I just attended a national conference on suicide as part of my work. It is amazing to think of all the factors that come in to play when someone takes their own life.
One conference speaker -- whose son ended his life said that it was important to think of your loved one in happier times. It may seem like an obvious thing to say but I suppose we all have a tendency to obsess about what we could have done to stop a relative from becoming suicidal.
May Michael rest in peace. There is no blame or shame only sadness. Celebrate his life.

eternamente michael estara en nuestros corazones,eternamente te amaremos.
My thoughts are with Michael, Paula and little Tiger as Paula's first anniversary draws near. May she rest in peace.
Michael still is strong in my memory and I know he always will be, I admired the way he always had a smile for people and never ever got to big to talk to anyone.I believe that he had a big heart and now he is making people smile in heaven. Thank you Michael for the wonderful music you left behind for us. And to Mr K Hutchence I hope your pain is eased slightly knowing that your boy touched so many hearts across the world....JN NY USA
my friend and i have been fans of inxs since around 1982. we've travelled far and wide to see inxs countless times and were lucky enough to see them (front row!) in boston 2 months before michael died. i've just now started to listen to their music again but not without many tears. for a long time i couldn't even think about listening to his voice. we both miss him greatly.
not a day goes by when i don't think of michael.Imiss him like iknew him,i wish i had met him he would of been a great friend to have.Michael will always live on inside my heart.R.I.P. MICHAEL,miss you forever see you in heaven.

I have been an INXS fan since 1987, but have only just found this website, which I think is a wonderful tribute.
I still get very upset when I think of Michael, the man who adorned my bedroom walls for many years.
A very sad loss. I was also very upset about Paula.
My heart goes out to Tiger. An absolute tragedy that you have to grow up without your Mummy & Daddy. They loved you very much.

Michael you are missed. So sad that nobody was there for you in your darkest moments
Today as I gaze out of my kitchen window I see my Iris's are starting to flower. Miss you......
since i was a kid - i love inxs now i'm 27 still enyoing the music sang by michael who was my fave singer during the 80's .. so sad he died at at very young age.. don't worry i'll pray for his soul & may PEACE be with him forever.. i know his happy where he is.. we'll surely miss him.. we lost a GREAT artist which we loved dearly..
I just want to say that I'm very impressend by this memorial site.Just saw a concert of INXS on tv and this brought back such good memories. Michaels voice, the way he moved,his songs,the music,he had such a big charisma.I was lucky to visit a concert years ago, I was so impressed.
And reading your words I know he was a great person in his personal life too. It's so sad the world had to loose him way to early.

I was just 14 when Michael first came into my life. I was just being born when he was already 12 years old.
I remember the year well. It was 1984. MTV played an INXS video and I was instantly hooked.
What developed in the years following was admiration, respect, adoration, and love.
I found out from my ex-husband of Michaels passing. I won't ever forget that day either.
I have never screamed like that in my life. I cried and cried for weeks. Then I slipped into denial. Denial that he was really gone.
Sadly this denial also kept me from his music. If I listened to his voice I knew he was gone.
Now nearly four years after I am facing the grief. Facing the fact that he is gone but it isn't easy and the hurt is bad.
I loved you Michael. I was fourteen and I was being abused by my father. You were there, you kept me grounded, you helped me to stay alive. I love you... Always.

Thank you for the wonderful memories Mike, still think about you alot and miss you deeply. xoxox
I am 19 years of age. I love music. I re-discovered INXS about 1 year ago. I love their music. I also caught the episode of Behind the Music about Michael, it brought tears to my eyes. I also have the song “Slide Away”, I can honestly say, that song means alot to me. I totally feel it. I think sometimes, I would have loved to have met Michael or just saw him perform. I am buying his solo album no doubt about that. I think about him a lot. I don't know why. I guess it is just so mysterious. No matter what, his music is always in my heart and mind, and I am young, and I vow to spread his thoughts. My love...Adam J. Nowaczyk
I really enjoyed the photos in the web site, it is great to see Michael is remembered as he was a wonderful musician and still remains my favorite rock star.
First, the easy part, this memorial is simply breathtaking. The love here is endless. I thank all who had anything to do with it's development, and especially to Micheal's family for allowing him to continue to touch us all.
Now, the hard part. I never met Micheal, and I never had the fortune to see INXS live, but even still, they touched me deeply. I ahve countless hours of audio and video and still take great joy in the music. I cried when I heard the terrible news. And I didn't believe it. I had to call a freind, who is a DJ to confirm it for myself. When VH1 aired the Behind the Music special, I taped it and didn't watch it for months, andeven then it took many tries before I could get thru the whole thing.
I know I am not alone. I know Micheal touched many many people. There is comfort in groups.
Thanx to everyone who knows.....
with much affection, Angel

Michael, you are the one in my heart.Wherever you are now, my thoughts are with you.Rest in peace.
This website makes me very sad . It's so beautiful. I was Michael's 1st American friend ,thanks to Atlantic Records asking me to show INXS the sites of nyc. I would love to talk to you , I have so many beautiful photos, backstage and on, I was their American photographer.In my 22 year r&r photo career I photographed many rockstars, Michael remains one of the dearest to me (he was also one of the first in my career to bond with. The last time they toured, Gary G. got me passes and the stupid doorman wouldn't let me backstage until Michael had gone onto the tour bus so I only saw Tim and Garry, I always feel if I had only seen him, maybe I could have made a difference. Please tell Gary Grant I say hello. I would love to contribute to the book if it's not too late. All the best, Robin
I played “Slide Away” as I went through the many pictures, thoughts, poems etc. What a breath taking, emotional tribute to such a magical, creative man. I grew up listening to INXS, always intrigued by Michaels voice. It did and still does pull you in.......thank you for sharing his life, pictures and memories with the fans. Know that one day you will be with him again.
INXS is everything. michael too.
