I remember INXS back in the 80's we use to dance at the night clubs back on those days ! Probably the best times of my life now I'am 55 born 1/24/1964 Sorry for the loss INXS and band members and family !

Sincerely,

Michael Linbrugger

I always loved this band and just stumbled upon this tribute site. How wonderful this is here for everyone to share.

Dear dear Micheal you and your music helped me through some horrifying times so many years ago..Got me back on my feet, then the news came that you died..My god I lost it completely,Not Micheal..Then I got out off touch with your music for a while.. Now I am happy and I am REdiscovering you, INXS and your music again. You are being missed by many ..Great entertainer..Great frontman..A great and beautiful man..Such a waist. But always By my side.my thoughts are still with his family and his daughter Tiger Lily..
The world lost a great performer 20 years ago..But his voice and music live on..
RIP dear Micheal

Michael's incredible voice is missing. Your music inspires me.

Micheal was the voice that got me through my awful adolescence and teens– some of my worst years. When I heard he'd died, I thought it ironic and sad that he'd gotten me through those times and was now gone. RIP and thank you.

Michael was taken from the world far too soon. I am thankful to have lived during the time that INXS was huge in the states. Unfortunately I was able to see the preform live , they will still be one of my all time favorite bands and I still listen to their music daily!

Much Love, Lance S.

There still is no one who fronts a band the way he did! I was lucky to see INXS on tour in the mid 80s. His style was so unique and sexy. I am currently reading a book on him and reading of drug use is making me so sad. I wish someone could have helped him. Were his best friends unaware of his drug use? We lost a true talent. There will never be anyone like him. EVER.

Always loved, always missed <3

I was listening to his songs again, I remember when I was a child I listened to "New Sensation", but I did not understand what he was saying I just thought it was a very happy song, and I did not know the name of the song or the band, until a few years ago I listened to it again and searched the internet, I loved the lyrics, it's really good, I like to listen to it because of the great message it has and it makes me feel much better when I feel that the sky is gray. I kept listening to other songs of the band, and the truth is that I loved the freshness and style of Michael, seriously, I love listening to his songs, and see it on the screen. Thank you for brightening our hearts with your songs

Michael marked my musical evolution, INXS were a milestone in my growth as Music lover before my twenties, his voice and their music accompanied me along the whole 90s.
LIVE BABY LIVE in Wembley was my first ever Live in VHS, my first live ever even if not really "live"... and yet that show has been a badass kicking experience for me. I watched that videotape so many times and so many times I sang along him like I wished I could one day. I wanted to be him and when he was with Helena Christiensen, for me the most beautiful woman on earth then and still today, I thought they were living the Dream Life I wished i could live myself.
I dunno why he did what he did, why he has been a man of his words "sliding away" just like he sang in his solo. His solo album was a sorta token to his fans, the token of his own legacy. A musically and lyrically pearl.
I put Michael together with Freddy Mercury, Jeff Buckley, Layne Staley and Chriss Cornell in the top Five all my favorite voices in my very own personal Music History Book. I had no chance to attend their Live concerts and that's something that tears me apart. I find myself listening to Michael solo album so many times still today, just like I do with all of them. Only Jeff, my Dream Brother Jeff Buckley remains the only voice I cannot listen singing anymore, because losing him was like losing a brother indeed. Losing Michael has been a whole different story, losing him I've lost myself, I lost the figure I felt like my alter ego, the SuperStar I wished I cluld have been. I thought he had everything, every single thing a man would want and take from life.
His death teached me the hardest of all lessons I've ever learned in these 45 years of my lifetime... the lesson was that despite whatever we achieve in life, whatever we make ourselves into, wherever we push ourselves nothing is granted, nothing is what we really got. Losing Michel has been not losing an idol, has not been losing a member of the family and nothing else like that... losing Michael has been like losing Hope.
What he left were memories, that's what remains, that's what won't never ever slide away!
I wish i could post here three pictures dedicated to you but I can't so all I can do and I do want to do is to still a few more words to remember you in three moments of your life and those three moments are all about Music and nothing else:

LIVE BABY LIVE ~ Best INXS' Live Concert and Michael's Performance
FULL MOONS, DIRTY HEARTS ~ Best INXS Mature {I'd say Adult} Album
MICHAEL HUTCHANCE ~ Best Michael Solo Performance and Album

These are the 3 ways I want to think of when I want to remember you and share you with others, because your heritage must be always shared, diffused and promoted to all those generations who are missing with us all you could have done if death didn't cross your way.

Sing In Peace, Michael... sing alongside your fellow voices who made my life better. I will always miss you.

Your fan till the end of times,
D.
