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.

I miss you every day
Firstly, I'd like to thank Michael's father and family the initiative of this guestbook and kindly sharing tender and beautiful details of Michael's life, that I am so glad to know. I have always been a fan of the band Inxs and I really admire Michael's talent, perform and incredible powerful and marvellous voice. This admiration is stronger as time goes by and I grow older. I will always miss Michael for being such a special person, great musician and the good man I am sure he was. There"s no doubt Inxs and Michael are a legend. I love you
I listen to INXS music over and over and Michael gets more charismatic the more I listen. To this day, one of the biggest losses! I loved him and his music!
I'm listening to Michael's solo album right now and to INXS almost everyday. It's been 27 years but still his voice touches me deep inside. And listening to his solo album and the lyrics really gets me so emotional. I feel his pain, his struggle, his love, his kind soul. Miss him so much. So gifted, so talented.
I simply loved the bones of Michael, even though I never met him, I felt as though I knew him. I'm now 54 and went to see INXS when I was a late teenager twice. What scares me is I'm now so much older than Michael was when he died but still see him as the older gorgeous guy as time has stood still since. My friend and I often send each other pics of Michael when we need a boost or if it's our birthday, or simply a 'happy Friday'- you were that special Michael. We grew up knowing you and your memory lingers on in us. Wish I could've met you but it was never to be. At least we got to spend some time with you albeit in the company of thousands of others!! I still think you saw me-yes, I was the one in the crowd with the red dress on and I had long black hair! Love you Michael-always!! Love to your existing family/friends too and how proud you would be of them all for remembering you in this very special way XXXX
I miss Michael so much. I play INXS everyday. When I am having a hard day ,his music, his voice picks me up. I pray your having a great aussi day! Note to my mother. Mama hold his hand and strolk all over heaven with michael.
RIP Michael

Happy INXS Day! It's Tim's birthday but still a great reason to post on this site and wish everyone a fabulous and fun INXS Day filled with music, laughter and goodwill.
I wish Michael was here to witness this universal INXS Day and know that there's still plenty of love for him and his music.

Jon and I still put on INXS and wish to God that Michael was still alive. Someone with so much talent, charisma and passion, he is so missed. We are so sorry for our loss. He was definitely one in a billion. We miss him and hope he’s happy and living his best life somewhere in Heaven!
I loved listening to his music and watching him sing. He was so beautiful and full of life.Gone way to soon RIP Michael. You will be forever missed. Still missing you,Janet Mccauley

Those Vocals !! Those Snappy Tunes and those Videos ! And Easy on the eyes... Thank you for your impressive body of work. What a catalog !
Michael...Quase 27 anos sem você.
De lá para cá tanta coisa mudou e sua música continua a ressoar pelos corações de quem o amava.Espero que sua alma tenha encontrado um lugar de paz,onde você repouse em uma nuvem de felicidade e bem estar.Que todas as sombras que habitavam seu coração tenham se dissipado e que a luz brilhe em sua essência.Você só trocou a moldura do seu ser.A morte não significa o fim,mas o começo para uma nova vida.Obrigada por sua música e por todo o sentimento de cura que ela nos proporciona.Obrigada por sua vida e por toda sua arte.Descanse nos braços de Deus livre e em paz.🌷🙏🏻✨

Gone way too soon. I loved listening to him sing. Such passion and talent.
Amazing, loving, human! A lifetime of extraordinary accomplishments. Drive and talent most will never touch. Rest in peace Michael 💘
Our beloved 80s playlist would not be the same without you. The lives you touched are immeasurable. Rest in Peace.🕊️
I’m saddened at a great loss. We miss a talented man with an amazing voice who gave the world so much. Thank you for your beautiful music that lives on. And thank you to his family for allowing fans to comment on this very beautiful memorial.
Thank you and Rest in Peace.
Thank you and Rest in Peace.
Dearest Michael, I first fell in love with you the moment I watched the Need You Tonight video. I saw INXS at Birmingham NEC Dec 5th 1990 (the X tour) . I was so emotional, I started crying at the first harmonica note of Suicide Blonde and didn't stop !!
I can't imagine I'll ever get over the loss of you...your voice, your beautiful face, your moves...
Love you always, Michael 🥀

I had a friend who worked at Tower Records who turned me on to INXS in 1982. I became a fan instantly and bought every cd as they released them. Michael's solo project (Max-Q) I liked so much, I wore the heck out of the CD and have never been able to find a replacement. It amazes me with today's technology how much I've missed in the last 40 years and how much we've missed without that beautiful talented man. Thank You for your music Michael !
I have always loved INXS, Michael Hutchence, he was so gorgeous and talented and gone but not forgotten, who could ever forget him, not me, I love redoing his photos and making new ones, I have some on my Instagram Tonya Chichi, check them out, I love Michael and I'm so sorry for the family's loss and it's just heartbreaking, thinking of you all and thinking of Michael every day and I'm sure he's looking down watching over everyone, love you Michael 💔
I miss you! Even after such a long time, I often think of you and INXS and I still love listening to your music. It was a great time back then and even if the world keeps turning... some people will always be missed.
Tuve el privilegio de ver a INXS cuando vinieron a tocar a Argentina- realmente Michael era poseedor de un magnetismo único, no podías dejar de mirarlo y el concierto fue increíble. Siempre celebraremos su música, el sigue siendo para mi y creo para muchísimos un icono.
Lo amo infinitamente

What a Beautiful person! His friends are so very fortunate to have been a part of his life. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and those close to him. I so wish I had been given the opportunity to have met him. I know there are so many questions you each ask yourself regarding his passing. My nephew who stepped out at the age of 28 yrs. old on 12/28/99 after suffering from depression and a breakup. He left a son that was 6 yrs. old then. We all miss him each day. I so wish that this very talented man was still here. You can see all the kindness he held in his face. What a horrible loss. God Bless him and to his family and friends. Love, Bette Hyde
I only recently found out about Michael's death. (I have led a sheltered life). I am so very sorry for the loss of Michael. I absolutely love his voice and INXS music. My favorite is: Never Tear Us Apart. RIP Michael. Forever remembered, Angie Jones
