I can't believe that its been 17 years since Michaels death and today it still doesn't seem real. I was 15 years old when I first heard of Michaels passing and it really hit me like a ton of bricks. Ive been a fan of INXS music since I was 8 years old and grew up listening to their music. I grew up in the 90's, a time when the music scene really changed and INXS were no longer the thing here in the states, but I still loved Michael and the guys and always supported them no matter what they did, and now that Im 32 years old I often think if Michael were still around, INXS would have made a comeback and would still be making great music. I just remember the day he died how sad I was because when you grow up and idolize your heroes, you think that nothing can happen to them. But what happened to Michael is just one of the saddest stories in rock and roll, and its something we will never know the real story of what happened. Rest easy Hutch!! You'll always live on in my house!!
