How do you express sadness & joy simultaneously? This is how I feel. Immense sadness at the loss of such a talented and caring person (though I never met him, it is obvious from the writings of those who did, what a special character he was). Then at the same time all I need to do is put on my favourite INXS CD and soar with the music; feel the spirit he breathed into the music that he created with Andrew and the other guys of INXS. It is a joy.

I often wonder why Michael left us, as I am sure many fans do. I catch myself sometimes being annoyed at Michael for leaving, especially Tiger-Lily, as I have a son the same age; but then I realise I am in a different world & perspective to what he was then. I have to let go & just accept this, albeit with so much regret.

I would implore people to stop buying trashy “women's” magazines as a protest against the paparrazi, whos vulture-like mentality and unrelenting pursuit of a “scoop” have contributed to people's unhappiness and death. (include Lady Di here too). I also hope that Tiger-Lily is kept well out of the spotlight as she grows up in the love of her family. The last thing she needs is the media chasing her around reporting on every aspect of her life. Boycott these mags if you see her picture please, unless it is an official story that has been sanctioned by her family.

Well, that's my rant for tonight - thanks for reading if you're still with me.

I pray for the souls of Michael and Paula.

Love & Peace be with you all.

I challenge anyone to visit this site without feeling the stinging of tears in there eyes, thank you Kell for sharing your experiences with those of us not fortunate enough to have known Michael. But Michael had that gift of being able touch millions of people through his music/lyrics, I wish i could have given something back to him.I'm sure he realised how much he helped people in what he and InXS have achieved. I can't sum it up in words, just thanks for being there when i needed something to keep me going. I will think of you, Michael everyday and will enjoy life to the full the way you would be if you were here now. See you in Heaven, Hutch.Love to beautiful Tiger,who is the the safe hands of a true Saint - Bob Geldof- you'll always have a friend in me. Thanks again Kell, you've blessed millions with this site.

LEGEND NEVER DIES.

incredible pages.

Michael*s fan from BOSNIA

It was the extended club mix version of “New Sensation”, the very first record I'd ever spun in a nightclub...I was eighteen years old.

I was the first DJ to debut it at that club and that moment of MY first song debut as a DJ is forever a moment I will cherish.

Since “The One Thing” I've consumed the music of Michael and INXS. After seeing Michael's mystical on-camera performances in videos like “Need You Tonight” and “Never Tear Us Apart”, I wanted to BE Michael Hutchence.

After the masses had ventured on to new groups and grunge was rearing its ugly head, I happily felt like I'd become a member of a more exclusive club as a true fan of the group, continuing to follow Michael and the guys through every journey they decided to embark on with each new album release.

I was fortunate to be granted an interview with Gary (GREAT guy, thanks again Gary) on their “Full Moon, Dirty Hearts” tour. During that show I was able to photograph the band (especially Michael) up close. I will never forget that experience.

On July 22nd, 1997 I was the only authorized photographer at the INXS show at the Paramount Theater in Denver Colorado. It was the last show of their “Elegantly Wasted” U.S. tour. I was lucky enough to capture Michael in black & white and color. The only shots of Michael's last U.S. performance are now framed in my home.

I remember where I was when I heard it...it came over the radio as breaking news on Alice 106FM in Denver on a snowy November night. I was driving and had to pull over when it finally hit me. “God no...please God no” were the only words I could utter through tears. The man whose words and voice could put me in a better mood, no matter how bad life was; the man who I could sing with and sound almost exactly alike; my idol... my “Elvis” and the first superstar I'd ever photographed ...was gone.

Every 22nd of November is a tough day for me. I listen to INXS - “Live Baby Live” (live album) for most of the day and flip through my photos of him and the band...and I miss him.

Thank you Michael for your gift to me and the rest of the world. You will always be my Elvis...Elegant - but not wasted, for your voice lives forever.

what a talented man! i find this bizarre as i dont even know him but i honestly think about him often....he had the best voice i have ever heard and the way he entertained his fans was magical

i was gambling yesterday at my local club and losing money, i changed poker machines and started playing a rock n roll theme machine and said to myself, come on michael hutchence i need a break here and put my bet up to two dollars a pop, then i got free games and free games four more times in those free games, i was loving it and won $550 dollars. thanks michael i know you helped me out. hi to rhett and kell and thanks for this site.

I truly loved INXS and do to this day, Unfortunatly this type of news scatters by in today society. I first heard of his passing just a month ago and could not believe it. Well my thoughts and prayers go out to you, the Hutchence family, and especially Tiger Lily as I have a 3 year old son and work that 9 to 5 job so that I can come home to him every night. I truly adored Michael for is talent and have sung along with his lyrics. Peace and god be with you always.

hey

it has nearly been 4 years...FAROUT

i wonder if little tiger when she is my age 15 come to australia and other places to talk to people to find out more about her father life?

michael was a really great performer and im glad my mother can tell me the stories that her and michael shared.

we grew up with michael, at the local pubs, cronulla workers club, heathcote oval, sylvania, endeavour, with the chisels......miss u micheal

kell, we love him as you do, he was our family growing up...and we haave grown up i think...u would understand michael,miss you so much,...life without you is like a surfboard without a leg rope..is just not right..is something missing.....you are loved always from people aat the nulla(cronulla) love you always

Just wanted to tell you that I still miss you today like every other day.

Time hasn't healed my pain, will it?

Wish you were here with us.

All my Love...........

I don't know why I keep coming back here...it always makes me cry.

Michael, I still miss you but I have wonderful memories recorded on tape to watch you again and again in all your glory. I recently asked Simon LeBon about the song he wrote for you. I never expected him to even answer and when he did his answer made me sad. I know he misses you, too. We ALL miss you. They say time heals all but I don't think that's true. There are a lot of things about 11/22/97 I will never understand. But they can't take the memories of you away from me. I only wish you were here now so we could see what new music you might have given us. I thank you everyday for the music you did give us and left us with. Music is a great healer for me.

Whenever I look into the sky at night and see a shining star, I wonder if that is you looking down on us and smiling. I hope where ever you are you are happy. And at peace. And knowing that all of us you left behind still miss you. And love you.

I hope that you have found the place that makes you happy, the place you sought after but could never find.

RIP Michael Hutchence.
