I was always, and still am, a big fan of Michael and INXS. I was in Melbourne visiting my mum when I heard the news. I couldn't believe it. It just shocked me. I remember thinking “how on earth could such an icon just quietly exit the world?” I still think about it. Could anyone tell me where his grave is as I would like to visit it. Even though he is gone, his memory lives on. He was a passionate, warm, gentle and charismatic creature who touched the lives of everyone who had the pleasure of meeting him. To Kell, Rhett and the band, I am sorry for your loss.

I was working 5 minutes away from where they found Michaels body. I heard the ambulance. So, so sad.
Dear Kell,
How is Tiger-Lilly? I hope she is doing well. I feel for the poor little thing. Can we have up dates on how she is going? Nothing to personal as I don't want to invade her privacy.
I hope your family is all well.

In my thoughts and prayers always.
Searching---what a soul-I am so sorry to lose someone I had so much hope for-I am wishing the best to Michael's family and loved ones and will always love listening to Hutch's voice and wonderful lyrics---'Wish we could have him back, we really needed what he had to give the world, which in my lil opinion, seemed to be great expression and love. peace
I'm thankful for Michael's soulful voice and lyrics--I really believe he was becoming his most mature and that it was not an intended suicide, no matter what the circumstances- Wish I could be the female “Hutch” and feel so for his family and friends--
I visit here regularly to remember Michael. I love to read everyones thoughts filled with love and admiration for our brilliant friend.Your spirit is always with me....missing you lotsa baby xxxx
Oh how we loved you ... those eyes, that stare, that voice, just you. The moment you left - the songs made my heart beat just that much faster.
Tiger has the eyes. RIP.

I've read all the books written about Michael since his death, and followed all the publicity through the paper's and magazines. It has been a very sad saga. I particularly felt very much for Kell and Patricia losing their son and the events that unfolded from Michael's death. I'm so glad that Kell was able to visit Tigerlily in London last year, and I'm sure she will grow up happy and well-adjusted as she is surrounded by so many people who love and care for her.
I wish all of Michael's family the best and thank you Kell for organising your friends to develop this memorial website on Michael.
Take care
Monique

Thank you.

You are da bomb!!!!
I am not familiar with Michael Hutchence's music probably because of the generation gap - my adult sons are much more likely to be au fait with his work. I would just like to say that on holiday recently, I had the opportunity to read 'Just a Man'. It is a very appropriate title for a biography of a star who was a very special person and like all of us he had his human frailties. I can follow other people's admiration and respect for him by viewing the guestbook. His loss to the family was obviously overwhelming. The subsequent unsettling consequences compounded the distress to his closest family. We can all understand that. All I can add is to wish all the family in Australia and California, better times in the future.
I have just finished reading 'Just a Man'. Very cool story. I hope you have all sorted things out and Tiger's best interest has been thought of.
After Bono, Michael was my 2nd Rock Idol ever. I had the pleasure of spending around 20 minutes with him over a drink approximately 5 months before he passed away and found him to be open, very friendly, appreciative and willing to discuss almost anything...he was a brilliant man. Remember, he may be gone, but the words and music he wrote and created with INXS, MAX Q and of course the solo music recorded just before his passing will always be with us. My thoughts and best wishes go to his family and especially little Tiger....peace & love...Neil
I hope , and i know you do, how much michael meant to me. he is probably one of the greatest singers i will have the chance to listen to...bless his tender heart....He will be missed!
I think this is a wonderful site and I am glad this has been put together by his family to honor a truly great man. I really don't know what to say to keep this short. I have been listening to INXS since I was in 8th grade (1988) and they have remained my all-time favorite band since. I remember hearing the news of the tradgedy on the radio a few years back, while I was at work. I would like to extend my sincere condolences to the family at this time.
To whoever reads this, I would just like for it to be known that I feel a great loss has been had by the passing of Michael. Of all the music in this world that I have heard and had compassion for, none has touched me or made me get to my feet and dance around like the music that INXS produced. I believe that certain special people are put on this earth for only a short time to accomplish a mission. I believe a great mission had been accomplished by Michael and his band. Their music and their love for the music shall shine on for as long as there are ears for it to touch. I know for myself that there is a very special place in my soul that this light will never be extinguished.
To Michael: Thank you for your compassion for music and for touching my soul the way no other band ever has or ever will. May you rest in peace.

I have just returned from my first (but hopefully not last) visit to the great city of Sydney, Australia. I want you to know that Michael's warm presence was definately there and I felt his peaceful spirit on many occasions.
During my stay I took a few little journeys that were very positive:
the Memorial Gardens are lovely and I was glad I went (I left some Tiger Lillies by the way). The sandstone was so pretty and appropriate and the setting is breathtakingly beautiful. I also had the moving experiences of visiting St. Andrews which is so beautiful and elegant in the midst of all the chaos of the city...very much like Michael...and sitting on Milk beach on a misty morning looking out at Rose Bay which was very tranquil and peaceful.
“Your” city is so special and I was sad at times to think that he will not be there again physically to enjoy the splendor of that magestic harbour or the serenity of the bushland...but, as I said, in some way I felt he really is there and his spirit will never die.
As always, my best thoughts are with his family and all you have done to keep his fans connected.

Michael Hutchence forced us 'regular' people to reconsider. Why be normal, when you can be truth and beauty and life?
Why, then, did we lose such a treasure? He has been taken out of that gilded cage and set free...

I have finally gathered some of my pictures in my collection and put them up on a web site for Michael if anyone would like to look at them.

Michael I miss you and I will never forget you. Your voice is medicine and therapy to me now as I battle a chronic illness and I want you to know you make it easier. I wish you were still here too give us new music or I wish the unreleased music that you left could be packaged and given to us somehow. Your music was your greatest gift and it should continue as long as possible.
