Guestbook

as a fan, michael & all of inxs entertained me for many years ans still till this day.
as a songwriter, michael & the band have inspired me to write some of my best work.
michael was and still is the best vocalist in music history. as well as the most amazing songwriter and live performer.
inxs is responsible for some of the greatest songs ever written, including: 'searching', 'elegantly wasted', 'the strangest party', 'new sensation', 'need you tonight', 'not enough time', 'disappear', 'original sin', 'burn for you' 'shine like it does', 'let it ride' and listen like thieves' to name just a few.
and in my opinion, the best song ever written: 'never tear us apart'.
michael was a genuis, and so is all of inxs.
they changed pop music forever, and made some of the most amazing music videos in the process, as well as doing out-of-this-world live shows.
michael will NEVER be forgotten.
he may be gone, but this world is a better place, because he was once here.
his talent will always live on, through his amazing career.
here's a tribute song i wrote for michael.
'fly as high as you wanna fly':
'heaven is lucky to have you- i hope that they know.
but it hurt like hell for me- to watch you go.
i'll miss you so much- cause you were the best part of life.
but i know it was time- for you to say goodbye.'
(chorus):'so go ahead and spread your wings- and fly as high as you wanna fly.
you can go where you wanna go now- cause there are no limits in the sky.
you've done so much for others- now it's time for you to be free.
so go ahead and fly- to where you need to be.'
'i know it won't be easy- living life without you here. you were the best friend a guy could as for- and i'll miss having you near. ...but i know you had to move on- and find a new place to grow.
so i wish you the best- in your new home.'
'so' (chorus)
'fly as high as you wanna fly- no one can stop you now.
fly as high as you wanna fly- you'll never fall back down.
you've done so much for others- now it's time for you to be free.
so go ahead and fly- to where you need to be.'

Wow! I can't believe that it has been just over 10 years since Michael's passing. I was living in Budapest, Hungary at that time and remember that day vividly. You see, I had been a huge INXS fan since 1984 and was voted “Most likely to leave high school and become an INXS groupie/roadie.” I have lots of great memories associated with Michael and the band's music and the one time I was able to see them live in Albuquerque, NM in 1988 is still one of the best concerts I have ever seen. I was in the 2nd row on the floor and it was amazing! Well, I just happened to stumble on this site and it brought up a lot of great memories. Thank you Michael, Tim, Andrew, Kirk, Gary, and Jon!!

Michael, your words and music will always live on. “Heaven Sent”!

It is still hard to believe that Michael has gone. Everytime I think of him I look back to the best days of my life with my family, girlfriend and friends. His and his bands music will stay in mind and I will keep this memeories forever. Thnak you Michael, the Band and the Hutchence family for a fantastic time in my life.

What a beautiful site you have created. I was watching old videos on youtube. Micheal was always larger than life and a star from the first time I saw him. He was different. His star quality always shone so bright.

I bought the INXS greatest hits CD the day he died as a small tribute to him, the band and the wonderful music they created. INXS is a truly iconic band of the 80's.

I still feel said sometimes when I hear their music, because Micheal died too young. His fans still miss him and he is not forgotten even after all of these years.

I wish his family only the best. I as so sorry for your loss, mine pales in comparison to those of you who knew him so intimately.

Michael was indeed a gifted person, there arent many people who can lay claim to that. I don't think inxs are the same without Michael, in my opinion anyway. I can't beleive it's been ten years since he passed away, I hope you have found peace and that you are surrounded by love all the best mate.
Regards,
Robert

I can't believe that it's been ten years since Michael has gone. I get chills everytime I hear his voice and miss him greatly.

Hola Amigos de INXS ya han pasado 10 años,el tiempo pasa muy rápido.En lo personal sigo recordando a Michael como un buen hombre lo admiraba mucho y en la medida que voy creciendo y madurando me voy dando cuenta de su obra y legado para todos nosotros .Espero tener la oportunidad de conocerlo cuando me toque el momento de partir .
Tube la oportunidad de verlo en unos conciertos en Mexico DF y me la pase muy bien.
Un saludo a la banda de INXS y a todos los fans.

Unbelievable it has been 10 years already. It was a shock to hear, I (still) am a big fan. Thank you for all the great music that you left behind. You live on forever.

Always in my heart, often on my mind. A big regret, being too young to see you in action when you were with us. I am so pleased the guys are keeping the magic that is INXS alive. Miss you. My thoughts are with those who loved you dearly. x
