I never had the chance to see neither Michael nor INXS live. I was a young boy growing up in a suburb of Athens, Greece, having no chance whatsoever to see them live. His death stroke me hard, as he was my icon and a person with whom his music I grew up, fell in love, travelled mentally to Prague (through the magnificent video for "Never tear us apart"), so his death was like the end of an era for me.
I still have my vinyls to remind me of another time, more easy, simple and funny.
RIP my dear Michael. Your songs and presence made us what we became.

I saw INXS in New York at the Felt Forum in late July1986. I was 16 and fortunate enough to be on the dance floor and get close enough to Michael singing Listen Like Thieves. We locked eyes for a few seconds, maybe even minutes where I was under his spell feeling like the only one in the room as he kindly spilled water on me and perhaps others in the vicinity, as it was a hot summer night. I watched Mystify over a week ago and still can't get him, his music and this memory out of my head. I was so sad to hear of his death and how he died all those years ago. Hope you are resting peacefully in heaven Michael and thank you for that moment I have never forgotten.

Спасибо за документальные фильмы о Майкле, за статьи, за интервью, за этот сайт. Я глубоко тронута историей этой глубокой многогранной личности. Его голос бросает в дрожь. Очень жаль, что не суждено было встретиться. Я буду помнить о нем.

I still listen to your music especially in the car & I still watch all the documentaries about your life although I never ever watch the endings. Your music, like you, will never grow old

Su voz llego a todas partes del mundo, soy Argentina y amo sus canciones, hoy 2021 sigo escuchándolo y bailando. Siempre vivirá en nuestros corazones. Soy joven pero agradezco a mis padres por permitir conocer semejante artista. Saludos a la familia.

Lá se vão quase 25 anos que você deizou este mundo e ainda dói. Pareceque foi ontem.
Fico me fazendo tantas peguntas.
Por que você ficou sozinho?Por que não não saiu daquele quarto e correu para algum amigo, família? Alguém que pudesse impedi-ló de fazer mal à você mesmo Michael?
Você se foi nos deixando órfãos da sua alegria, seu carisma, sua música. Dói saber como tudo acabou.
Que você tenha encontrado a paz nos braços do Criador meu anjo.
Que você descanse em paz.
R.I.P 💖😪😪

I can remember the first time I saw an INXS video on MTV. I fell instantly in-love, as much as that means to a twelve year old, with Michael. I was obsessed.

Flash foreword to 1997. By then I was twenty six. When I learned of Michael's death, it felt like the entire world stopped. I was in shock, then fell into deep sadness.

I will be 50 next month. I dont know why, but I have been so sad for the past 2 or 3 weeks...even shedding a tear as I write this. My sadness is in the loss of the entire world, in not experiencing the many hours of happiness INXS, specifically Michael, gave us. His smile, his eyes, his laughter, yes that sweet lisp you mentioned Ms Tina..his words, talent...the list is endless.

But what hurts my heart even more deeply, is the fact that his beautiful daughter was robbed (literally) of everything left of her father, his memory, his work, and even his personal belongings. It shatters my heart to know she didn't get to hold his leather jackets, smell him on his t-shirts, wear his jewelry. It is such an incredibly tragic story. I wish something could be done.

I pray for Michael, Tiger, you Tina, I pray his parents are with him again, and I pray for Rhett. I pray Michele and Helena know how much he loved them.

I have so many "ifs" as I'm sure many people who loved him does.
I hope and pray, (if there is a Heaven) we will all unite as friends and family. But as silly as this sounds, that I will FINALLY get to meet Michael. After nearly 40 years of being a faithful fan, I will give him a bone crushing hug!
I am in the process of collecting INXS items, so I can share it all with my ten-year old daughter. I want to make a time capsul, and include INXS. I have adored INXS since 1982, and will love Michael forever. Twenty four years later, it is still so raw, and regrettable. Please don't stop sharing with us. Please consider a 30th memorial if not up to a 25th. He brought such happiness to so many people, may his memory be eternal!!
With love,
Mary

Ciao Michael non c'è giorno che non ti penso, mi manchi, prego per te. ❤️

Listening to Michael tonight, such a waste of a beautiful sole

Such a talented artist he left this world a better place because of his music , RIP such a beautiful man inside and out x

I love him and appreciate all the joy he and his band have given to me all the years. He is so beloved and revered it's impossible to tell but I know you feel it too millions of others also he is sorely missed and will be in my heart until the day I die

First time I heard that voice. INXS exploded in America with "Listen like Thieves. And Kiss the Dirt. I took that tape to a party and everyone said, I really like these guys! In '91 I grabbed X at the record store to buy their cassette and get to the airport and catch my plane from Minneapolis to San Diego CA. I get in my first class seat behind the pilots and put the cassette in the walk-man. It had been a long time (10) years since I flew and I was nervous . "Disappear" started playing upon taxing the runway. I was ascending and hearing their new song and every time I fly I have to listen to "Disappear" and on my return flight taking off from CA at night there was a huge full moon. It was absolutely huge and it made the most beautiful flight I've ever been on. All the while flipping the tape and listening to INXS. I wont fly without that particular X CD. Every time I hear "Disappear" I can feel my stomach being pulled strongly forward and up into lift off. I'll never forget the joy INXS's music has given me. Thank you Michael for being here while I was here and INXS you really made people happy. I did get to see them in concert once. great show!
