Michael was photographed at the event with Daisy and Charlie.
But then he called me and told me: “I am no longer afraid, I felt this angelic light at the foot of the bed that told me that in the middle of the night in seven days I will receive a new body.” And he died seven days later at 11:59. It was very comforting.'
Daisy said she told Michael to “come back and say you're okay.”
She continued: 'It would have been! But I didn't hear anything. It made me doubt myself. And then I woke up here and there was no draft in the room and the duvet was up. Then there was a knock on the bedroom door and a musical hammering. And Slugs said, “I'm going to miss the Phoenix Festival.”
Daisy revealed that Michael loved the festival held in Cirencester, where the Guns N' Roses tribute band played that year.
Adding to the eerie experience: “Was it a coincidence?” and claimed to have experienced more supernatural encounters after his death.
At the time of Michael's death, This Country co-creators Daisy and her brother Charlie, “absolutely heartbroken”, paid a moving tribute to their “generous, gentle and funny” friend, saying he was “never bitter or self-pitying.” . His health is not good.

At the time of Michael's death, This Country's “absolutely heartbroken” co-creators Daisy and her brother Charlie paid tribute to their “generous, gentle and funny” friend in a statement.
'He is kind, loving and caring. One of the most loving, generous and kind friends, who you love and have fun with – it's fun.
Despite everything Michael has been through in his life, he has never felt bitter or self-pitying. He brought pure joy to one and all. His company was the reason you were happy to be alive.
One of Michael's favorite movies is A Muppet Christmas Carol and he always jokes that he's Tiny Tim, so it seems appropriate to quote Kermit the Frog.
'It's okay kids. Life is made of encounters and divisions. That's how things are. I am sure we will never forget Tiny Tim or this first division between us. Miguel, we will miss you very much. xxx'
In 2018, Michael revealed that he was unwell after a “very rapid” deterioration, and later clarified that he was suffering from heart failure.
She shared the sad news with her fans on her Facebook post, explaining that she plans to spend her final days at home with her family.
In an interview with The Times, Daisy spoke about growing up in the Cotswolds and said that although she now had the money, she preferred caravanning holidays to spending time at an exclusive Soho farm.
The This Country creator said his parents couldn't find work and “sometimes they didn't have food.”
She said: 'The Cotswolds are hell if you don't have money. You are surrounded by wealth.
The actress revealed that her “parents have a habit of running all the rich people off the road in Range Rovers,” and she felt that way for a while.
Daisy revealed she spent £90,000 on the Range Rover and lost £40,000 when she sold it, despite not being able to drive it.
“Not even money comes close to happiness,” he concluded.
