I wrote a few times on this page and still cannot forget how talented and beautiful Michael was. Just reading book about Michael and Jim Morrison, called A tale of two brothers. It is very interesting book for everyone, who loved Michael and believe the life after here....God Bless your soul, Michael. Love you.
Just wanted to say that he gave me inspiration and made this hard world a little easier when I turned the volume up. Thank You Michael. R.I.P.
Almost 15 years went by since Michael left us and I still miss him so bad!
Sometimes it's still hard to believe he's gone. It seems as if he was enjoying a big vacation and he will be back sooner or later with the guys to release a new album.
Anyway, death is the only certainty we have since the moment we were born but no one is ready to face it. When the person in question is someone so young and talented, it's harder to accept. But it's life, there are some things we will never understand and there's no another way than trying to minimize the pain of the lost through memories and keeping this person alive in our hearts. This is the way he will live forever.
I know INXS still records albums and go on tour. I admire their obstinacy – anyway, it was their dream too -, but I have to confess that seeing guys like J.D. Fortune singing those songs Michael did before makes me feel it was a “blasphemy”. OK. He's talented. But there is a big difference between being a “genuine frontman” and “a competent one”. I confess I can't see the band without Michael. You know it's something like “Queen without Freddie Mercury”.
Each time I see a new INXS attempt to go on as a band, there's emptiness and the certainty that Michael is unforgettable, un-replaceable, unique. No one will sing “Never Tear Us Apart”, “Disappear”, “Suicide Blonde”, “Need You Tonight”, “New Sensation”… the way he did. His wonderful voice, his charisma on stage, that way he moved… sorry… INXS without Michael isn't “INXS” anymore… of course, they are still competent but Michael had “that thing” no one has. By the way, he was the one who portrayed – unfortunately - “in excess” style of life: sex, drugs and rock n' roll. He was the soul of the band…
Miss him a lot… no one will replace him.

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leafs a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
Some things are only meant to stay for just a little while, usually the most beautiful.
I turned on the radio today and INXS was on. Thank you for the wonderful music and memories while I listened to it. Wherever you are I hope that you are at peace.

I'm very impressed with the Website. Thank you for keeping it up to date. I really miss Michael, he was a true star and still he is...
I heard a song u sang today on the radio. Made me look u up. I can't believe its been 15 years. I had my daughter Keana in March of 1997. I enjoyed the pics and history. U will always put a smile on my face when I hear u sing.
Thinking of Michael today! Remembering how much joy he brought to me with his music. I was fortunate enough to see him in Roanoke Virginia in the mid/late '80's. Binoculars affixed to my eyes not to miss one move that he made! You are missed & loved MKH!! “Never Tear Us Apart”
A beautiful person, although I never met you..15 years since your passing, it still seems unreal that I wont see you perform again..you will always be in my heart Michael..God bless x
Thank you for this beautiful website. We keep the memory of Michael Hutchence alive by listening to all the great music his has given us. We're so thankful for all the joy he's brought us.
A couple of weeks ago I needed a dose of Inxs and Michael, so I spent a lot of time on youtube! I can't believe how long Michael has been gone....I remember vividly when I heard the news. I'm 42 now and grew up on the “new wave” kinds of bands that were coming out in the late 70s and early 80s. it makes me a little angry to not have him around anymore, but I'm happy for the music and film that we have of him. And I was able to see him perform with Inxs, that was so great. Best to his parents and family! xoxo Kellie
Missed so much
I still shake my head thinking such a tragedy and shame, even years later. What a gift and presence. It is still missed.
Listening to and loving Micheal's music as a teenager, is not the same as listening to it now, so powerful, he had a presence that no other artist in the world would be able to replicate, and the music and the voice my god.... Wish you were still here, making music, what can I say, I now have a son with down sydrome who loves dancing and listening to INXS....
You do not know how I miss you, even without having met you, just listen to your songs, much more, and even when I go to you site, I hear your “solo”, I returned to see some way of knowing you close to me ...
You are the greatest of all ... and you'll still remained so...
I love you...for ever
You are the greatest of all ... and you'll still remained so...
I love you...for ever
Michael was once erroneously and irreverently referred to as a “has been” onstage by a fellow musician. Only if you consider Elvis, the Stones, and/or the Beatles as “has beens” could Michael be considered in that vein. Michael was blessed with a hautingly beautiful voice--so easily recognizable--a true gift from God. May he rest in peace.
You are missed. Your music keeps me singing daily. So much great talent. I miss your smile. Rest In Sweet Peace Michael. God Bless Your Heart! Donna
parabens por manterem viva a historia do grande Michael Hutchence!
It's going on 15 years since he passed away and I am STILL discovering things that I admire about him. Your son is a hero, and I miss him too.
You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knew why
A million times we needed you,
A million times we cried
If Love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died
In Life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still
In our hearts you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.
You never said goodbye
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knew why
A million times we needed you,
A million times we cried
If Love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died
In Life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still
In our hearts you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.
