I just bought my first INXS album after loving them all these years. Michael and the bands work was truly genius, and will always be adored by the world. Although INXS will never be the same without Michael, I will still continue to appreciate thier music. It was such a treat to watch Michael on MTV. He was so energetic, yet mysterious, and has the coolest voice. I am so happy that this site exists so that he can be remembered forever!!!

Michael, thank you.

You gave so much to so many, and continue to do so.
To quote my grandma, “Another brilliant man has left the planet.”
Gone but not forgotten.
Love to you forever.

Thank you.

Michael, keep shining

It took me a long time to come to terms with what happend. To be able to listen to michael's beautiful voice without feeling weepy. I still feel sad. Such a talent gone from us. They say 'the good die young', but I think it's crappy for the rest of us, who miss the REAL music. I won't be able to go to an inxs show, and hear the music, familiar beautiful songs not sang by the man who co-wrote most of them. I miss you michael 🙁 I feel sad I never got to meet you in person, I have such appreciation and love for the music you created. I cried when I found out you died. I have the greatest hits on rotation always. It's not uncommon to hear me singing along. Your voice is and will always be one of the best I've ever heard. If you could click on my myspace page, you'd see 'never tear us apart' playing on video. 🙂 Love to you always, and thank you again, for all you did to bring beautiful music to the world.

It is with great respect and honor to be able to sign this guest book. I have long been an INXS fan. My husband is also a huge fan. So it simple to say that we were devestated over the death of Michae. There seems to be such a void in the music world today without his charm and presence on stage.We both had the extreme fortune to have attended two of INXS's last concerts the fall of 1997. We attended the Sept concert that year at the BEACON THEATER in NY. The concert was absolutely breath taking. Michael's presence on stage was outstanding. I can rememeger him like it was yesterday. It was the ELEGANTLY WASTED TOUR. The band was promoting the Elegantly Wasted Cd which of course was outstanding. I remember Michael coming out on stage in his black suit and red shirt and sunglasses. What a huge presence he was. Michael and the band brought the house down. He sang for what seemed like an eternity and no one wanted it to end. but sadly as all concert must it came to a close. But I will never forget that night at the Beacon Theater. But our pleasure did not end there. My oldest daughter is also an INXS fan but could not get to go that night. So we did the next best thing. We purchased tickets for their final performance of their tour in the Coca Cola theater in Pennsylvania. We drove all day to get there the day of the concert. I was so exciting to be seeing Michael with INXS again two weeks later after out experience at the Beacon Theater in NY.It was an outdoor theater and the night was clear and cool. Michael appeared on stage after the band memebers had taken their places. Michael rocked and sang for what seemed like an eternity. I didn't care. Michael could sign all night long. It was magical. I guess since this was the last concert date for the American tour Michael and the band didn't care how long they performed. Did Michael have a premontion that he would never be back. I don't know but the night was the best concert ever. I will never forget those two concerts. My daughter was able to purchase the soundtrack from that concert. I don't know where she got it but my husband and I play that cd and all the INXS cds all the time. I know that time heals all things but when we play INXS and hear Michael we know that no one will take his place. We know and respect that INXS needs to move on and make music again but there choice of a singer appears to be someone who is trying to be Michael and that will never happen. We will always have Michael in our hearts and his songs and music will always be playing somewhere in our lives.

We love and miss you MICHAEL

I hope you have found peace.

Carol and Michael Shakarian

Michael,
You were a bright and shining star that burned out all too soon.
The world of music misses you dearly. Rest in peace brother.

I was a teenager when INXS hit the charts, and my strongest memory is of Michaels face on the video clip of “Need you tonight”. He took my breath away.
His voice will sing forever on disc, and in our hearts...

rest in peace michael

I rembember working for an airline american eagle 18 seats max and the passengers had to board from the outside, What a surprise I had when I was told inxs chartered one of our plaens,how nervous I was a ramp agent at the time greeting the passengers and loading the nose of the aircraft with carryon bags, and then wow here is the band ,I mean the whole band and were they nice or what! very very nice and it was a cold day and I had a pink scarf on covering my head and was told “how cute I looked” I was just in awe and more so on how very very nice the whole band was, Ive carried this great memorie for the past 15 years and just needed to let anyone out there know that I treasure that meeting daily, and may michael be blessed by all.

love

keli

The band will be a little odd without him. May Michael's soul lead the band to further greatness!

INXS was with me throught my teenage years and there are so many of songs that remind me of great times.

Michael's onstage presence, finesse and creativity will leave the world a little emptier.

May the new INXS shine as brighter light.
