my mother was a fan of inxs when they first started, around the time i was born in 79. she raised me on many genres of music, however inxs, and the beauty of michael hutchence had always stuck with me. this evening i sat with my 11 yr old sister, 3yr old son, and my mother and watched “live baby live”. after watching i went online to read some comments on this site, just to complete my evening. to this day, inxs' music is still some of the very best that comes out of my cd player, blaring loud! memories of joy to michaels bandmates,family, friends,fans and most of all, as equally beautiful i'm sure as her father, tiger.
I would like to first say I have loved Michael for years. I went to their concert in 1996 in Boston, MA at the Orphium Theater. I was fortunate enough to stand with Michael as he was singing “Don't Change”. He walked into the croud as I was standing there, and he put his arm around me and continued to sing, before he finished the song, he looked at me in my eyes, and kissed me. I will always remember this for as long as I live. What a wonderful person with so much love for his family, friends and fans. Michael... we all love and miss you terribly!! Thank you for the kiss that I know was meant for me!!! To INXS-Please continue to be the most awesome band ever!!! I love you all!! Love, Heidi
I was watching the INXS reality show and was so disgusted. There is no replacing Michael. I cam downstairs and thinking of him I stumbled on this website. It was so reassuring and comforting. Michael Hutchence's father's words were so moving. I kept thinking of my son and the love I feel for my little boy. It was a love letter between a father and a son. Also the story of the pastor that was also very touching. I never had the opportunity to say how sorry I was for the loss all you had and still endure. I truly miss him. God bless Angela
I can't stop enjoying one of your first songs that always rings in my head. The song “Don't Change” can never be duplicated by anyone, other than INXS. Michael will ALWAYS be missed, but will forever be watching and I'm sure will always be gratefull for the bands decision to continue with the greatest music I can remember. ROCK ON, INXS!!
Oh my god. I grew up with this band. I was sorry to hear we lost him. His whole life ahead of him. When you listen to Michael sing, you get Goose bumps. He sang from the soul and heart. It was so obvious. What a gorgeous handsome man he was. I hope his daughter will live in his memory. I am sorry for her. She needs positive role models in her life. I am sure his family will see to it that she does. She needs God's blessings.
Music has lost another great soul. I know up in heaven there has to be one great jam session going on. You may be gone but you will forever live on in your music.
As a fan of Mr. Hutchence and INXS, I would like to express my immense gratitude for having been able to experience their music over the years. As a human being, I would like to convey my most profound sympathy and best wishes for the friends, family and colleagues of Mr. Hutchence, but most importantly for his daughter, Tiger Lily. May you all shine... always.

on that fatal day I heard the news I was in tears for days. I used to love to hear the songs, to hear his voice sing to me, to sing along to my favorite songs. But now that time is gone, it will never be the same. For tragedy has taken my love away. Still to this day every time I hear one of those songs on the radio I am saddend and I am taken back to the memory of that dreadful thanksgiving day. I can't look back to when it was a joy, only to when my heart sank in disbelief. I try to blank the songs out of my mind and I don't play the music hear anymore. Even thought I never met him or the band, or never heard them live in concert, I will miss him just the same as if I knew him forever,in my soul.
We miss you, Michael. I hope you are resting in the most beautiful and serene peace. You gave us all so much to be grateful for, and you will always, always be remembered for the beautiful soul you were and always will be. Thank you for the music and the memories. Peace to you forever...
The Aragon Ballroom on Thanksgiving night, need I say more? Then you died... I died with you.

I miss Michael's voice on the radio, his was very distictive. Not to many artist today could do what he did. He is missed tremendously.
Still a gaping hole in music.
Condolences to family of Michael Hutchence and to INXS

INXS is a good part of my living memory.
RIP
What can I say? You were charasmatic, you exuded sexuality and your kind soul shone through. Been watching the Inxs show and find it too painful to hear someone else sing the words that only Michael could and should be singing. I applaud and praise the band members for having the strength to sit there and endure others performing his words. Not only was his death untimely to his family and friends but also to the fans. I wish that you MIchael have the ability to see how many lives you have affected not only by your talents but also by the great loss that has been bestowed on us. I wish the band the best of luck and that Michael, You Rest In Peace!
I've never stopped playing the albums, never stopped listening to the words. I am 43 now and when Shabooh came through my MTV back in 82, is when I became addicted. Compare all you want. Michael was a stark and unique individual. He didn't just wear his heart on his sleeve, he tore it out and held it there for us to take a little piece of. His presence on stage, his words and his voice as instrument, all instantly moved me. I was 20 in 82, on the verge of conquering my own little world, my bounds limitless. INXS became the soundtrack to my life. Songs of people relating, the most poignant of two people relating. I think about a song like Mediate and I think how one song can link so many types of human beings, and The Stairs, and how humanity is one large living breathing body, where we all are connected to each other, however lightly or remotely. Connected. We should never have let one so eloquent and passionate about his relationship to his loved ones and to his fans and his world, slip though our fingers.
I've moved on, but no other music has affected me the way INXS has, no other voice has filled my head and felt so much like my own. I've battled my own set of demons in my time and survived them, and now have a wife and 3 lovely teenage daughters to thank for getting me through. Michael's voice and words, captured on disk, preserved for all time, still get through, still make my heart soar. Keep me young. I can't say I will never stop envying that soul who slid through my TV set in 1982 and found a place in my heart back then. Who I dreamt of trading places with many times in those 15 years. Every time I grab the microphone on karaoke night in a small smoke filled bar, I think I should've taken that chance when I was 16 and my friends thought I had an OK voice. But I was too shy to expose myself, expose my heart, my soul like that. Like Michael did. But staying who I did, allows me to keep on enjoying his art, and enjoy it, God-willing, for a very long time.
Thank you Michael. You are always by my side.
