The memory will always live on. Especially now that J.D. has joined the band. Very good choice.
Rock On!!
Rock On!!
The recent rise of the band in the media has brought back so many memories to me of Michael. I downloaded “Live Baby Live” off of iTunes a couple of days ago and it immediately brought me back. It seems like only yesterday that he was here with us and in such grand fashion as always. His powerful voice still resonates in my soul and gives me strength and courage to deal with life and its ups and downs. I will be forever thankful to Michael for that. His gift was precious and everlasting.
God speed.
God speed.
I have posted here before and I feel compelled to again. It was my birthday last week and my beautiful children bought me Live Baby Live on DVD because they knew that I was there (when they were babies) and that I still sorely miss Michael and have never really accepted his parting as being real. They also made me a scrap book of pictures they had found on the internet of Michael. Just lately I have been having a hard time with life and they figured that my love for Michael just needed a nudge and would get me through as it has so much in the past.
I just want to say that, even though it is almost 8 years since we lost such a beautiful soul, the older I get the keener I feel the pain - it has not abaited and is still as raw as it was on that cold November morning in 1997. I know I will always have a special place in my heart for Michael - right next to the ache I feel for his family. His legacy lives on and I thank his parents for letting him chase his dream and for giving us the most beautiful, sexy man I have ever seen. He is forever in my thoughts (much to my husband's dismay!!)

Wow. I didn't think it was possible for one man to change the lives of so many people, until i heard Michaels sweet music and his fantastically sexy voice. His music inspires me sooo much even now that he's gone.
But remeber, that we can always take comfort in the fact that he is always here with us...in his music. He can talk to us...through his poetry and lyrics. So Michael will always be alive, as long as we continue to listen to his music.
Thank-you to everyone for all your wonderful messages.....they are wonderful and i really enjoy reading how Michael effected you.

Still miss your sound Michael, what a loss to the music world.
INXS was a major influence on me in my younger days and as a struggling musician they seemed to reaffirm what I needed to do musically to myself. I first heard INXS in the US when they gained commercial success with Shabooh Shabaah, and from that point on I was hooked. I went on to attempt to establish myself through my own musical identity and I had some major achievements but as a whole my musical career went nowhere, but I have since managed to achieve rockstar status in my current field of endeavor but I still get to be a rock star occaisonally.
When Michael died I could not believe it. I could have sworn it was a dream but it was not. Selfish as I was at the moment I was upset that I may never have INXS again. Boy was I wrong because INXS with Michael will always exist, not only on the air with amazing music that will definitely stand up to the test of time and continue to outlive us all, but he and INXS will always have great memories for me.

Its 2 am and I can't sleep. Michael I will forever miss you. Sat outside and watched the rain tonight and thought of you. You were my inspiration. I would always read over and over INXS lyrics when I was younger. I didn't care about anything but those words. You were a poet and I thank you for sharing that gift. I will always love and miss you. This is for you:
You are my center
Beloved
Sweet voice who consoles me
Now night is falling
You, glittering star in the sky
Tonight,
My mind struggles
Losing patience with my heart
For I have found and uncovered
They've grown so far apart
Tonight,
I contemplate my power
To accept what I know is true
A pain that can't be kissed away
An injured world
That longs for you
SHINING STAR
You are my comfort
I am selfish
I question why?
That I am staring at you tonight
Longing
To shine with you
upon the sky.
PEACE XOXOXO

Boy do I miss him..am going to see the band this tour but know it will never be the same. Michael was truley one of the greatest voices of our time.
Michael, may you rest i peace for eternity. you were the greatest, and to me, you still are, and always will be. No one will ever be able to take your place in my heart.
Michael is truly missed ! I was a fan since the 1st time I saw them (1983). No one could sing, dance and move people like Michael did. His music is beautiful and is always playing in my heart. God bless !
On the morning of my 25th b-day my World crashed. How could the smile of all ages have faded forever. It is with great love that I say “ Michael, I miss you dearly.” You'll live in me forever!!! Thanks!!!!!
People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad. ~Marcel Proust
Hope your travels are going well Michael, we miss you and wish you were here.

Michael, I still miss you.
I feel in love with INXS hard and fast......it seems Michael read my mind and put my thoughts and desires to music. I crave Michael's voice and talent in today's music. I will forever be his fan and hope INXS can continue to reach the level of genuis they did with him as their voice. Thank you Michael for being the star you were...shine brightly in the heavens above.
You were deeply involved in my golden teenage years. You rocked. The 1997 event was a shock, a door closed, I got engaged that December... It was definetely the end of my youth. Bad and good.
Love you.

Love you.

Having grown up in a home where music was our primary form of entertainment (there was a period of about 10 years when we didn't even have a television in the house), I grew up with an appreciation of everything from classical to classic to easy listening to disco. This TV-free period in my life was in its prime during the early-80s, during which I was developing a greater appreciation and understanding of music and developing a real feel and sense for what music really was all about.
My brother, several years older, worked at an “underground” (as alternative was known at the time) music store located in the basement of a bookstore in downtown Orlando--I guess it was more underground than they thought!
As employees, they got to bring home new release albums to preview and demo pretty frequently. Most of the stuff was pretty forgettable and blends together in my memory now. But a few bands (most of them with only one and perhaps a rare second song that I can even remember the name of or lyrics to at this point) reached out and grabbed me. I bought quite a few albums and CDs (once they became available) during that time.
But very few of those are still with me today. INXS is the exception. The band had a unique sound and feel, so incredible and ever-evolving (yet somehow always true to the heart of INXS and the roots from which their loyal fans and the band themselves had grown), that I bought everything that the band put out. Even now, I have albums, CDs, Videos, T-Shirts, posters, bumper stickers, etc. And to this day, there is usually at least one INXS CD in my car and at my desk at work.
The 6 men behind that 4-letter word (INXS) which became universally synonymous with such a pure musical talent are, in my opinion, the best thing to ever happen to music. The music always takes me back to the early days of my childhood and the late years of my teens.
Unfortunately, like so many things from our childhood, Michael was taken from us too soon. What's left are the posters, CDs and records with his name and the unmistakable and inimical voice that was INXS. Michael, I miss you...and will always wonder what sort of influence you could have had on the music that will dominate the rest of my life. But I am sure that you are in a better place now, where the acoustics are perfect and admission is free. I hope that you have found “what you need.”
Rest in Peace, “shining star.”

Thank you Michael... Thank you for providing the music to my youth. The music that underscored the memories of my teen years. Wearing boldly printed INXS shirts throughout the school halls, making a statement that the music was what I need. The new sensation was the velvet voice that gave masculinity a new sound, a new aura that would never tear us apart and keep us always remembering the man that kept thousands of arms waving to the sound at
Wembley and countless other venues around the world. Here's to you, to your memory, to your abundant energy and passion that will never be forgotten. Not enough time for all that we wanted, but enought for a lasting impression for the rest of our lives. We miss you, your time came too soon, but your spirt will live on in our hearts, in our memories, and throughout our lives. For remembering you, ...these are the times!!!

Michael was a beautiful man with a beautifal voice. With November just around the corner i cant help but remember myself when i was young, dancing around in my room, flipping my hair and singing at the top of my lungs to my favourite INXS songs. After so many years his music lives on.. where ever he is now, I hope he's singing still
I did not know you until recently but I miss you anyway. I cry at the thought of not being able to hear you create and sing music any longer. Rest in peace Michael.
I love this website...simply beautiful.
“And they can NEVER, EVER tear us apart.”
Love you Michael.
“And they can NEVER, EVER tear us apart.”
Love you Michael.
Michael will always be remembered through his songs and the memories INXS and Michael's fans have
