i would like to say that even though i have not been to an INXS concert before Michael Hutchnece is a very dear man and from the 4 books that i have read and all the shows about them i have watched it definately shows that he was a very caring and loving man towards his family, friends and bandmates. although people say he hung himself i believe differnt. to say that this man could do such a thing is dramatically overrated. i loved Michael and i still do i will always love him as a singer and performer but most of all i will love him for his caring nature towards life. after reading those 4 books i believe that if he was to take his own life it was by accident becasue he would not leave a 15 month old baby girl without a father. Micahel you have done so much for Australia and your memeory will never be forgotton. i will always remember you as the most charismatic man that i admire.
Best wishes to Michael's family,

To my Michael:
I still so vividly remember my feeling of numbness when I got the call 9 years ago today. It has been an interesting year for this Hutch fanatic, seeing INXS in concert for the first time without you and reading the INXS autobiography. Both were painful processes for me which brought about many conflicting feelings.
How many candles were lit today all around the world in your honor?? I hope you know the answer. I miss you and grieve for you in so many ways, sweet angel. But your voice comforts me. Love to the beautiful Tiger Lily and to all you other MH fans.
Michael - love always shining star.

Hello Michael
To meet you was a dream, to miss you is the sad reality! I can't believe it has been 9 years. Your music and smile lives in our hearts. In a world full of fakes..you were the real thing.
Thank you

Rest in peace, Michael.
First of all, I would like to extend my sincere sympathy to Michael's family, friends, and bandmates of INXS. My thoughts and prayers have been with Michael and all of you all day. I can't imagine the sadness you must feel today. As a fan, I feel tremendous sadness and I never even met Michael. In fact I almost feel kind of foolish signing the guestbook since I never even knew Michael, but I think that is what was so special about him, that by his beautiful lyrics, music, and singing, he was able to connect with people-total strangers- and make them feel special and happy by listening to such wonderful, upbeat music. He always sounded like he was singing right in your ear. Michael and INXS have been part of the best times of my life, and now my 6 year-old is singing their music. I have read that Kirk has said that it was very important to Michael to know that they mattered as a band, that their music mattered. I'm sure that Michael is looking down on all of us and reading all of these beautiful messages and realizing how much their music mattered. I just wish that he could have seen that 9 years ago. It amazes me that 9 years after his passing, that thousands of people still remember him and take the time out of their busy schedules to sign Michael's guestbook. He is The Loved One and his music DOES matter. I still listen to it everyday. I pray that Tiger Lily will grow up to be a happy, wonderful, loving person like her Dad, and that she knows what he was like and how much he loved her. Thank you for this beautiful website. The tears just flow when I read all of these beautiful messages. My dream is to someday get to Australia to see where Michael and his bandmates called home, preferably in late January so I could celebrate Michael's birthday at the Hard Rock Cafe with Michael's friends and fellow fans.
Love and Peace, Michael. You will never, ever be forgotten.

INXS has been my favorite band for over 20 years. I keep the Greatest Hits CD in my CD changer, and when I listen to it, I always wonder what wonderful songs would have come about, if not for your tragic loss. You were such a talent, and your voice and your music live on. You are timeless... I can't believe it's been 9 years.
REST IN PEACE.
REST IN PEACE.
Dearest Michael ~
You left this earth way too soon.
Forever loved, forever missed.
Thankyou for the gifts of your beautiful music, which you so graciously shared with the rest of the world. R.I.P. Michael,
~ love always, Barbara xoxo

It's been 9 years, Big Man. I discovered you many years after you passed on, but the way you've affected me is simply indescribable. Thanks for leaving an cultural indent in this world that nobody could miss, one that has effected so many, and may you now and forever be remembered as The Loved One.
Michael,
Even though I never met you I was able to see you and INXS perform three times in concert.
I still enjoy listening to INXS music and always think of you this time of year.
I have been a fan since the video of Don't Change.
RIP Michael!

I'm newer to INXS but feel like I've been a fan all my life. I didn't know you in person but I still miss you. You were and still are a bright light in the world and in music. Thank you for all the gifts you gave us - your love, spirit, music, and a way to meet fellow fans and friends.
I'm proud to be a listener of INXS and thankful that a group of such amazing, sweet, sincere men found each other, and continue to keep Michael's memory alive.
Much Love,

Memories of a great man
I listened with rapt attention
To the songs he sang with gritty soul
I watched with admeration
As his legacy began to unfold
I cried to some songs
Laughed to others
Made love to still more
I grieved and offered sucoor to my children
When I placed them in the earth with Never Tear Us Apart engraved like a prayer to God upon my lips.
I sang it to my father, when he passed away
I sang it to myself as I cried
On that fateful November day
Micheal has touched my life and mind
My heart and soul as well
I hope he's laughing happily
Wherever he may dwell
This is the only tribute my heart can offer, yet I hope all of those who loved him, and love him still are proud of his accomplishments, and looking forward to the day when they can see his smile light up a room again. *but not too soon, I hope*
with all my love and gratitude,
Michelle Wilcox

Today is a hard date to me,painfull as every november 22 since 1997,so i call it my 'november rain',but i try to remember it with his beautyful songs..and it is still very hard to me..so to my big idol and soulmate,you live on through me now and always.You know, one of the biggest frasses i keep every day along with me and as advice to people who i love or to some who have problems is DON'T LET YOUR PAIN TAKE OVER YOU,i hope you know what i mean!
I don't really know what to say. I don't normally participate on online message boards, but it felt like the thing to do today.
I can't believe nine years has gone so fast. And I admit that I found this a bit odd, but this past week I turned 38. I thought of Michael. I guess I hadn't realized how young 38 really is. There's so much more life to live, so much more to do. Thinking of this, made me wonder yet again about all Michael missed, and all the great music we've missed with him gone.
My heart goes out to all my fellow-fans, his family, friends, band-mates, and to his daughter.
He was with us for a short while, but what amazing gifts he left us with. So much great music, so much happiness.
Thanks Michael.
We miss you.

I sit here thinking of all the wonderful people in the world who love and miss Michael. Thank you, Ian for letting us unload our heavy hearts here. You know, it doesn't really get easier for me that Michael is not here. I celebrate his life because I feel he would have wanted me to. Michael's heart was huge!! I hear so many sentimental stories of fans who became friends who met Michael and it makes me smile. I am thankful I met Tina and we became friends. Tina will always be important to me. I am thankful I met INXS - Jon, Andrew, Tim, Garry, and Kirk (and Jon Stevens) you all are in my heart. I thank you for making music and continuing making music. I send a hug to everyone Michael touched....and I send a special hug and love and most of all peace to Michael's family and friends - you are in my heart. I, too have a huge heart and I would love to share it with you all. Thank you.....
Thinking of you today, and everyday!
I will always miss you Michael...Love and Peace
Que puedo decir, deje de escuchar INXS cuando murio Michael, perdio bastante la banda con la triste desaparicion de Michael, ni siquiera tuve la oportunidad de ver INXS en concierto, eso y la partida de Hutchence hacia un lugar donde no podemos escucharlo es lo que mas lamento.
Não sei como começar...depois de muito tempo sem visitar este memorial, e enquanto andava a divagar
pela net, eis que algo me traz até aqui. Chegado aqui vou lendo alguns posts e eis que me apercebo que é precisamente hoje o aniversário da morte do meu maior idolo. Fiquei estupefacto. E tudo porque esta coincidência de datas já me aconteceu uma outra vez. A primeira
vez aconteceu quando comprei o DVD,
do concerto em Wembley “Live baby live” realizado no dia 13 de julho
de 1991, e para meu espanto era nesse dia, precisamente, 13 de julho. Na altura recordo-me de ter comentado com um colega a coincidência da data. Agora estou
aqui sozinho e nem sei o que pensar de tanta coincidência. Mas talvez
seja apenas isso. Coincidências!!!
P.S. Agora vou-me deitar e vou adormecer a ver o concerto de Wembley. RECORDAR É VIVER!!!

To me, Michael had the voice of an angel. I would like to think that he is now with the angels. Peace be with you Michael, you will forever be in my heart...
