Aidan, Kelli, Monica, thank you so much for your posts, they truly made me feel happy...its funny how I got to know about Michael...see, until last December, I wasn't really interested in rock music, and on TV they were advertising about playing an INXS concert (LIVE BABY LIVE)...I wasn't too interested. But that saturday night, I was switching channels and I came across the concert (I wasn't intending to watch it) and I watched Michael for about 2 seconds and I was like,“ Wow! This guy is REALLY fantastic!!” and for the rest of the concert I couldn't take my eyes off him!!!!! My little sister was also mesmerised, and she was like, “Hey! This guy's featured in the Guiness Book of World Records (1999)!!” So during a commercial we fished out the book and there was Mike, featured under 'Biggest Australian Rock Icon' and that was when I read about his death. I was in shock...I was watching him on TV, and he had thousands of people mesmerised, he looked so full of life and energy...and he was gone. The next few days I went around acting normal, but on the inside there was this terrible, terrible sadness and a sense of deep loss. Then I found this website, and I read about his father passing away and that night I just cried and cried and cried...I mean, the kind of energy that Michael had while performing...the curly brown hair, the endearing, sexy smile, the twinkling eyes, that awesome voice...there has never, ever been, and there never will be a performer like our beloved Michael Hutchence...but now I'm more at peace ( mostly after reading all your lovely posts!!) and I realise maybe its better this way, rather than have him living a life of misery...and now he's with his Dad, which is great! I feel so much happier now! Of course, every now and then I break down, but on the whole, I'm at peace. Love you SO much Mike, and you'll be in my heart and prayers forever!
