Aside from thanking his supporters and loved ones who stood by him, Michael also took the time to his friends who have been greatly affected by the health crisis.
"I would also like to dedicate this award to my friends in the fashion industry who lost their lives in this pandemic, [those] who lost hope and living very tough and difficult lives right now," he said.
