Dear Michael,

I already left a message here a couple of months ago, but I wanted to come back since today is the 27th anniversary of your passing (it might be tomorrow by the time this is published, but as I'm writing this it's the morning of November 22nd).

I've found myself feeling particularly sad about you today. It pains me that you never got to see your daughter grow up, and that you left behind family and friends in general. I also think you were a profoundly talented person - a great performer in both vocal technique and stage presence, but also a talented lyricist with a genuine care for artistry and self-expression - with the bonus of being humble and soft-spoken for someone so famous and talented (so I've heard, anyway), and that this gift was taken from this world too soon.

I can say with certainty that you are still greatly missed. As I said in my original message back in September, I was born a few years after you passed away, and yet your music and your life story have both had a strong impact on my life. Your legacy is certainly felt in my life - I'm sure it's felt in many others too.

Rest in peace.

Michael, the 22nd is about to hit my side of the world. Although you’re thought of daily by your loyal fans + those who love you, there is always a heaviness in the air in November. We much prefer January 22nd! Thank you for your music and gifts you left us. This month alone, I’ve heard your songs in the most random of places, and not even common INXS songs. We thrive on these moments, Michael. They feel as if you sent your music at just the right moment. I hope to ask you one day, for confirmation. Until then, I’ll enjoy your music all the more with each passing day. I’ll love you forever. ⭐️

The best years of my left, you were there with you music and lyrics. Whenever I hear your music, it takes me back to days of freedom and zero responsibilities. Just loving life and music. Your songs will live on forever and you will continue to move the world with your voice. ❤️

I don't like November 22nd, it's too sad...
Michael helps me every day of my life. I'm a girl with autism and sometimes life seems too difficult for me. But I have faith. So I offered him a mass at the Sanctuary of Saint Thérèse de Lisieux, for the rest of his soul and to thank him for the happiness he gives me. Je t'aime de tout mon coeur Michael ❤ Christelle

Dear Michael,

Today, marks {{{27}}} years you left this planet. I remember reading this tragic news on a Saturday night in my Mums kitchen…. I (like the rest of the world) was in shock…. You and your band played in Canada, unfortunately I wasn’t blessed to see you perform live…always regretted that. Anyhow, I could never let this day go by without coming out here to say a few words. Michael Hutchence you are missed, not only by me, but by many millions around the world. My good friend Graeme Lang, we work (at a bar) and, he even took (for years voice lessons…to capture your style. He’s nailed it. We both are huge fans of yours. We talk about you and your band many, many, times . I’m on the door and Graeme pours the beverages ….when we hear your music playing through the speakers….sometimes our eyes lock or I can see my friend singing while serving the customer. He’s, not only good …he’s great at singing your songs. We will toast a wee bevy to you, Michael Hutchence…who is dearly missed from this planet 🌎. Our wish to you…. Be Happy.

Cynthia

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. I can't believe it has been 27 years. I still have the train ticket I bought on the day I met you in 1986. You are missed by everyone. Xx

Your music has been the soundtrack of my life. From Shabooh Shoobah to Elegantly Wasted so many moments of my life were reflected and amplified by your music and artistry. You were one of greatest voices of a generation. Hard to believe that it has been 27 years since the world lost such an amazing talent. I often wonder what music you would have made if you had not left the world behind. Thank you for your gifts, the music is and will always be timeless.

My one regret is never seeing INXS live,what an absolute talent Michael was,such a loss to the world,talented young man.
Marjan, 08.11.2024

Helena Christensen's lyrics to you make me cry.
And the concert at Wembley in 1991 also, By my side, Need you tonight, Never tear us apart.
I don't even know why, because I don't cry that easily.
It'll be everything, just everything, I mean your life, lately.
I saw an interview from 1995.
You were doing fine, healthy, happy, so healthy.
What a man, what a talent, what a blessing to the world.
Yes, it makes me cry.

I would so love to have known you. You sound like such a wonderful person. I feel the pain of your family's loss.

You are so missed from this world Michael. I haven’t been able to stop watching countless performances of you especially at Wembley, listening to your great voice and witnessing greatness as a front man. You were so magnetic and drew us in. It’s been 27 years since you have been gone. Music and this world is not the same without you. Love forever Michael.

Hello there,

I was very shocked but also proud that Michael attended the school I am currently working in.
Beacon Hill School in Kowloon Hong Kong.
I would love to know the year he graduated from BHS as I have old yearbooks dating from 1970.
Please get in touch with me if you're interested in looking through the old yearbooks to see if Michael was in it?

Hello, I hope you’re resting well. When I first heard Need You Tonight, my jaw fell to the floor. I immediately fell in love with you and the band. I grew up lonely thus living an unstable childhood and teen years. Thank you for bringing this planet a blazing star with your beautiful work and voice. Continue resting in peace. We will always love you.

Dear Michael,

I was born in 2001, so I didn't directly grow up with your music and I first heard of you from my dad (who is also a fan), but I was so captivated by your life and artistry that I started listening to your music on my own.

I heard from the Mystify documentary that you had an appreciation for philosophy, and that you were self-conscious of your image as an artist, wishing to be appreciated for your songwriting and not just seen as a sex symbol. Well, I find some of your lyrics so deeply touching and inspiring that they almost make me cry, so I hope you knew during your life that you WERE a true artist.

Here is a selection of my favourite lyrics, which I wish to share with everyone reading this:
- "If I hurt you, I'd make wine from your tears"
- "Climbing as we fall, we dare to hold on to our fate, and steal away our destiny to catch ourselves with quiet grace"
- "And my selfish ways disappeared one day, with the realisation of the new way. Images of the free, coming into view, our hearts full of promises of all we can do"
(I could definitely think of more, but I'll leave it here for the sake of this message not being too long).

Your music has helped me through so much, including recently inspiring me to start singing again after 5 years ago I quit trying to be a singer due to my own personal demons. And I am just one fan out of millions. You made such a mark on the world and you are so, so missed.

I feel incredibly sad when I think about everything that happened to you (not just your passing, but everything leading up to it too). I'm sorry you were in so much pain. I really hope that wherever you are now, you are at peace.

And I send my condolences to your family and friends. I can't imagine their pain.
