How extraordinary that a man should have such an impact on so many lives, so many hearts and minds around the world. I know Michael has had a tremendous impact on this heart and this mind of mine. How can I ever thank Michael enough? What a special artist and special soul! He truly was one of a kind. Those words, that voice, all those incomparable performances, and that unique generosity of spirit - he was and is extraordinary! Just a man? Perhaps, but still extraordinary, nonetheless. Happy birthday, Michael! I celebrate your life and your legacy with deep love and respect. May you know eternal and infinite happiness.

I remember the day I heard You had died I was rolling through Oklahoma when the radio station announced your death. I immediately got my elegantly wasted cd out and listened to it over and over as I am a fan of your music. Rest in peace brother you were one of the best.
Is difficult to say, but happy birthday Mike. We never forget your voice, words and soul. We never forget your spirit. And we hope someday to full empty space you left. We're happy this day cause life give you to us, even same life took you away, but you stay for ever in our hearts. Your music is all but boring... is dance, is life, inspiration, pain; happy and hope. We always celebrate this day... by the way, y also celebrate saint Mario's day...

I think this is a wonderful way to keep the memory of Michael alive.
I am only 15 and had no clue who Michael even was until I was about 12, but even though I never met him or ever saw him live, I still grieve for his passing. When I first heard INXS I really liked their music, it was fun but yet still retained meaning. I then started asking questions and researching the band it was only months later that I learned of Michael's death. I then found this website and read more, and it was immediately obvious from reading the tributes and letters from the numerous fans that Michael was so loved and so well respected throughout the world. He was a revolutionary man who changed the world with his music and his passion. My only wish is that I'd been born a few years in advance so that I could have experienced the atmosphere when Michael was preforming up on stage. He meant I lot to a lot of people, and he means a lot to me. May your spirit live on my friend. Jacob McCudden

While watching the “I'M ONLY LOOKING” DVD many, many times, I noticed two mistakes in the dates of the “Listen Like Thieves” live video and the “Don't Change” montage video.
Now, the “Listen Like Thieves” album was released in 1985; and
Charles and Di were married in 1981!!!
Therefore, the date range in the “Don't Change” montage should actually be 1985 to 1997, and not 1983 to 1997!
Well, that's it! Thank you for,,, listening like thieves!
love and peace,
ann
P.S. Keep the faith!!

I grew up in the 80's listening to all the famous bands and top of the list was INXS. When I heard Michael took his own life I was sadened. It felt like my youth was voided. My herat goes out to the family and especially to his lovely daughter. LONG LIVE INXS !!!!!!
My love, prayers and good wishes go with you.
One of my first records was “Kick” when I was about 13. I loved that album so much, and I loved Michael even more....still do. He reminded me of Jim Morrison, only alive and kicking and almost within reach. Now he's with us all in spirit. I like to think he's one of the one's inspiring my songwriting and singing. I'm reading Rhett, his brother's TOTAL XS book at the mo - it's fantastic! He's a special dude too with a real nack for writing. Arohanui (big love) to all Michael's friends and family. He was truely a LEGEND who will live on in our hearts, souls and music forever....
I found this site quite by accident, actually my kids found it. I knew Michael about 21 years ago for a period of six years I think. I was heavy into my studies and he was heavy into his music and making the mark with INXS that helped to push Australian music well into the international arena. We had something in common. Whilst MMA managed INXS it was Michael Murphy (deceased) who managed my mother during her fledgling opera career in the 1960s. I believe Michael Murphy started the agency.
I openly admired Michael and people who saw us together thought that the admiration was mutual. I can say that I loved Michael very much but I had to keep my distance to save being hurt and he respected me a great deal for that. He thought I was beautiful and intelligent and we shared a lot of quiet moments just talking when we ran into each other. I will never forget his sincere gentility with me and how he whispered things into my ear whilst he was telling me some silly joke he had just picked up and then in the next sentence start a conversation about something political or philosophical that bothered him. He had a craze with the word “antithesis” when he was 22 years old. He was a very normal young man with a combination of personalities including those that were silly, sexy, searching and bewildered. I still laugh about it because he had a lisp and he struggled a bit to say the word “antithesis” to me in a whisper.
When all the drama accelerated in his life I wanted to reach out to him and tell him to come home to Australia where there were people who loved him. But as I was dealing with the grief of my first husband's death I had alienated myself from everybody and I will never forgive myself for not pushing myself back into his life and make him get the help and rest his mind needed. I know he had professional help but he needed people who just saw Michael the man, human being and sensitive artist. Michael fighting with the press was not the Michael that I knew. That was a very stressed Michael.
It took me four years to listen to his last solo album. A gift from my children. In our hearts Michael is still very much alive and will be as long as we all remember him.
His memorial in Epping is across the road from where my husband is buried. The two of them weren't too fond of each other but both were possessive of their friends.
I hope Tiger Lily has people around her who can explain to her what really happened when she asks. Her Dad was a remarkable man who bit off more than he could chew. Having a medical education I have no doubt in my mind just what really happened to him and sometimes I despaired for him. I couldn't stop crying when he died. I cried for him and I cried for me. Suicide makes those of us left behind feel so helpless. Sometimes he comes to me in a dream when I am asleep and tells me he is fine. It frightened me at first but if that is him reaching across the afterlife, if there is one, to me then I am happy he has found peace. But if that is me coming to terms with his death than I am also happy with that too. It was very hard to grieve for him with all the adverse press that went on. People snarling. It nevers ceases to amaze me how cruel people can be when something tragic does not happen to them. Michael's death happened to me and I had to go on regardless, in the end I just didn't read the papers and turned off the news mentioning him. It was very hard for me so I can't even begin to imagine what it was like for his closest friends, family and Paula. Poor Paula. But every year on the 22nd November I wear black for two reasons one: in remembrance of him and two: because he looked so good in black and he liked me in black too. Funny how stupid little things can become so important in the final analysis.
After all that there is nothing left to say except rest in peace beautiful boy.

I just wanted to say that even though I never went to see Michael in concert, he will always be within my heart......and his songs!!!
Michael was the greatest songwriter I had ever seen. His best song had to be Suicide Blonde.
one special guy who did great music, your truly missed
MICHAEL WAS TRULY A NATURAL ARTIST. I BET HE DIDN'T KNOW OR REALIZE THE IMPACT HE MADE ON ALL WHO ADORED HIM. YES, MAGICAL HE WAS. AFTERALL, HE WAS FROM A PLACE KNOWN AS THE LAND OF OZ.
GOD BLESS YOU MICHAEL, YOU WONDERFUL SOUL~
GOD BLESS YOU MICHAEL, YOU WONDERFUL SOUL~
INXS has brought me so much joy - especially with the presence of Michael. I saw him twice in Pittsbugh, sadly the last being his last. I recently saw INXS in Nashville - great show after all these years! I still miss Michael but thank heaven for the LIVE BABY LIVE DVD to keep his voice, energy, and beauty alive!
With respect to the loved ones of Michael: The music of INXS changed my life! I started listening back in the early 80's. Michael's voice is still in my head. I am sorry for your great loss. He is thought of, missed, adored, respected, and will in our hearts, never die. Sincerely, a fan.
Your words inspired me, your words uplifted me & your memory will never be forgotten - Never Tear Us Apart!!
