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.

Since I'm the younger generation that never experienced INXS the time they were present the most I rarely found myself listening to INXS records. But recently I listened to “Beautiful Girl” and suddenly so many thoughts ran through my mind. I remembered the news, tellin' me Michael was dead and although I was never an INXS Fan it shocked me. Somehow he was a part of my life that was always present and suddenly this part got kind of ripped out of my, and million other lives. And the moment it's away you realize how much it has been present without ever been recognized intensively...
He had such a warm and special voice and somehow I regret that I never gave it that much attention as I do now.
This website helped me to get to know a little more about this wonderful guy who gave the world a wonderful music which's gonna remain in our ears for good...I hope my kids will appreciate his sounds as well as I do now...
My thoughts are with his family, esp. his gorgeous daugher, lil Tiger Lily, and I wish I could have a silent moment at his grave to remember Michael.
Since that's not possible to me, I'll remember him with every note he sings.
“Stay with me . . .”
Sincerely,
Jamie

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
Kelland, Susie, Patricia, The Late Paula Yates, Rhett, Jon Farriss, Tim Farriss, Andrew Farriss, Kirk Pengilly, Gary Beers and Tigerlily Hutchence and of course all the fans miss a genius of the twentieth century. I have paid homage to this legend (though knowing how human our “stars” are); by seeing the stone memorial at Northern Districts Crematorium at Chatswood, Sydney Australia. What a peaceful place it was and how the fans had visited to do the same as I had. When I was young I went to 3 INXS concerts at the Sydney Entertainment Centre over the years, every time they played. I still think that they are one of the best live acts to this day. Though I never met any of the members of INXS I respect the dignity and hushed voices to preserve Michael's memory.
Others have hounded Paula Yates and Michael over the years, particularly the paparazzi in London, when all that they neededed was peace.
Though no more lyrics shall be uttered by Michael, the legacy and the music lives on.
In spirit he does shine, till next time.

Amanda,
I just read your post and felt compelled to answer you. I completely understand about your “Michael moment”. I have had many myself. They usually occur when I am feeling upset or depressed. Some may call them coincidences, but I honestly don't believe that. I won't get into the details, but most are way too spiritual and eerie for them to just be coincidence. I truly believe that Michael is out there connecting with those of us who love, respect, and miss him. When the moments occur, they always bring a sense of peace that I really can't explain. Sounds crazy, I know, but I simply don't question it anymore. Michael, wherever you are, know that your star will always burn brightly in many of us. Peace!

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.
Michael's music helped me get through many a trying time....If you have any problems in you life, listen to his solo album. it is a brilliant mix of emotion and experience.

Hi,
I just felt the need to share this...I'm in college,and i was walking to class the other morning, listening to Elegantly Wasted at the time. I was just walking along, completely engulfed in Michaels voice, and thinking about everything that's been going on since school started,and thinking about how much I miss my best friend, and suddenly I felt as though I wasn't alone, I felt as if Michael were walking right there next to me...this calm feeling came over me, and instead of pouting, I began to smile...It was nice... 🙂
Thank you Michael!

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.

So beautiful. This site is exactly what we have all needed, it is as elegantly beautiful as our Michael. I miss him. His talent will never be equaled. The sweet honey of his voice will be around for many years to come, and when we hear his music, we will hear his life. The essence of Heaven. I love you Michael! God bless to Kell, Tiger Lily and the entire family. Our hearts are still with you; in ALL parts of the world.
XOXO,
DixieRose

I hope that you have found the place that makes you happy, the place you sought after but could never find.
RIP Michael Hutchence.
RIP Michael Hutchence.
He hadn't a dirty heart, but the full moon made him go away to where there are new sensations in every shining second. I saw him in 1993 in germany and it was great.
Congrats on your Live Time Award!!!!
Thank you for sharing family photos and private moments.
A dignified site. A place where some sad and nostalgic souls can find a moment of peace, while others might have to deal with the feeling of a cold, black stone in the chest.
It rains outside. And November is not far away. Love.

I really miss Michael but realize that
INXS is still one of my favorite bands. I have tried to get all their albums and when I see a INXS video it makes me smile.
Michael you're missed!
Love,

I have been a fan of INXS for years, stll am. I think tham Michale was the most amazing guy in the world of music at his time.
