Guestbook

It has been a while since I last came to this site. I've made myself busy meeting new people in this new phase of my life but I started hearing your voice again and realized that we are about a week away from your birthday and I still wish you were here to celebrate it. Listening to your music still brings me such joy and sadness. Even after all this time I miss you....its the ache that doesn't ever really go away....it just diminishes.

It's imposible to me to accept that Michael is not with us anymore,but in my heart and people's hearts he continues singing and singing.
See ya Michael .

Michael still brings me so much happiness. I am 52 years old and raised 3 children (2 became musicians and my daughter just last month requested that I send her a best of INXS CD). I saw Michael 3 times in concert. I love to clean house listening to LIVE BABY LIVE and I received the DVD for Christmas this year! I still wear my INXS t-shirt that is 20 years old. My heart still aches when I hear Never Tear Us Apart. I actually plan on having that song be our “first dance” at our wedding reception. My son's middle name is “Gus Michael”. I Need You Tonight is my ringtone for my fiance. What I'm trying to say is, Michael has touched my family in a real way. I miss him.

I always thought they were good, I do how ever prefer the band when Michael was lead singer. That is just a personal prefence,the band has gone onto bigger and maybe better things. I can't beleive it will be 12 years this year since he passed away. I hope your daughter comes back to Australia where she belongs.

It's been a whil since I last viewed this guestbook, I felt I needed to leave a message again as I didn't do that for some time. The new year has just started Michael's anniversary is recent before that. For years years I was devastated thought this feeling of total confusion grief would never fade. But now 11 years after his death I've found a way to finally accept it the biggest part of my emotions are now deep gratitude rather than daily tears like before. I flew to Sydney for the funeral 3 times after that for the memorial service, a trip I took which I will never forget regret. After many years of endless heartache I came to terms with the loss but as a different person. The massive impact has left a lifetime scar. Every day I see Michael's picure here on my wall on the piano. When I take his picture in my hands to clean the frame, I hold it close to me for a while then for a moment it feels like he's with us once again. In my emagination he says he likes my soft sweater. Then I put the picture back again and encourage him to sing for me. His memory became a new kind of reality to meand I feel that I need this to replace the reality of his death. He,and nobody else but he has taught me how much I'm actually able to love someone. I can't remember ever having loved anyone else even more than I love him. The unavoidable truth with that is that with his death I also learned how much pain it gives to lose that so much loved person. Michael was one of a kind to all of us. His talents were unmeasurable and the impact on others who loved him were equally huge. Here at home I sometimes touch his hand or hair on his pictures,and this little escape from the harsh reality keeps me going since the moment came that I had to accept that his presence changed into a memory. I love Michael more than words can ever say. He's a part of me and always will be. We'll keep him cloe to us in memory and heart for the rest of our lives! Mary from The Netherlands.

It's been awhile since I've been here to do some reading from friends loved ones...yes not all of us were really loved ones but Michael you were our LOVED ONE!the one that brought a warm glow to our heart,body soul.Teaching us about love friends...like the friends you had in your band mates.They will always have their stories of their Loved One.We the fans will have our stories also.The most beautiful story of all anyone can tell is of the love you had for your family your friends and fans,but most of all the love that will last for ever..the love a father had for his beautiful Tiger Lily. No one will ever really get it Michael what you felt when you looked at that beautiful little girl. You were a deeply soulful man and we will always miss you.
We must all remember all we have to do when we are missing you so bad we can't take it any more.We just go out in the night air on a beautiful twilight night and site and look up into the sky....at those stars and you will feel closer to Michael,even for a moment it will help.Missing you more than words can say!!!!!!!!!Michael...You are my Loved One!

Good Morning - i was first introduced to the sounds of INXS in the late 80's and had the privelage of seeing INXS live whilst on holiday in Mandura WA - it was a concert I will never forget - RIP Michael

Great man, great singer, great group...........

Another year we are beginning without out you. You are so miseed. And so loved too. You will always be remembered!

Still very much in my thoughts and so dearly missed, a truly wonderful man and so sad he is no longer here in person. I was able to go and visit his memorial at the Northern Suburbs cremotarium in Sydney in late 2008 and thought what a peaceful and tranquil place it was. The music still lives on and so will the memories.

we're on the verge of another year without you...

your music touch my inner soul...I will miss you!
