Happy new year! I’m not sure if anyone is still reading or monitoring this site but being a huge INXS fan in my late teens, I remember when it was first launched in his memory. I was moved to tears not as much by the stories and photos posted but more so by his father’s grief & devotion to his son. When a celebrity reaches larger than life status as Michael did, you don’t often think about their family history or remember that they had parents who raised & loved them in life & sadly, mourn them in death. I found the site to be beautiful & moving in that it was a heartbroken, honest tribute created by a grieving dad, who just missed his little boy. A dad who didn’t view him as a rock icon but just his beloved son. I am sad to learn of his subsequent passing, only 5 years afterward, but take solace knowing they are reunited in the afterlife. My kudos to Susie, his stepmom, for her love and loyalty to her husband for carrying on his legacy and maintaining the site all these years later. God bless the memories of both Michael & his dad and hope they are both embodied in the lives of his daughter and other family members. RIP
Sincerely, a lifelong fan
