To Mr. Kelland Hutchence and family,

I first heard of INXS from a good friend of mine's father when I was in high school. He was a bass player and had been touring in Australia with Eric Clapton. When he came home he told his son Jeff and I to keep our eyes out for this band because the singer had such a wonderful voice. Then I saw Michael...and I was like...voice? how about his looks? That was a long time ago...I kinda felt like I had been around since the beginning...I was listening to them way before any of my friends knew who INXS were.I am nearly forty now and I have a 9 year old son. I am so sorry for your loss. I grieved his death and I am only a fan...I hope I never know what it is like to lose my own son or mate. It has taken all of this time for me to even listen to any INXS. One of my favorite songs is “Beautiful Girl”. What a beautiful girl he has left to you in Tiger. I believe ya'll will see him again.

God Bless,
Shan

I find it hard to believe Michael is no longer here. The pain is still real.

I grew up on his music through the 80's and his voice brings memories, smiles and tears. I was weeping when I saw INXS playing again, but without Michael there. It doesn't seem right, and to me it never will.

My eldest son is the same age as Tiger...I hope she grows to know and understand what a talented and wonderful father she had. She resembles Michael so much; what a beautiful legacy he left.

Kelland, this is a wonderful website and I hope you have found solace and comfort in putting it together. I will treasure the memory of your son always and this website is a lovely tribute to him. Thank you.

I saw a performance in the very early eighties, at the Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide.I was with friends up on the balcony and I still can't believe what Michael did. While still holding the mic. and singing he climbed the huge stack of speakers facing the audience and continued climbing until he made his way onto the balcony just a few feet from us where he continued to sing his heart out.He had the magical ability to become one or merge with the audience. I havn't seen a performer so connected to his art as Michael.

As a parent l could not imagine what pain you all must be going through. Even though what Michael did was what l think a cop out to all that loved him especially his daughter tiger, he must have been in great pain himself. We have all got to learn to see the warning signs before it is to late and more life is wasted.

About once a week I wig out and listen to Elegantly Wasted and remember the night I spent with Michael and the band at the 4 seasons in Toronto Canada. We had a great time that sept 97' night . We allowed the band to cross the street on the way to try and meet David Bowie who was signing at a local radio station. Turns out we stop the car let the band cross and meet them in the bar of the hotel. I stick my head out the window and say “Hey see you in the bar” Michael replies “Thanks mate see you there” We had tix for the show that night and sat with the band at the bar. Michael was first to appear around 7pm and then followed by Kirk and Tim. We had one great time B4 the show and Michael ordered Sake then a vodka Gimlet. We all had Corona and lots to laugh about. After the show we met back and at the door the manager of the hotel ask me who invited me. My reply Michael of course. He checked with Michael and the manager returned apologetic and bought our drinks for us. Gary came to us at one point during the eve. we had girls all around us and said “ are you guys in the band” what a laugh. These guys were great and I had a one on one with Michael for a better part of the night. That guys touched my heart and talked to me for long periods of time not caring about who was in that room. He didn't have to and when I said that I may be taking too much of his time he said He loved the conversation with someone well versed in his lyrics and writing. I miss him everyday. Darren Dempsey

Not as familiar as my children with Michael' music, but however, as a parent I can understand your grief. What you have done here is a wonderful thing as the memory of your son will live forever, not only in your heart, but in the hearts of everyone else who loved him.

I think this website is a loving tribute to a person who touched a lot of people whether he knew it or not. Reading the eulogies I feel that it's too bad I never knew him. My heart goes out to his family & friends. He will be missed as a son, brother, friend, father, & entertainer.

Michael,

Four years have gone by since you left us,and I can't say that I have gotten used to the idea yet. You are with me everyday through your music helping me cope in sadness, and celebrate in happiness. Because of you I learned to “hear that sound”, and that “some days I am everything I hate.” Thank you! I pray for you and your loved ones, and hope that you're in a happier place. Peace (as you always said).

Dear Michael,

just over four years has passed since you were taken away from us. It saddens me even more under the circumstances of your passing. I think about you everyday, and i pray for Tiger and your family. But i know you are up there with Paula looking down at everyone, looking after them. I also hope you were a Beatles fan..please look after George Harrison who passed on yesterday (30/11/01). I miss you beautiful face, beautiful voice and beautiful soul. Love always,

Emma

It is hard to believe that it has been 4 years since we all heard the awful news about Michael. I still can't believe he's gone but He will remain in our hearts now and forever.
