I loved the energy of INXS from when they first hit the US airwaves. The memory I want to share follows: I moved to Florida in 1987, when “KICK” was big on the radio. I was having a friend install a big sound system in my little car, and I bet him that the first song we would hear, when the system was turned on, would be “Devil Inside.” AND LO AND BEHOLD, it was. What a fantastic wall-of-sound song to KICK off my new system.
This is my first visit to this website, and I am sorry to learn that Michael's dad is no longer alive to know that people still remember his talented son, and the music lives on.
My belated sympathy to his family, including his daughter, from whom he was torn too soon. They are at least lucky to have his music, his images, to keep him alive in their hearts. As are we all. May he rest in peace on earth even as he stars as a frontman for some great band above.

I would just love to share with you all that I have 3 children who love and listen to Micheal and say, wow he left us to soon, now these children are 4,5 years of age the other calls him Radio he's only 3, they love to watch inxs really they want to hear micheal, and it's a shame a voice that left us way to early I would just love to share this with my children, but I have to do this with the past video's.

No one can replace micheal! That is sad, but I will just leave it at that.

We really do always watch him everday and have for the last several years, we were into The Cure earlier, but have stuck with Micheal-inxs. you are missed, and from what I read His mom should be proud, and I am sorry you found out the way you did about his death NO mother should find out that away. May you all go with love and peace and I know in my heart it feels that he would want it that away.

He is missed here, may god have him and enjoy him like we did here on earth.

Just thinking of you today, Michael. Missing you eternally ....

Love and peace.

I have just recently been able to listen to INXS music again and enjoy it. For the past almost 9 years it just made me too sad. When I watched Rock Star INXS, as painful as it was, I was reminded of ALL the reasons I loved INXS and how much I love all the guys in the band.

I was fortunate enough to see and meet Michael and everyone many times in the mid to late 80's. I am most grateful that they began their college tour in '87 in Michigan, and played many dates in and around where I lived so I was able to see them so many times on that tour.

I remember Michael as being sweet and surprisingly shy. I was only 16 the first couple times I met him on the LLT tour, but he didn't treat me like a kid- he was very gracious and went out of his way to make me feel comfortable, as nervous as I am sure he knew I was.

I miss him, and often think of Tiger and how sad she must feel sometimes. I have two boys, 7 and 4 who are learning piano and guitar and promise that someday they will learn to play “This Time” for their mom. I can't wait.

November 22, 1997, it was the day after my 38th birthday when I heard the news of the passing of Michael. He was a kind sweet soul and a voice still to this day puts me at ease and I have a smile on my face just thinking of him. I miss him yet his beautiful soul will live on. Thank you for us to have the opportunity to be in your company, if for just alittle while.

I just saw INXS last night in Montreal and I couldn't help but to weep during the show whenever they played old songs, especially Never Tear Us Apart, Need You Tonight, etc. I was not sure if I should go but I went because I wanted to support the guys. Ever since 22 years ago when I became an INXS fan, I saw them live four times and watched them perform their classics hundreds of time on my screen. To see the band live without Michael was very painful and made me remembered how great he way. Michael was charismatic, genuine, caring and had class. He didn't over do it and stayed himself on stage. I actually can't stand this vulgar and Canada-obsessed JD. It was a great thing that there was a very tall man in front of me, so I kept moving behind him to hide the new singer. That made it bearable. At least Andrew, Jon, Tim, Kirk and Garry seemed happy on stage and that is important too. You are greatly missed dear Michael.

The music world lost one of its greatest talents the day Michael died. INXS was one of my favorite bands throughout my youth and I remember how deeply shocked I was, the day I learned he died and how I couldn't listen to his music for a while cuz I couldnt fathom he was dead. Eventually, I started listening and loving it all over again. He may no longer be with his fans in body, but he will always be with us in his music.

This memorial site is awesome. Keep it up and though that keep the memory of him alive!

I Love michael now and Forever. He brought love and Joy into my life and i shall always think or him and remember him with smiles. I was lucky enough to meet him in the early days of INXS on tour in Dayton,Ohio. he was so sweetto me. I also was able to see him perform many times over the years. I loved every moment spent with him. I shall alwways adore you michael!

Michael,
INXS has been apart of my life since I was 8 years old. I always imagined the day that I would get to see INXS live and meet you. It breaks my heart that I will never get to see you perform live, or hear another new song with your amazing voice. My thoughts and prayers will always be with you, your family, and friends. I pray that you will know just how much you mean to us. You could always make me smile. Thank you for everything, Michael. I miss you.
