros., her record label, even paid for an advertisement in one of the industry trade publications pronouncing Madonna ‘Artist of the Decade’. It was the kind of empty compliment record labels often give their artists in paid promotions, but Michael was incensed by it just the same. He telephoned John Branca and Frank Dileo and complained that Madonna didn't deserve such an award. ‘It makes me look bad. I'm the artist of the decade. Aren't I? Did she outsell Thriller?’ Michael asked, his vast insecurity” ‘No, she did not,’ he said.
John who, lately, was in the business of problem-solving for Michael, suggested that he could approach MTV with the idea of a fictional award. Off the top of his head, John came up with something he called ‘The Video Vanguard Artist of the Decade’ award. That title sure sounded impressive to Michael; he was happy, again. ‘That'll teach the heifer,’ he said, speaking of Madonna.
And so it came to pass that at the MTV Awards in 1989, Michael was presented with the ‘Video Vanguard Artist of the Decade’ trophy. Peter Gabriel handed over the honour, certainly not the most meaningless award ever offered at such a festivity, but sad in that it was given to a fellow who really wanted people to know he deserved it. (To this day, the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award is presented to artists who excel in that medium”
