All I can think of saying is that, I truly miss the presence of Michael in the music scene. And it's odd, a person I never met, only saw once in from afar yet I miss on a personal level. I could only have conversations with him through his music and lyrics. Yet those words I treasure in my heart and mind as if a close friend spoke them to me. Thank you Michael for your words of comfort, wisdom, happiness, and even sorrow. All of which have touched me deeply.
In memory of a beautiful soul. Inside and out you were so full of life. Only 5 short years ago your soul warmed the hearts of millions, and now that you're in another place your face and memories still do. Thank you for the words, music and grace. What a beautiful man. Missed sadly everyday by everyone. All of my love to Kelland, Patricia, Susie, Tina, Rhett and baby Tiger Lilly. May you all find peace and have a wonderful day in memory of Michael. Also, much love to Kirk, Tim, Andrew, Garry & Jon. Carry on boys and let INXS live forever! You're the best!
IN MEMORY OF MICHAEL OXOXOXOXOX GOD BLESS YOU WHERE EVER YOU ARE! 🙂

As I sit in front of this computer screen preparing for tomorrow night's show I can't help but think back to November 22nd, 1997. The time was around 10:25pm and I was just about to leave High Volume Music, (my place of business), after a long hard day of pushing cds like a dope man. The news was on and anchor Dave Ward at ABC 13 Houston was handed a sheet of paper and calmly announced the news. “This just in, superstar Michael Hutchence of the rock band INXS was found dead in his hotel room in Sydney.” I fell to the floor in utter disbelief. I called the then PGD rep, Randy Thomas at his home in Houston and he said he heard nothing of the news. I called radio station 104 KRBE to confirm and they knew nothing of it. I called my then girlfriend crying like a baby and told her Michael was dead. I turned to MTV and the news reports were coming in. I couldn't believe one of the greatest poets and voices in rock and roll had been silenced. It was true.
That was the first time in my short life that I could truly say I felt the pain of losing an entertainer that I “grew up” with. Of course Tupac had passed earlier that same year, but it didn't feel the same way for me. I didn't know much about Tupac and I certainly hadn't grown up listening to him. I was first exposed to INXS in the early 80's with there first American hit “The One Thing”. I had been hooked ever since that time. INXS actually released what would become my favorite album of 1984 “The Swing” which, believe it or not, I actually listened to more than “Purple Rain” by Prince and The Revolution which had been released that same year. INXS was the only band in my personal history whose fan club I joined.
Of course in later years many entertainers have passed away that I really feel and love including John Lee Hooker, Pops Staples, Aaliyah, Jam Master Jay and Left Eye among others. I've learned how to deal with death in the industry and it keeps me strong. I don't know if any entertainers death has affected me as much as Michael's, but I do know this, Friday night the light will shine as Collective Hallucination performs it's best and strongest show to date. The show will be dedicated to Michael and the other entertainers who have left those of us still living to carry on in their musical legacy. We Give Thanks...
We promise our best show and we hope those who join us will enjoy it.

Fame is vapour
Popularity is an accident
And the only earthly certainty is oblivion

You'll never be forgotten, Michael.
Much love to you and many prayers for little Tiger Lily.

Michael was such a beautiful person and I have loved and admired him for over 15 yrs. He has influenced me in so many ways and for that I am grateful. I travelled to Australia at the age of 16 just to meet him, and it was the best day of my life. I will never forget. He is missed. Love, Bridget

Dear Michael and Family,
It’s so had to believe that five years have passed. I will never forget the 22nd of November 1997, a wonderful soul left this planet to head for happiness, the happiness we all want for you Michael.
You and INXS are and will always be a true inspiration to me in my past, present and future and a day never goes by without you in it. Thank you for blessing us with everything you had, I would not be the person I am today if it wasn’t for you and INXS.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Tiger and your family.
I Love you dearly Michael.

No words can deeply express how much I cherish Michael. It's been five years without him and already the world seems to be getting smaller. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about him. All around my room there are pictures of Michael that I love to look at. Michael makes me feel so wonderful inside... His music, his lyrics... There is one particular song that reminds me of Michael, it is called “Kill the Pain” It was on there “Full Moon, Dirty Hearts” album. Maybe Michael was trying to tell us something. I cry everytime I hear that song. Michael is one of the most important person in my life and I could never forget him or his music. I always said my first born son is going to be named Michael K. just like Michael. He is my inspiration, he is my life, he is my everything. I will never forget you Michael Hutch for as long as I live. You are in my dreams every night, and I always picture you on stage, smiling, looking out to the world. Your world. I love you Michael. With all of my heart and soul. I would give anything just to see your beautiful smile, sharing your beautiful gift to the world. I miss you Michael. I always miss you. God has a you now, your such a wonderful angel. You are the light. You are the sun. You are the moon. You are Michael Hutchence. And no one could ever change that. You Shine Like It Does. And that is for an eternity. For always. Forever.
Mike - 5 years have passed since you left us but - you stay forever young -thinking of your family and friends and the band at this time.....
Love & Peace Always,
Kerry
Love & Peace Always,
Kerry
What a beautiful message, Dennis Ian Patterson wrote. It sums up my feelings so well. Its hard to express the profound effect Michael had on me. But I know others understand what I mean. There is a connection we share. God bless Michael's sweet soul, and God bless all of you who come here with your beautiful thoughts and memories and messages of love for Michael.

I've been having dreams about Michael for the last few nights. Then it hit me why... it's been 5 years.
We miss you, but you obviously live on in our hearts.
We miss you, but you obviously live on in our hearts.
Last night I was blessed to be sharing time with family and friends in my home. I put an INXS CD on and my little girl grabbed her purple hairbrush to “sing”...and then did what I could only call “a Michael move” as she danced around the room. Our jaws dropped in astonishment ...and then the room filled with laughter.
Michael, your spirit moves through us in times of great joy.

I can hardly believe it has been 5 years today. My thoughts are with Michael's family today, esp his beautiful daughter Tiger. I will be playing my INXS Cd's today and remembering one of the worlds greatest singers.
There are no words to express exactly how I feel after all this time.This day will forever remain as one of the saddest events in my life! I will always love MICHAEL HUTCHENCE and his astonishing , extraordinary legacy:his music, his divine voice!
Here is an excerpt from one of Michael's beautiful songs:
“All of the days we thought would come
All of the words we thought had gone
All of the pain and pleasure gone
Without you ...”
(“Flesh & blood”)
“I would catch you if I heard your call
..................................
And I would find you wings to fly
And I would catch you
I would catch your fall”
(“Slide away”)
Michael , you have forever touched my soul and listening to your wonderful, magical songs is and forever will be an extraordinary experience ! I love you and miss you enormeously !Rest in peace , Michael!

At this time of the year I always feel a certain loss, strange how someone you never had the chance to meet, could touch your life so much. I'm forever appreciative of you Michael, for sharing yourself with the rest of the world. Thank you, Mich

It's now five years since you sadly left us
They say that time heals the wounds
But it does not fill the void of emptiness
No one since can ever fill your place
They don't have your style, depth or grace
You were and always will be the most kindest gentle soul
We celebrate your life and we'll never let you grow old
You were a bottomless pit of emotion
To the ones you loved you were a picture of devotion
Your love for sweet Tiger is as deep as the ocean
You are the brightest star far above
Watching over her now with unbridled love
She has your best features that is true
Not just on the surface but deep inside
On through the following years she will glide
With your steadying spirit always by her side
We will always love you Michael now and forever
Your success in life was a fantastic endeavour
You gave more of yourself then anyone would expect
For that you have our unending respect
All we can pray, now you are in heaven above
Is that you are eternally surrounded by love
Sometime in the future, don't know when
We will be lucky enough to meet once again
Until then we will keep you within our hearts
For nothing will ever tear us apart
Always loved, always unpretentious
You always kept your feet firmly on the ground
You have a candle burning bright
That will shine all through the day and night
In memory of you, it shines like it does
Straight inside, it reaches our very souls
Your compassion has such a profound depth
It lingers still even though you now reside amongst the most beautiful of angels
Your legend lives on - Oh, sweet Michael
Never to be forgotten.....
Deepest love and respect always
Love & Peace
