Guestbook

I remember very well the impact Michael's music has on my life, my growth and love for music and dance. My mother knew I was a fan and surprised me with tickets one late night after working a retail shift. I brought my boyfriend at the time and the experience was larger than life. I loved his freedom of expression, his voice, his sexuality and .. there was a stark genuine nature about him that spoke to me. I carry that to this day. I had the opportunity to meet him and the "Ferris Brothers" and was handed a mic to interview them..they signed my handkerchief. My mother (RIP) had informed me that they were in town that day being interviewed by City Pulse or something. People's talent and presence, indirect or direct, never leave us. I'm so very thankful to him for his talents and sharing with the world his artistic expression and genuine nature. I was moved by his personality ("good and bad") and grew from it in a way that has stayed with me for life; and all my dearest friends know this. THANK YOU.. to Michael .. and his band, for leaving a mark on all of us who shared a time of growth, learning, expression, and living life to its fullest. May he forever rest in peace.

Michael. I miss your lovely beautiful charm and charisma and of course your voice.
you have been gone to long but seems like yesterday,
your music still lives on.
from your biggest fan.

I am close to your age. I loved your music and also just saw the film "Mystify". You were a great singer and lovely person. It is unfortunate that you left us way too soon. You leave a great legacy of songs so you won't be forgotten as many people loved you either personally or through your music. In the end that's all we can hope for.

My message may be a slightly different one for Michael. I first got to know INXS and Michael while listening to a new song by them,,"The Stairs", which grabbed me immediately by the words and melody. I was recovering at 37 years of age from a painful divorce and lost custody of a beloved child while going through ovarian cancer. I worked in retail management with a taxing schedule of double shifts and injected radiation illness that took almost everything out of me. My other free time was designing evening gowns and had so little energy for that either! My coworkers never knew my suffering the side effects that were so ghastly then and have lingered ever since. Anyway, I never had time to research images of Michael or the group at all. I just knew whomever was singing had a powerful, poignant and sensitive voice and it spoke to me through the lyrics of "The Stairs". I got energy from listening to it. I adored classical music and had been listening to Vivaldi constantly to get me through an illness that the drs told my parents would kill me within three days. So I give credit to Michael for pulling me through that crisis. I played that song too while getting ready for dates with the pilot I would later marry, and am still with today. I have to admit, I felt there was a deeper side to Michael simply from that song. If you listen to the lyrics they are profound. I have always thought he was a huge gift to Australia and indeed, the world. I have listened to his music again during this Covid-19 pandemic, as I was getting very down and have had to stay home due to being in a high risk group. I watched recently the 'Mystify' documentary, and was touched deeply. I had no idea his struggles, and his trying to find peace with Paula and Tiger Lily. My heart ached for him. His debilitating injury took bravery and took the very essence of his joy away in just living to the fullest. I hope that Michael knows I appreciate and am so grateful for his gifts. He helped me cope with recovering my health and finding a happy life again. I did not know anything about him, his group or even his name until that one song. I never knew what he looked like until seeing him performance at Wembley, a year ago. I fell for his essence. I am praying for you Michael, that you are at peace and happy in heaven. I will never forget you and what you did for me.

I just saw mystify. Watching that documentary, i experienced a range of emotions. I remembered listening to the swing and listen like thieves as a young man of 16. I remember how i connected with those albums and how good I felt when I listened to them. Those memories have an ethereal quality to them. INXS's music was a big part of my life at an impressionable age and i wore those cassettes out. I was enthralled with Michael and emulated him. I wanted to exude the qualities that drew others to him. Apart from knowing that he left us in 97, I didn't know the circumstances that surrounded his death and that made me feel incredibly sad. It took me back to when i learned of his death. I was shocked and in disbelief when I heard the news. The world lost a beautiful and sensitive human being that day. Thank You Michael and INXS for the music. Michael touched so many lives and were made better for it.

You were one in a million Hutch!
It saddens me to hear, and read, that you may never fully understood how loved, and appreciated you were in this world.
Because you were. And still are.And always ...will be.
God Bless!

Watching the documentary about Michael's Amazingly beauty and sad life hit my heart hard again. My admiration mixed with tears and a lump in my throat.
He definitely was a Rock Star, a monster on the stage. I discovered his big legacy after his death but it doesn't matter. When I hear him, I still feel chills in my soul, it's striking. Countless are the lives and hearts you keeps touching around the world. Extraordinary!
Now in 2020 his powerful songs and voice remain present in our lives, parties, pubs, mobile phones and music players because they are timeless.
INXS is one of my favorite bands and I wish had the chance to be in a live concert.
Michael's life and brilliance are eternal. Hope you are in a bright place in the sky.

Hoy, en cerrado aqui, tuve la oportunidad de ver el documental Mystify y definitivamente me conecte con Michael, estoy seguro que muchas personas empezarán a invocarlo inconscientemente, a mi me paso.. Llevo más de tres vueltas a sus grandes éxitos. Lo extraño mucho y seria increíble un tributo de su propia banda en algún momento de la vida. Bendiciones a sus hijos

I’ve been listening to INXS since I went to a few concerts when in college and I loved everything about INXS and Mr. Hutchence. I connected with all of the songs and their music was on another level with me. I was devastated when I heard the news not only for his many fans but how much he touched his family.
I find myself still listening to their songs and wishing things were different. I will never forget how his concerts made me just forget what was going on in this world. We will never forget you Michael!

Even though I was born in the New millenium, I got in touch with Michael's music, and I'm greatful for that. It warms my heart, and makes me feel good, especially during this troubled moment, where music is a salvation. I hope Michael is in a peaceful place, I image him dancing and singing such as he could do so well. I send all my love to his family and to all the members of Inxs.

Where are you now...
I hope you are in peace. XX

Michael your band are my favorite people of all time. INXS is my favorite band of all time I love you all and I miss you dearly. When I was younger I would go in the car and hear the radio and hear INXS but I always thought it was some random band. Then, like 2 years ago my mom got me into INXS and Michael. I saw the Mystify Documentary and I felt like I had gone into Michael's world and known him. I miss you Michael. And I'm also 14 so yeah. All the other music out there is okay but nothing can beat INXS. INXS and Michael Hutchence have a special place in my heart. Thank you for making my music world so much better. You will never be forgotten.
