Hello one and all!! Much love to you all!! Great postings! I just wanted to share something that has bothered me for a few years now.
I am the biggest child of the 80's. I LOVE U2, Inxs, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode. You name it. But INXS and U2 have been my ultimate favourtie. *My parents listened to them all the time also!!* I remember when U2 came to Toronto I FLIPPED OUT b/c I had never seen them, and when they came once before in '92 I was only 12 and tickets sold right out. They came back in '97 and my parents said the tix would be my b-day present. Right after I got U2 tickets, INXS announced a Toronto date and I was freaking out since my parents had spent so much on the U2 tickets. My mom said to me to go to U2 and enjoy it and that INXS would be back and I'd see them next time. This was October '97. The “ELEGANTLY WASTED” album was out and I LOOOVED it. I too thought “ok, next time, It's INXS I see” since they toured more regularly, whereas U2 toured every few years. Then...on November 22 I was lying in bed, and my mother came in with this shocked look on her face. (She too was a big Michael fan) and she sat down and said, “Michael Hutchence died...he was found dead in Sydney” I remember my heart sinking. I was in total shock. U know that shock where all you do is listen to the albums and look at his photos and just don't understand or can't believe it? I remember crying alone that night. Then, that thought that was in the back of my head came flooding out...“WHY DIDN'T I SEE THEM WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE????” I couldn't really beat myself up over it, b/c who would have thought THIS would happen, but it still bothered me. It bothered me I'd never hear his voice live, or see him dance again...or that his only little child was without her wonderful father. I felt awful for the bandmembers, for the fans and of course, the family. What a loss. To this day that memory still haunts me. That I never got to see them. Thats why last summer ('02) when they came I felt I owed them my support. To show them they can go on and still be amazing. Which they were!!! And the happiness on their faces made it all the more!!
To Sonali, I am sure you're uncle has found his happiness, and your little cousin will be stable with a wonderful cousin like u, and a new mother-figure. Remember, everything happens for a reason!!! Never forget that! Much love to Sonali, Nadia, Michelle & Alice and all the other WONDERFUL Michael fans!
I love u sweet Prince!! OXXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Lifes so strange when we are together that I feel like we are twins......

I wonder how Michael's family feel when they hear INXS now on the radio? It must be a bitter sweet emotion. For years after my brother's death (suicide)
I couldn't bear to even see home videos..it hurt to much to see him. Mike's family has to deal with worldwide hearing and seeing their beloved Michael and being reminded of their loss. Hugs to you all. I'd like you to know that his music still comforts me and I pray that Tiger is happy, sorry about Kell's passing. Blessings to you all. Love Mary

I love the weekends so many new & lovely messages to read!
I loved Staceys story it made me laugh. I can imagine Michaels cheeky grin “thats pretty cool music...” lol
“hi” back to the regulars
I was just thinking about Michael this morning & thinking how many people have tried to copy his style & I really cant think of any one that has come close. Michael is so unique & so outstanding that a LOT of people try to take a piece of him. There will only be one Michael Hutchence & I am thankful that he was here during my life time, I will never forget him & as long as this site is up & running, people will remember! & be totally taken with him, he is the loved one!
sweet dreams Tiger, You are so loved by your Daddy...I only know this because a picture tells a thousand words & the way your Dad looks at you in them you are loved a thousand times over. Being Michaels daughter you will also be loved by millions & be in their thoughts & hearts.
love & peace to the Family, Friends & fans

Every time I visit this website, I am so overwhelmed...every single time. Aidan, Michelle, Nadia, Monica, Alice, Kelli and all my other friends, thank you so much for all your lovely posts...they really have a healing effect on me...Mike is a part of my life that I discuss only with you all, bcause no one else would understand!! Its so comforting to come here and pour my heart out, and to KNOW that you all understand what I'm saying. Tomorrow is my uncle's wedding, and his first wife had died two years ago. Being here, with his little daughter, is just so...unsettling...this is just another reminder of how death can rip everythig apart. Looking at my little cousin remids me so much of Tiger Lily...I cant do anything but pray for both of them and hope they'll be happy. But most of all, I hope Michael is happy...“They can never, ever tear us apart...” God bless you all!!

“Don't ask me, what you know it true, don't have to tell you, I love your precious heart!” Isn't that the truth for all of us here??
Just thought I should add that. I am so in love to this day with Michael, now and 4ever!!!!!!

Much love to Nadia, Sonali, Alice & Shell!! XOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOX

sorry im from iowa,please forgive me

I've met Michael maybe 3 times, but the most dramatic was when INXS played at the Capital Centre in Landover, MD. I drank too much that night - it was the Kick tour - so I spent the night in the car. My friends went to the concert while I slept in the car. After the concert I was lucid enough to be aware we were moving. I sat on the door of the car moving -5mph. Lenny Kravits' bus drove by. We played INXS. Then, another bus came by and the window opened. Michael came out and said “that's pretty cool music you're playing”. I'm half out of the car, pretty sick because of my drinking but Michael gives me an “I see you, you see me” look and it made my day. The rest of the band piled out of the window. I remember this because we had them to ourselves until the traffic knew who we were talking to and then it became crowded.

I met the band 2 times before this.

What is the most touching is this: my mom found out Michael died before I did. I was working late that day and she left me a note to tell me, basically before I could find out on MTV. It was the most touching thing she could do for me.
She told me to let some balloons go for Michael. So I did. We never bonded in a way like we did after Michael's death. My mom (who's dead now) always appreciated by infatuations.
I lost my jacket that the band signed years ago. But I have a picture with my Dad on the top of the Twin Towers in NY when I'm wearing the jacket. So I have a memory of both which is a great thing.
I love you all,
Stacey

to let go of InXs is to let go of Michael THAT CANNOT HAPPEN!!
Support InXs...as well as for yourselves as for Tigerlily.. to do so is a good thing!

Hi everybody! I see that my message prompted some confessions from some of you. The reason why I talked about this divine(cause that's what is for me since I did't get the chance to see them live) experience that not all of us were so lucky because of different motives, is that recently I went to a concert of a famous artist(it was my first concert)whose name is not important since I cannot call myself a fan of his. Well, there's one thing I thought I realized which was that maybe I should have gone to the Inxs concert in 2001. As I wrote in one of my older messages I couldn't go through with the impulse as I considered myself a traitor and since I couldn't get the Real Thing, that is Michael, it wasn't worth it though at the same time I wanted to see Michael's band members and friends. I've had mixed feelings about this since it happened and a few days ago I thought I might have been wrong, but when I read today this girl's post who said she went and couldn't handle it, she had such a bad experience, well I'm sure that the very same thing would have happened to me had I gone . I would probably have left the concert in tears and even more heart broken than I am now! Can it get worse than this? I don't think so. I don't know what to do with all these mixed feelings, it is so powerful that it can destroy you if you're not careful. I was experiencing these feelings also with respect to Inxs' picking up with someone else. I was in such a shock, so angry though I loved them as they were a great part of Inxs.But for God's sake, whose voice did we hear on all these beautiful, amazing records?! Isn't it Michael's voice? There can be dozens of images of Michael during each concert they'll give but it's still a strange voice on the stage and no matter how much we try to imagine otherwise, Michael's very essence, his stage presence, nothing can be equalled nor substituted ! He remains in our hearts,minds and dreams for infinity! All my love to Aidan, Sonali, Nadia, Michelle and everyone who shares his/her feelings and is true to his/her heart!

Several weeks ago I thought: “INXS is no more without Mike!” Many of us feel the same.. But now my dream is to see them,cause anyway they are Andrew, Kirk, Jon, Tim, Garry - Michael's team,his friends,people who were with him for so many days,weeks, years,all his youth. Like every Kelland's message here was a great present,
every Ian's message or news from people who were connected with Michael, INXS concert'll be the same present - it is Michael,it's his memory,his legacy.
2 Julie - sure Michael is irreplaceable,unique one..
2 Michelle - you're absolutely right! I'm sure Mike is on stage with every INXS gig,& INXS need to go on - for their fans,for fan's kids.

All my love to the family,friends and sure to all devoted fans of Michael.
