I never will forget his performance here in Montreal ..
A month before he quited us ..
I'm glad I was at that Show ..
At the Metropolis ..
Life goes on .. And INXS must to ..

I'm not sure where to start here. On the one hand I want to say how great Michael and Inxs are and what a waste of a life when Micahael took his. On the other hand I want to get the message across to people that suicide is stupid, senseless!!

Michael was only 2 months older than me. He seemed to have it all - a partner who loved him, a young child, an upcoming tour. These were things to look forward to. At the time of his suicide I was dealing with my own problems. When Michael killed himself I thought “if he can do it, why can't I?”

I think the only thing that stopped me was my memories of a friend who had committed suicide and the pain that this caused to me and others who knew him. I did not want to cause this same pain to the people I left behind. Though back in 1997 I felt that the only person who cared about me and what happened to me was my elderly father (who has since passed on). I know if I had suicided this would have hit my father really hard.

I've moved on from those days (with the help of medication and counselling.) Since 1997 I've lost both my parents and I thought I was close to joinig them when I was diagnosed with cancer last year. I've had all the recommended treatment and though I will always live with the fact that the cancer may come back I just appreciate being here, being alive.

I wish Michael could have made it through and been able to find out that things do get better. Or maybe its not that things get better but rather you learn how to cope with things better, you learn to change your attitude towards things.

Michael was such a talented and attractive man. He and the other members of INXS created such great music. Right now I am watching some old INXS videos. Last week I was up dancing along to these same videos. But everytime I watch these videos or hear Michael singinh one of the main thoughts going through my mind is “what a senseless waste - Michael you were stupid.”

I guess to wind this up I should say a few words direct to Michael and hope he hears them. Michael I love you and miss you. I wish you were still here.

I only got to see the band once in 97 and that was five months before your passing the memory of your talent i witnessed that day will never leave me, thanks for the music rest in peace Micheal.

I feel honoured to sign here, and express some words in memory of Michael, when I first knew about his death I couldn't believe it, I felt like I had lost somebody I loved, I guess I was not the only one, even thou I never saw him. Inxs mean so much for me, and sorry but it will never be the same without him, he was in excess' soul. We miss you Michael.

I LISTENED TO YALL IN THE LATE 80'S INTO THE 90'S, AND YALL HAVE A LOT OF SONGS THAT TAKE ME BACK TO THOSE YEARS, WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE MR. HUTCHEN IS GREATLY MISSED. BY MY GENERATION, AND THE ONES TO COME. RICHARD.

It's like a Continent ,,, millions & millions of
years,,then..Suddenly.Splitting away..How does one ever get over it.

Hutcho,

2 days till your anniversary is upon us yet again although it is really 7 years from the day today Saturday.. I was watching a segment on pay T.V the other night and your Brother Rhett was on there on the stage and he received a message from you (via the man that is spiritual and can pass on messages), I sobbed and sobbed as I felt so sad for Rhett, the messages you were passing on to him, at least MOST of us are aware you departure was an ACCIDENT.. you forever rock and live on INXS may have quietened down but HUTCHO Lives on... luv and miss ya mate

Michael:
Thank you for your music,always in my heart.
We will for ever miss you.
“ Then I think to my self
Is there someone else
who feels the same as me”

KICK.

hey, I'm an extremely unsuccessful musician from Canada and I just want to say inxs has been a very huge inspiration to me. I'm not sure which of my favourite songs michael wrote but the ones I really love are devil inside, new ssensation, never tear us apart, suicide blonde, and the strangest party. It really sucks that he died

Like roy rogers said when i was young.Happy Trails to you Michael and miss that wonderful voice of yours!

I didn't realize that today was the anniversary of Micheal's death; I just felt like looking at an INXS website; I hadn't in so long. This is my first visit to this site and it is gorgeous. Thank you so much for having it and mantaining it.

Your probably wondering how a 15 year old girl from the U.S. knows of the talented and from what i've heard, seen in videos and read is
very funny Michael Hutchence. As little girl I would always listen to 80's and 90's music-never knowing the band who played the music but memorized by it(the music). I'm currently a 10th grader and I've been taking guitar lessons, cheering and helping coach, while also playing basketball and drawing. I remember the time in aug of this year when my dad was getting gas and he said here try this, and he put in a cd. as I heard the songs I kept saying Iknow this song and this one and this sounds farmilar... who is this? My dad wouldn't let me see the cd he was trying to be funny, finally he gave it to me and isaw the cover of “the best of INXS”. I-N-X-S I said who my dad then said no,
IN-X-S. I rembered then seeing a tape when i was about 4 or 5 and saying the same thing...it was the “KICK” cover(at the time I didn't know). My dad and my mom then bought the dvd's and the extra cd's and i was amazed . The guys were so good together and i rember saying why don't the show the singer in the interviews? “Michael” my mom said. I said oh that's his name ...yeah why? My mom told me i was crushed . And I said what you mean i cant' see them in a concert or anything? My dad said his favorite line to me “sorry you were born 10 years to late”. what im trying to say is i love INXS and everytime i play devil inside or need you tonight on my giutar i do it for Michael, he is missed greatly in the hearts of all fans... those who were old enough to know or see them in concert and those who were too young. The talent and music will always be remebered and shall live on.
My prayers go out to Michael's family. Sincerley,
Kristen
