Last week, Andrews said the event will be “a celebration of his life”.

"... I think we'll be able to come together in an iconic venue and we'll be able to celebrate his life and the mark that he made and the legacy that he leaves,” he said.

"I don't know many people that love Melbourne and Victoria more than Michael did. And Melbourne and Victoria loved him as well and we miss him. We miss him terribly.

"It's a very sad day, but it won't be a sad occasion. It'll be an occasion where we can come forward and celebrate all that he did."
