INXS and especially Michael have been such a large part of my life .I don't think there are words to explain how much we loved and admired him . and so sad to think that he's actually gone . but i believe he's still around, everywhere with immortal voice . and still i feel . it's such a strange thing to love someone you haven't met. Many people don't understand it . but i just wanna say i'll never forget u michael .plsssssssss come back

really i m so sad .............

I've listened to Michael and INXS's music on three continents; in times of war, peace, happiness, saddness, and near death with my cancer.

The lyrics (especially the ballads) make sense to me when I am happy or sad, and give me some awareness, as if Michael were the big brother I never had, and watches out for me.

With U2's “Stuck In A Moment ...” I felt compelled to listen, even though I now rarely listen to music now -- and I've come to find out that U2 wrote it about Michael.

For a man that holds in emotion and pain for the benefit of others, Michael and INXS have allowed me an outlet in my writing, and expressing my grief through the real life characters I put down on paper.

I suppose one day I will cry, thanks to Michael and his talents.

Godspeed Michael.

Michael will never be forgotten, he will always be with us as long as we remember him. Although every one saw him differently, us INXS fans who saw him as the worlds greatest singer, to his family and friends who also had the privilege to see the kind and caring person behind the music. One thing we all see exactly the same through all of our eyes is that he was a wonderful man, one of a kind, and shall forever be deeply missed by one and all as the world will never be the same again. I wish the best for his family and friends in getting through life having suffered such a great loss, and wish to remind them Michael will always be with every one of them, all they need to do is close their eyes and remember his voice, his laughter, all the good times, and you'll feel it in your heart, you link with him that nothing in this world could ever break.

I have never stopped being a fan of INXS. When I heard about Michael, I thought the girl was teasing me, just to see me get all upset for nothing cuz she knew that I always listened to INXS. I called someone to tell them to tune to MTV and find out. Sure enough, Michael was gone. His voice will never die. I and all you others will keep him alive. Tiger will always know who he was and that he was a very loved person. I sure miss Michael and INXS. God is being blessed now, for he has Michael signing for him now! God Bless You Michael! You will never die in me!

Used to hang out with the band in the 80's when they were in Britain. Was in New Zealand when I heard about Michael and was deeply saddened.

Will always remember him with fondest memories - he was such a great guy if you took the time to get under the surface.

RIP Michael

I was a huge fan of Michael and INXS during high school and college. I want to thank you for this web site that shows what a beautiful person Michael was. Everytime I hear a INXS song on the radio I turn it up and listen as a tribute to Michael. I am sure Michael is in heaven singing to all the angels. God Bless!

I was an INXS fan during my teenage years...Don't Change was my first and forever favorite of INXS songs.

My husband and I are considering using “Never Tear Us Apart” for our wedding reception.

This site is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Like many others, I was in disbelief over Michael's passing but this page shares so much. Thank you for the personal touches, including the funeral pieces. It was most moving.

God Bless You.

I really enjoy this sight. I was absolutely devastated when Michael left us. It's only been in the last year that I've been able to listen to his music without getting upset, and even now I don't sit comfortably with Never Tear Us Apart. Michael and INXS had such a huge impact on me, it makes for a tough time for my boyfriends over the years when I have Michael as a yard stick!! My mental telepathy to Michael seemed to have almost worked...just wrong Paula hehehe. I would love to pluck up the courage to come to one of the parties you have on his anniversary, maybe next time. I would also enjoy seeing some updated pics of Tiger too, time goes so quickly, she would look completely grown up compared to the pics on this site. Thanks.

Hello, it's been a few months since I signed the guestbook. I enter today because Michael's birthday is close, (a very special date for me which I'll never forget. I was born on June, 1960, Michael in January, the very same year! I feel privileged of being a contemporary person to Michael. My daughter's birthday is January 20, almost the same day as Michael's! Too much coincidence. Anyway, for these and for other good reasons: Michael baby, wherever you are, happy birthday!!! I'll try to be a better person every day to see my dear ones in Heaven when my time comes, and among them certainly you are. Meantime, please Mike, be my guardian angel!

4 years has gone, and still we feel that we miss Michael just as much as we did when he no longer could go on. But still, I feel that the song We Are Thrown Together on INXS last album Elegantly Wasted speaks for itself, in the end when Michael sings:- Won't you take my hand, it feels like this was a sign that Michael wanted to feel free. I still remember the last interview with Michael, I still wish that if there was anything we could had done to make him stay, we whould all support him as much as possible battling his drugs problems. I'm sure that his family did, but still, he didn't deserve to die. But let's not cry too many tears, he is resting now peacfully and his spirit will be with us all forever.

Lots of love from

Daniel

I think it's neat that my 2 favorite band singers were friends - INXS and U2. Michael & Bono seem like such deep, deep people (I suppose I am too). I can't wait to meet them in heaven (if not here for Bono). Such a deep spiritual root in their songs - truly a gift - It heals us & lifts us higher - Michael's music is still inspiring people! The gift continues. My 4y.o. daughter knows that Michael sings the song about the stars that shine above you, kiss you every night. God bless and look after Tiger & Michael's family & close friends - Amen

Mr. Hutchence,

Thank you for this website. It is such a loving tribute to Michael. As a teen in the eighties I loved Michael and INXS. This site shows who Michael truly was and makes him more real and less of a rock icon. As a parent, I cannot imagine the loss of my beloved child. May God be with you, as I know there will always be a sadness there.

I have just finished reading “ Just a Man”, and it really has made me appreciate Michael's life, music and INXS, so much more. This is a wonderful website, and I'm sure Michael would be very proud of the work you have put into it!

Words can't say what I'd like to say but I hope my posting on this beautiful memorial website, says something.

I never had the pleasure of seeing Inxs live and when I did I passed it up. Something I will truly regret forever. But what I do remember is growing up having the boys plastered all over my room and their artful sounds filling my house and heart.

It's only after being asked to do an Aussie Quizz for Australia Day that I found this wonderful page full of love and inspiration.

That is why I came here today, and still the tears surface and the lumps in my throat form.

Michael was and still is a great Artist of Australia and a great Son of our land.

My sympathies to Michael's family, friends and associates.

Great people come and go, but memories still remain....

These are the lyrics of the U2 song dedicated to Michael.

STUCK IN A MOMENT
--------------------------------

I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and
now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment and
you can't get out of it

I will not forsake, the colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing

I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears,
and through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool to worry like you do
I know it's tough, and you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now...
my oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
Oh love look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment and
you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep...
I wasn't jumping... for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and
you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment and
you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass

I was delighted to see that the U2 song “Stuck in a moment” has been nominated for a Grammy award.

The song is dedicated to Michael. Basically, it is the conversation Bono would have liked to have had with Michael in the hours before his death.

It is great to see that this tribute to friendship is being honoured in such a way.

Thoughts and prayers are with Michael, Paula and baby Tiger as we enter 2002. May Tiger blossom in to a lovely young woman.

I recently read the “Just a Man” book and was saddened by certain chapters. Obviously Patricia and Tina feel a loss but I don't think destroying Paula's memory or insulting Rhett or Kelland is the way to go about honouring Michael.

Then again everyone grieves differently and far be it from me to judge them. Just to say that I felt a little sorry for Mr Kelland Hutchence and his son Rhett by the time I finished reading it.

Rhett in particularly seems to have been portrayed in a far from flattering manner.

However, Rhett still comes across as being a exuberant, larger than life character. It can't have been easy living as a rock stars younger brother. But I am sure his wit made up for it!

Congratulations on the website and best wishes for the future.
