Gracias por tu inmensa grandeza; un vocalista que nunca desafinaba; por las letras, por tu vida iconica, enamorado por su afecto a su familiar. A los quince años, pregunte quien era ese cantante: Michael Hutchence, de Inxs, tocaba Original Sin, que me partio la cabeza. A partir de ahi, fui participe hasta este momento. Gracias
I was born in 1997 and didn't have a chance to see INXS live in concert, but I can say that your music has been accompanying me through the years and it still does.
The fact that it speaks not only to the people who got to see you perform, but also to the younger generations demonstrates the immortality of your creativity, depth and love for the beauty of life.
You're still alive in every note of your songs and we will for sure continue to celebrate you as an artist and as a person through the wonderful music you gifted us.
Eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive

I used to enjoy INXS songs in the 80's and mid 90's and hear them from time to time in the years after and continue to like them so much.
Just a few days ago by chance I saw the Mistyfy Micahel Hutchence documentary and I've been so deeply touched by your whole life and your death: What a pity miss a person like you seemed to be... RIP Michael. We will continue listening to your songs and enjoy your disarming smile...

Michael .... you are so missed 💙
Luckily we can still hear your wonderful voice and see you on all the videos.
I started listening to INXS in the early 80's. You made a big impression on me and my heart broke when I read in 1997 that you are no longer here on earth 💔 But your beautiful soul remains forever ~ 💙 ~
I'm still your biggest fan 💖
Rest in peace Beautiful Michael ⚘
Love from Sweden 🇸🇪

i am not going to repeat all of the things that other people have said and have done with respect, admiration and esteem for your being...you were far too modest to be able to hear all of that praise and it is probably best that most of it is said in retrospect, as most philosophising is, all i can do is take up where we left off in our discussions and attempt to atone for the many mis-takes i made in relation to you...i don't know the girl i was when we met, but now at 60yrs of age, i realise and can finally forgive myself for just how shallow, neurotic (i allowed my irrational fears to intrude and interfere with the possibilities open to us as lovers of life) it is a tragic fact that i was incapable i was of trusting the man you were be-coming...so, when you told me "i love you" (and i couldn't hear those words coming from your mouth so i made you repeat yourself when you knew already that i was deaf to your meaning and purpose) i was so utterly stuck and unable to show you a willing heart returning that devotion (because i doubted i was worthy, enough to give or receive so much beauty) you told me that "the balance of the world is contained in women's hips" and that feminism "isn't the answer" (to which i had responded, "sure, you can say that because you are a man!" (and you seemed surprised that i should think of you as a man - not less than a man because you were more like a girl than any man i had ever met)...it would take me years to discover that the XX chromosome is "far more ancient, much more stable and has inbuilt endurance, which the y chromosome, being the newer 'freak', does not have"...and that you were perfectly true, the balance of the world IS contained in women's hips! I have spent my whole adult life, like Alice, running as fast as i can just to get nowhere at all...i understand what the Red Queen meant now, that if i wanted to get anywhere at all with you, i would have to learn to run much faster than i ever could! I know, now, that my love for you was a broken and bruised and much wounded process but that i have been ,in my own way, every bit as devoted to learning to love and affirm myself in the way that you were so affirmative and loving in and of yourself toward me...i have never given up, i have never been able to let it go...even if you are not 'around' in your own life, i have had to re-solve what you meant to me...resolve what i meant to you, too...i owed you that much...i think the most profound words about love, aside from your everlasting poetics of space and time and heart, must be this thought of Rumi's: "Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation." "This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet." Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, absentminded. Someone sober will worry about things going badly. Let the lover be." "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about." "Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along." "...and that's the way it was meant to be..."MH
Dear Michael- how I wish that I’d known you in person back in 1997 & been able to tell you how greatly you were loved all around the world. I would have told you about the joy that you bring to millions of people & reminded you about the beauty of life. Hopefully you will be looking down, watching from wherever you are and you will finally know these things. You are so deeply loved.
Remembering you greatly this week and sending you much love xx

There are those beautiful singular souls who are sent here to reach out and touch the many with their artistry and creativity. They leave a lasting impression that becomes a touchstone, a collective moment in time that we all can retreat into...a moment filled with joy, connection...a moment filled with the people, emotions and experiences that propel us forward and onward. I remember the first time I saw Michael Hutchence in the video for “The One Thing” and thinking just how beautiful he was in a very otherworldly way. There was something about him that suggested he was from another realm. Like a lot of people, I was immediately drawn into the music. Like a lot of people, I am still drawn into the music. If we are fortunate enough, we might leave something behind us when we go, something fixed and eternal that always shall remain. Michael Hutchence did that with his music...music that is just as vibrant and beautiful today as it was all those years ago when we were fortunate to find ourselves all together in the moment, listening to the music that became a part of the soundtrack of our lives: music that has become encoded in the collective DNA of humanity. As long as we listen, Michael is here with us in this moment. So keep listening!
You left us too soon. I still hear that sound. Peace brother.
Remembering Michael today & everyday. November 22 is a sad day for me. Losing two talented musicians, Michael Hutchence & Patrick W. Lyons, both lost on the same day, same way, one year apart. Rest in peace.
Hutch how silly of me not to include our secret little password on my original post on the 22nd as always Michael as you used to whisper into my ears

Rest in love and peace. Love forever.
I miss your beautiful smile and intellectual charm. I still see you in my dreams and everyday I think of you. One day, I will be with you again in Heaven. My heartbeat deep within echoes your name Michael. Rest in peace guardian angel until I see you again. Love you forever Michael Kelland John Hutchence 💓💓💓💓🦋🦋🦋😇😇
This day sneaks up on me every year, and suddenly it feels like 1997 all over again. My life changed in 1983 when I first saw Michael dance across the stage at Radio City Music Hall. I was 13. I was in love. In awe. And my teens and twenties would have been so different had I not discovered INXS. Of course I only knew the Michael I saw on stage and the Michael with whom the media had a circus. There was so much more than that I am certain. I still wish he was here, sharing snippets of himself with us all. I would gratefully take whatever he had to give. I miss him in this world. I miss all the joy he brought. I know millions of fans do too. And I'm sure his family still misses him every single day. I only hope he is, wherever he may be, at peace. Love you always MH.
Rest in love and Peace with God
Apologies that I’ve already posted my story, deep in a Facebook thread, but I thought I’d reshare it on this anniversary day.
I’d been a huge fan of INXS since first I heard Listen Like Thieves. Michael was SO enigmatic and he became the soundtrack for my youth. We all know this first part of the story.
Over the years, I went to all the UK gigs. Starting with the Kick Off Tour at the Hammersmith Odeon ‘87 just as KICK was taking off (supported by Sinead O’Connor). Summer XS, Get Out Of The House, Strangest Party @Brixton etc etc. I particularly loved Max Q and WTWYA was the pinnacle of the INXS albums IMO.
But, fast forward on to Elegantly Wasted....and sadly I was feeling disenchanted with the band. I liked the new album but I could probably sense the tensions within the band (now very well understood...) and I detested the tabloid circus. It just didn’t seem to be about the music....and our wonderful frontman.
That mid June morning in London ‘97, the negative press had finally taken its toll on me. It was with a very heavy heart that I looked at my pair of tickets to the INXS show at Wembley Arena that night. Over breakfast, I told my girlfriend that I just didn’t fancy the gig. I had recently finished my PhD & was starting a new career. It was time to “move on from INXS and put my youth to rest”.
My girlfriend was aghast & tried to talk me around...but my mind was set. As I walked to work that morning, I felt sad but convinced that I really didn’t want to see the band without the positive aura that I loved them for. Mind made up, I entered a private hospital on Harley Street....for the first day of my new job.
The morning past uneventfully. I popped to Regents Park for lunch and was feeling relaxed. Starting my afternoon shift in the pharmacy and I’m filling a prescription...... Typing the name in the computer: “Mr M. Hutchence.” 🤭.
Sure enough, peering through the hatch, there was Michael, sat alone in our dispensary waiting room. Michael had been referred to one of our top ENT surgeons and now I was filling meds for his cold. 😳
With my new boss watching, I had to keep it very professional. But, after counselling Michael on his medications, I couldn’t resist quietly mentioning that I had tickets to the Wembley show that night. Michael came across as shy....but he was patient with me and smiled warmly at hearing this. He told me that he was really looking forward to playing London again and that he’d put on a good show for me that night....now he had the medicines!
I went home that night, excitedly told my GF and went to the gig. And loved it. It wasn’t quite a sell out....but a large crowd and good atmosphere. Michael’s voice was in it’s prime at this point....and the meds I gave him had clearly done the trick! The band was TIGHT, the Elegantly Wasted songs sounded fresh....and Michael seemed on top of his game. I went home thrilled.
We sadly lost Michael just a few short months later.
I think back and can’t imagine how I’d now feel if I hadn’t gone to the show that night. So happy that I kept the faith and went to the gig....thanks to my chat with Michael that afternoon.
For those that have made it this far in my post: thank you. And, you may be interested that Michael mentions his voice problems that day, when interviewed by MTV: recorded just before that Wembley show.....and just after meeting me.
RIP Michael: glad that our paths briefly crossed.

I thought of you today
but that is nothing new
I thought of you yesterday
and day before that too
I think of you in silence
I often speak your name
All I have are memories
and your picture in a frame
Your memory is a keepsake
from which I'll never part
God has you in His arms
I have you in my heart
but that is nothing new
I thought of you yesterday
and day before that too
I think of you in silence
I often speak your name
All I have are memories
and your picture in a frame
Your memory is a keepsake
from which I'll never part
God has you in His arms
I have you in my heart
27 year's...
Rip my hero 😢
Always by my side....xx
Rip my hero 😢
Always by my side....xx
Another year, not forgetting you and the joy, excitement and power I still feel listening to your voice and songs. I would have loved to see you turn old and grey. I hope you're up there still rocking out and entertaining the rest of those in the Great Beyond. Always in my heart. ❤️
