MANY YEARS AGO I SAW MICHAEL PRESENTING AN AWARD IN AN AMERICAN MUSIC SHOW, THIS WAS WHEN HE FIRST SHAVED HIS HEAD. I CAN DISTINCTLY REMEMBER THE COMMENT THAT ONE OF THE FARIS BROTHERS MADE, HE SAID IN RESPONSE TO MICHAEL SHAVING HIS HEAD “I GUESS WE HAVE TO CUT UP OUR GOLD CARDS NOW” SO YOU SEE IT IS KIND OF PATHETIC THAT THE FARIS BROTHERS PLACED SO MUCH EMPHASIS OM MICHAELS IMAGE THAT MADE THE BAND POPULAR, BUT TO THIS DAY THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE AMOUNT OF INFLUENCE THAT MICHAEL HAD WITH MAKING THE BAND HUGE. THE FARIS BROTHERS DISCOUNT MICHAEL AS JUST ANOTHER SINGER THAT WILL PASS THROUGH THE INXS DOORS. WHAT THE FARI BROTHERS DONT REALISE IS THE NOBODY OUTSIDE OF AUSTRALIA KNOWS WHO THE FARIS BROTHERS ARE, INXS WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE MICHAEL, THE REMAINING MEMBERS ARE JUST VULTURES FEEDING OF WHAT MICHAEL LEFT BEHIND.
Thursday October 4th 2001 MuchMusic (Canada) had special on INXS. The remaining members advised the band will continue, indicating that in essence, the music is the same. Please note that I take exception to this, and the sonic quality was established with the characteritics of Michael Hutchence. The remaining members ought to consider changing their band name, so we do not confuse this “trademark” with their new sound, which of course is not a collective effort of the founding members. Without any disrespect, the remaining members of the band are not so musically inclined, or more specific - they are not so individually distinct, to provide any sense of similarity with the era with Michael, and the new era they embark. Michael was the voice and sound of INXS, and without him, there is no future of that band. It appears to be a business decision to continue with their recognized “brand name” than for the remaining musicians to make their own sound and contribution.

Lisa - your song is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Here's the song that makes me think of Michael now. It's a James Taylor song and I won't post the whole thing because it doesn't all apply but the chorus does so I will post it...
“I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again”
I do miss you, Michael. It all ended too soon.

As with most people, watching the ARIA's made me think of Michael a lot more these days. It is about time that INXS were inducted into the Hall Of Fame. It is sad that time passes so fast and we sometimes are too busy to remember people and events of recent years. It does not mean we have forgotten them and in this particular case, someone like Michael. Of course l didn't know him personally although like most Australians, l grew up with him and INXS. The ARIA's were a great tribute to all in the band. I bawled my eyes out. Although it did lead me to this site, which is beautifully set up to honour a much loved son, and in general a much loved person.
This song makes me think of you Dear Michael..
~Angel's Son~
Life is changing
I can't go on without you
Rearranging, I will be strong
I'll stand by you
(You were fighting everyday)
(So hard to hide the pain)
(I know you never said goodbye)
(I had so much left to say)
One last song
Given to an angel's son
As soon as you were gone
As soon as you were gone
I have a new life now
She lives through you
What can I do
I feel so alone now
I pray for you
We still love you
I can't believe you're gone
I can't believe
(written by LaJon Witherspoon/Clint Lowery)
I'll never forget you darling Michael.

The first time I heard his sweet, sexy voice I instantly fell in love. I have been a huge fan since the age of eight. The best night of my life was attending his concert on my 18th birthday. Feels like it was yesterday. My birthday wish was that after graduation Micheal and I would meet, fall in love, get married, have children and live happily everafter. Boy, was I a dreamer? I found out about his death while at work. I was devastated. I didn't want to believe it? Not Michael? To this day I still find it hard to believe he's gone and I miss him terribly. He will always be in my heart, thoughts and prayers. My condolances to the family and little Tiger Lily. God bless you Michael - My shining star forever!
When I heard of Michaels death it was just a comment on MTV. I could not find any more information and I was at a loss. I wanted to know why. Why he had to die. Did I do it? Did his fans love him too much? Did we leave him room to live and breathe or did we pull away everything he had? I guess I feel in a way responsible. So to try to attone for this I will try to live my life as he wanted to live his, with music and laughter and joy at lifes little things. Sunsets, rainbows,childrens birthdays and stormy nights included. I recently got my computer and I know more about how He died, but the Why still remains. I pray for those who loved him and I pray for the ones he loved as well. This site is truely beautiful and He would be proud I think. My condolances to you all. He was a beautiful and talented man.

Words can never express what I feel when I think of your son Michael. I have been a fan for a long time now. That will never change. If it is possible to love someone who you never met, I would be living proof. My best wishes to you and your family. He will never be forgotten.
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL WEBSITE DEDICATED TO YOUR SON MICHAEL IN WHICH IS STILL GREATLY MISSED BY MYSELF AND A GREAT NUMBER INXS FANS.GOD BLESS YOU MICHAEL...“HEAVEN ABOVE HAS BRIGHTER SHINNING STAR....”
I have visited this beautiful site now for a several times but I didn't sign the guestbook since today because I do not know how to express my feelings. I miss Michael so much! When I saw INXS for the last time with Michael in 1997 I never thought that this would be the last time.His death left an empty space in my heart. And I can only guess how his family and friends feel. I really hope that all these wonderful statements on this side help you with your unbelievible loss.
Love to all of you and especially to Kelland who gave us this site!!!

Never had the death of a rock star effected me the way Michael's passing did. To me he seemed so full of life and so happy. I guess that's the way I'll remember him most. His tragic passing is the end of an era but his memory lives on in video and recordings. I would not have wanted to have not known who he was. He was one of the rare ones. One of the great ones. He is missed greatly.
what a beautiful tribute to a beautiful person no one will ever replace micheal as a person and entertainer his voice was second to none.
Dear Kell
It's still so hard to believe that Michael's not around somewhere, but I can see from this website that he lives on in the lives of so many. He's often in my dreams and is always so vivid, so normal, as if he were here. Always enchanting. I love the pics of him as a boy. Thank you.

INXS and U2 are always my favorite bands and my life sound.I'm 26 y/o russian man,now living in USA...His death is unfair event,why good,talanted people always should leave the Earth first in this world ?! I totally accepted Him as musician,as personality,his style,his voice,his non-ordinary talant and endless energy he gave to all of us.
Thanks to everybody,Michael's family,all friends and just the real people with a real taste for making of such nicest websites,where we can share our thoughts and meet native souls.Michael forever lives into us,he is not disappered,he is not dead,he got a higher life level somewhere,according his traits and unique personality.

I might only be 17 now and only 13 when he tragically died, but i loved him,everything he did and everything he stood for. The world lost something special and I'll remember him forever. Thank you for such a beautiful dedication to him(the site)xxx
It is always sad when someone's life is cut short. A world without Michael is like cookies without milk. I'm sure he would want INXS to continue to rock on, even though he is not there. His voice was magical and his presence was awesome. I never saw him at a live concert, but will enjoy the music for the rest of my life.
Michael Hutchence was one of the best singers of all time. He is sadly missed, but his music will live on forever in every one of his fans' hearts.
Michael and Paula -- always in my thoughts and prayer. Bono's vocals on “Slide Away” are such a testimony to friendship. A lovely moment -- and then Michael's soaring voice. If you had to pick a last song for a vocalist of Michael's talent -- then this is the one. Rest in peace.
Everytime I listen to one of the many albums, I still find it hard to believe that Micheal's energy and emotion will no longer be included with the bandmates. Although, once I put on an album and listen to the music loud and I am dancing around and singing, he still continues to live in their songs.
Thank you INXS
God Bless!

recently,i have been totally engulfed with emotion and heartache again for the man i idolised all thru my childhood. i was 18 when michael died. and i still find it saddens me today. i read the auto biography recently and was shocked and put at ease by what a beautiful soul he was and still is. I saw inxs recently at the goodwill games closing ceremony and was blown away... still to this day my favourite rockers!!!
no one can replace him. He made me become a singer and start that very same dream and rollercoaster ride they did. they started before i was born... but i only remember every song imaginable.
michael, bless you forever. may your gift and heart never grow out of our world,we can all see you still in your beautiful daughter>
YOU STILL ROCK ON IN HEAVEN!!
REST IN ETERNAL PEACE
