Allowed Back In
With Michelle suddenly gone, fans started calling for her at the band’s concerts. Jill was ultimately ousted, and Michelle made her way back into the group during the summer of 1966.

Despite his wife’s cheating, John was nevertheless willing to let bygones be bygones. In fact, he and Denny even wrote a song about it called I Saw Her Again. John also tackled Michelle’s affair in the song Go Where You Wanna Go, alluding to the sexual liberation of the era.
