Guestbook

I have been an INXS fan since Fall 1986. Michael, you were not my favorite member at first, but over the years I grew to admire you. Yes, Michael, of course I loved your looks, especially your beautiful brown eyes and your long beautiful brown hair. My own hair is brown, but for years I did not appreciate my hair color, until I saw you. But, it was not only your looks that I loved, and they certainly were not the most important reason why I still admire you, even in 2009, 12 years after your death. It was your singing ability, your intelligence, your passion about what you were doing, and your not being afraid to be yourself. I recently wrote a poem about you which I would like to share on this website. So, here it is. Enjoy.

MICHAEL'S SONG

The song you no longer sing
Ended way too soon
Your song, Michael, touched so many lives
Why did your song end?
And why did that song end in the way it did?
Twelve years later, we still do not understand
November 22, 1997 is a day that will live on as the day your music died
We never thought that your song, Michael, would ever end
If only we could hear you sing again
Just one more verse
One more chorus
Maybe then, we would all be able to make sense of such a tragic and lonely death that didn't have to happen
If

Such a big word to only have two letters

If only

All of us who loved and cared bout you, Michael, are left with bittersweet memories
Sometimes more bitter than sweet
Sometimes more sweet than bitter
But, always, your song will have those bittersweet lyrics
Perhaps, Michael, it is better for all of us who were left behind, to be glad that we had you and your God-given gifts for as long as we did that it is to be sad because you are no longer with us
And perhaps we who are left should continue to sing your song in your memory
And we will do our best to continue singing the song you gave us until our own voices give out
But it will always be with sadness in our hearts and tears in our eyes for a life and song that ended long before it should have
We would so love to hear you sing again
All of us you left behind
Your family
Your friends, including the surviving members of INXS: Andrew, Garry, Jon, Tim, and Kirk
INXS fans all over the world
You live on through your music
But it's not and it never will be the same again
Life goes on and we go on with it
Singing our hearts out in your memory, Michael
For you and all you meant to us

Dear Hutchence family,

On this day I reflect on Michael's gift with his wonderful band INXS song “The Gift” in my thoughts forever will remain. A true talent and incredible gift he was and always will be for those who loved him and his music for the world to enjoy and cherish. Love TIM

So very gifted... you are on Gods Top Ten, where heaven never ends. Thank You

Beautiful Man. So talented. You left a hole in the music world and in our hearts. I always wonder what could have been. You were a source of happiness to me when my days were dark. I wish we could have done the same for you.

Michael, Thank you for all you gave. You are dearly missed to me and absolutly you family. We Love You. Peace to you.

Michael,
MTV was such a good thing when it first came on our TV's. That's where I first saw INXS and discovered I was totally in Love with the band and especially you Michael. I find it bitter-sweet when I get on you tube and watch old videos of the band - it's painful but I love watching and singing along with you. You are so sorely missed by your family I am sure as well as your fans. There will never be another band like INXS nor as good of one in my opinion. I find that if I have a bad day or my life isn't going the way I think it should be going, I just listen to your voice and it soothes and calms me. We will probably never know what was going on with you in your thoughts that fateful Saturday morning.
Just wanted you to know how much you are missed and loved, and hopefully God willing, we will all be together again someday in a better place.

Much Love,

Bertie XO

I loved everything about him and the band. The first video I saw, the first song I heard, I knew they were stars. I fell in love with his voice, his energy,and basically everthing about him. I have every CD from the original band and will always cherish the music and good memories of that time in my life. (I was also born 1960) I truly wish I could have seen Michael and the band perform. I am so very grateful to be able see pictures of Micheal and his family. I also love to read the comments from his friends, it sounds like he truly was the remarkable person that I thougt he would be. Thank you all for making this site available. And, Thank You, God, for Michael!

Hola,Michael,i think of you so many times,and i wondering if you are ok there where you are,i hope God have you at a very special place.I have you in my special place,in my heart.I love you more and more every day,and your music inspired my soul and my life.i think of your tiger lilly and i pray for her,i ask God to protect her and let it know that the father love her so much.i love Hutch i see you in heaven when God decided,peace!!

just like to thank micheal and inxs for making some awesome music and still gutted that his gone ..one of the best singers ever x

As a fan of INXS, as much as I miss Michael (and I do), I feel he's still alive whenever I hear INXS' music. By My Side is just a fantastic song...RIP!

I never got to c u live in concert, but I am sure I would have enjoyed every second if I had of seen u in concert. We will never truly understand why you left us so soon, only the fact that u have. U left behind many people who loved u for many reasons, especially your beautiful daughter Tiger Lily. May she be constantly reminded of how gifted her father was and know that he is looking down on her from heaven, waiting patiently for her. No one can ever replace a talented original!! May you always rest in peace, Michael. (Maybe I can catch up with u when I get up there with u?)
