I honestly wish you were here. You have the most angelic voice. Michael, thank you for singing relatable songs. Whenever I listen to your music it’s almost like an escape to me. An escape to another planet. A planet where there is peace and love. I really hope your peace is with you. Please know your fans still love you. As someone who is 20, I missed out on seeing you, having you on this planet. Thank you for everything.
RIP budd

Sending you much Love and big hugs always! All my Love forever.. Karyn xx sox xx 🙂
M.H.-YOUR MUSIC LIVES ON.
there are people who don’t deserve what they get
and those who never get enough.
these questions are endless,
cut what you get
knife to plate
you still feel the hunger
lest we forget
all the rest.
our lives are granted,
don’t count the days without
since our last conversation
and the smile on your face
and the laugh that drove me crazy.
all the complaints
fell in the mix
six
Into a no longer will matter.
I pray times let’s me forget.
Who would have known?
looking back now,
Wish we’d learned this lesson long ago,
Still somehow,
Love felt like a message from the soul.
begging me to follow.
On now without you...in a physical sense
I feel you all around me.
Michael...
In the dark of night
Those small hours...x

I remember as a kid going to see this band called INXS at Festival Hall Silos Tuenes tour last leg of the big tour and 2nd last concert in Melbourne. I was hooked staright away by the music , the voice, the front man that had this certain way with the crowd. Plenty of charisma and presence . Thanks for changing my life and sharing your music ! RIP Michael Hutchence !
Realised it’s exactly 28years ago we went to best gig of our lives at Wembley (Summer XS) mates and I remember it as of the best days ever and it was deem to
Michaels charisma and showmanship.
Michaels charisma and showmanship.
In the 80's I was a teenager and still this music is so good and hot, he just had "it ". It seems like yesterday xxx
I loved Inxs!! Michael Hutchence was a Beautiful man. I loved his music & his voice. I revisit his videos alot!! It brings back wonderful memories. But, also sadness. The best frontman is gone. That makes my heart sad.
Here we go.....
cue intro to ‘what you need’
‘Hey you, don’t you, won’t you listen?

I’ll take you, I’ll take you where you want to be.
Best Band ever INXS..forever!!!
You go Michael, we live to tell your story....

Michael will always be one of those people I'd find fascinating. I would've loved to know what it would be like to grow up with him still alive. I wasn't even born when he passed so to see and hear all these incredible songs and watch these wonderful clips of him in "Mystify" it will truly be a reoccurring curiosity as to what would life be like now if he were alive. I hope Michael has found his peace and that he is up in heaven wiring songs and sharing the talent and gift he shared with the world when he was on earth.
As a person who appreciated Michael’s music and his talent it feels appropriate to put into words through this memorial. Like many only knowing him because of his career. He was undoubtedly a brilliant performer poet & by all accounts of those who knew him personally a very genuine guy. His life is to be celebrated he left a legacy that will never be forgotten.
Hey Michael,
As I am writing this message I am listening to your 1987 album Kick with the song Devil Inside
I just wanted to tell you how I found out about you. 2011 I am 5 years old and I hear your song Don't Change on the radio while driving to the shops with my mum and I think this is the best thing I've ever heard in my life.
So a couple of years later I find out my sister likes your music and after bugging her for hours she finally put some of your music on my iPod and my addiction of your music goes on from there.
I hope you are resting peacefully in your grave in California
Yours Always
Daniel

Firstly , Thankyou for making this platform available for us to to honor Michael. An artist , a writer and frontman of this great Aussie band. A soundtrack that was my adolescence shared at the beach with friends on my red cassette player back in the 80’s. Thankyou for making the music that make my memories come to life when l hear you Michael. Xxx
Dear Michael,
Most of us ask the same question, why? I remember seeing INXS on MTV for the first time, and crushing over you. I was in high school when your music entered our souls. When you died it seemed like such a waste. It wasn’t until recently with the documentaries that I have learned your story. I can’t help but wonder if you wouldn’t of hooked up with Paula Yates, you would still be here. It was sad then and it is still sad. Rest In Peace bud!!

What a talent,
Taken from us way too young.
His music and the memories will live on forever.
Thanks for being part of my life and showing me the value of music.
As you said at the Bowl. Rock on!!!

Just thinking about him...grew up with this band. Just missing them/him. <3
Grew up in Oklahoma City and graduated in 1995. You defined the sound for a significant part of my late childhood. Now that music is so ubiquitously available with Spotify and Apple Music, I’ve rediscovered INXS and now I find myself filled with emotion as I remember your departure from us. You made me want to have long hair as a young adult (and so I did). You participated in making me want to be a musician, and so I did...poorly (I’m a software engineer today by trade but sing, play guitar, and do music production in pure amateur fashion).
I feel anger, sadness, love, and nostalgia when hearing your voice and seeing your pictures and videos. After having children of my own that struggled with mental illness, I go through all the “what if’s” that I’m sure your family has invariably gone through a million times since your death, and I’m angry for them...but I also grieve and sympathize for you even today, although I didn’t know you personally, but I absolutely knew an important part of you. I know you live on, both figuratively AND literally, and I subsequently pray that you have come into eternal light and I pray for the family you left behind. We love you Michael and celebrate you with your music that you blessed us with...and perhaps that’s enough to redeem the pain that took you from us far too early. God bless you and keep you. Keep singing and dancing where you are good sir.

Im not sure, I just finished watching the Never Tear Us Apart documentary. I have listened to INXS my whole life, mostly passively. I would have been 3 when Michael Passed. Seemingly randomly listening to their album today. Got recommended to watch their doco this night. I have never cryed for someone I have personally never known before. I feel like I knew him, I feel like we were mates since birth. Your a great father mate. Respect, for the love you give your son. I believe he would be stoked.
Thanks Michael - just heard Dont Change. I’ve been married 19 years, my beautiful wife seen you in the early 90s, I guess you sang to her or met eyes long ago - she has the fondest memory of you bro -
Love the music you’ve left behind - thank you

Dear Michael,
I’m 16 years old. I was never alive when you were, but I listen to your music every day. I’ve learnt about you and your history through my dad, my mum, through news stories, documentaries, tv shows, and most importantly, I’ve learnt about you through your own voice and your own words in your music. Listening to INXS now, I just wanted to say how thankful I am that a soul like you ever walked on this Earth. You left the most amazing footprint and you were a truly talented artist that left an everlasting impression on so many lives. If I could choose any day to go back in time to, it would be one where I could jump up and down in unison with an entire audience as INXS music pumps through the ground and as you’re up there on that stage living in the moment. Your words have brought me joy when things have looked dark and it’s calmed me when I’ve been anxious.
You will never be forgotten in my mind and I’m sure it is the same for so many others. Thank you, Michael, for all that you have given to all of us and for blessing us with your gift of music ❤️

Conocí a Michael en mi adolescencia. Vivo en una pequeña ciudad de un hermoso y pequeño país. El era mi ídolo, decoré mi cuarto con fotos de él. Soy de la generación del `78. No había internet, y el CD recién comenzaba. Así que recuerdo con mucha ternura cuando mi padre me regalo mi primer "cassette" de INXS. Yo estaba feliz....
Michael ocupa un lugar muy hermoso en mi vida, su voz me llega a mi alma... Se extraña su risa....
Así que Michael donde sea que estes...LO MEJOR PARA TÍ....

My Heart has been heavy , I lost a good friend this week to cancer. 3 days later my my friends son died of an accidental overdose he was only 22yrs old. Your music has given me comfort. You were such a beautiful soul.. Your daughter is beautiful just like her dad. Thanks for beautiful voice , it really has brought me comfort!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
It's funny because I'm not really a star fucker so to speak. Yet I think of him frequently, as do many. Time hasn't really healed anything. I feel more sadness and less acceptance. As much as we all appreciated him, I wish the world would have better understood him. I know that's a loose term. It's not like I knew him personally. So what did I understand? I understood that the music and the lyrics brought joy and sadness and every emotion in between. Every significant period of my life or threshold crossed seems to have a song of his or the band's attached to it. I hope he knew that beyond the media and the women and the chemicals and the hair existed something meaningful to myself and others. There were times he saved my life. I wish we could have saved his. I hope to meet him some day and thank him.
I will never get over his passing. He & his music meant so much to me. Gone too soon. Never forgotten. R.I.P. Michael. See you again one day.
