I never knew Michael Hutchence so I wonder why I was so upset by his death. He seemed a part of my life. He did with his music & the band obviously. My son of 8yrs strangely enough will have Michael Hutchence & the band in his life too. I can't believe it was 1997 that he was gone. It only seems like yesterday I heard the news in Australia and yelled to my husband who was also visibally shaken in disbelief. Strange really as we never knew him. But as I said he played a part in our lives with the music.
