I think a lot of it has to do with him being close to Sammy and the brothers commanding 100% loyalty. From a Sammy interview I read maybe a year or so ago, he said that the brothers kicked Michael out because Michael showed up on stage with him (Sammy) at one of his concerts.

It could be Michael quit having had enough of the brothers shit and knowing they weren't creating anything new. But allowed the brothers to say he was "fired" or they knew he was walking so they came out and said "he was fired." before he had the chance to come out and say, "I quit."

Or maybe he was bopping Valerie, or he got cleaned up and sober and they didn't like it, or he decided to have a backbone and stood up to Eddie....

Don't know if we'll ever know. They have always been as dysfunctional a band as they were talented....

Either way I think it was best for Michael, I think he is the only one who probably has any true sanity left.
