I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart...

I was a teenager in the 80's and I grew up listening to his music
Never forgotten

Death of a young person is so Tragic. And yet What is Death but a Change of Worlds.

Dear Michael,

It's been a long time since I've visited. I need to drop by more often. This is a precious place, here in this corner of the Internet. It's almost like sitting in a cloud, far off from everything else. A place of peace and refuge, while the world spins in chaos all around it.

It's still such a tragedy that your life ended the way it did, but in a way, I'm glad you're not here to see what has become of this place we inhabit, because I know your heart would be broken and your soul would be very, very heavy with grief.

And that's all we do. We inhabit this sphere, held in place by gravity, orbiting a sun, in a solar system, in a galaxy, in one corner of the universe. But we don't live here. We don't take care of this place. We do not treat it as our home. We don't even live authentic lives anymore.

We don't even take care of each other. We are divided into factions, each side blaming the other for all the problems, being absolutely hateful and sometimes violent, when someone says something that another person doesn't agree with. Governments all over the world are becoming tyrannical in the name of democracy. It's a frightening time.

You knew all of this would happen when you penned the line "Watch the World Argue". But in The Stairs you gave us hope. You were, are, and always will be, an old soul. We need your words now, more than ever.

I don't know if those of us who were there from the beginning can pass on the magic of what you gave us to future generations, but we are trying. We are trying to inspire a new generation with your music. We are trying to tell your story. You mattered then, you matter now, and you will always matter. We remember, so we never forget.

Our lives go on. We have changed. We have grown up. We hope we are better people than we once were. We went in different directions. Some of us still stay in touch after all this time, and for those of us who don't - well, our paths do cross occasionally , because we are bound together by you. We always will be. It's pretty amazing.

I suppose someone from the outside looking in might think we are obsessed, but we know better, and you know better; so let them think what they will. We know how it was when you looked a person in the eye, you made them feel like they were the only person in the room. We are just a group of people who were profoundly affected by your life and death because of our own special sets of circumstances, and we went through it, together.

I hope you are finding the peace you were so desperate for in this life. I know I have, and I am grateful. I never thought it could happen. I will honor you always, by continuing to help you find your place in this world, so others can heal and be inspired by the life you lived, even though you are no longer with us, and have gone onto the next world, wherever that may be.

For some reason I always imagine you sitting in a tree, just observing everything. I don't know why. But I find comfort in it.

Until next time,
Deirdre

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.

Hello my beautiful Michael, Thinking of you even more today as it is your beautiful daughter Tiger Lily's 23rd Birthday! I know she will be thinking of you and wishing you were here to celebrate with her... She will feel your Love and light that you send down to her from Heaven! We miss you down here Michael, but I know you are in a much better and peaceful place up there in Heaven. Your music, talent and memories will never die down here, as they only get stronger... Your wonderful friend Richard Lowenstein has just made the most beautiful documentary about you, you would be so proud and humbled by this.. You are so loved and so missed by so many! Sending you much Love and big hugs always! All my Love forever.. Karyn xx sox xx 🙂

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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!!

Just thinking about him...grew up with this band. Just missing them/him. <3
