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.

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

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

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

INXS is everything. michael too.

My dearest friend:
God wanted by his side, but what could we do, an incredible human being deserved to be in the best place.

Sweet dreams my beloved friend,
Before we meet us again, I have to practice all the things I learned from you.

I know you are all around us

See you Michael, sweet dreams.

I can't believe how choked up I am at this moment time has not healed my sorrow. I knew from the first time I saw INXS on the telly what a great group this was going to be and my dream of seeing the band in 1986 had come true. Imagine my surprise when I have front row center seats (which I never sat down) Michael handed me some roses that someone else had thrown at the stage. I was so close to him I didn't mind his spit falling on my face. I miss the energy that came from this amazing person. Thanks to the family for doing this for us who still feel the sadness.

Still have not been able to come to terms with the fact Micheal has gone.He will still live in my heart through the memories of the times i saw inxs live in concert or through television apperances, the music is the greatest legacy he left for me i feel close like he is still in world phiscally when i hear all the great music they made. They were for me the best band in the world, my greatest regret now is i never had chance to meet Micheal that was a goal of mine in life i know that is now not possible, but i know live with that thought it tears me up daily even now in 2001. Went through a dark period in my life during the end of 1997 after his death, Micheal memory kept me strong i know he would not want me to do anything stupid. But now inxs are creeping back on the scene i feel the dark period being reopened and bono writing that song on thier new album for Mike, feeling low again due to the fact i miss Mike and inxs to rawist part of all my emotions. Thanks Kelland Mikes dad for giving me the opportunity to get this out in writing i feel the pressure releasing itself. MISS YOU MICHEAL I WILL SEE YOU HEAVEN WHERE WE WILL FINALLY GET TO MEET PEACE.

Every now and again, I come back here and find solace in the beauty of this website. I love that Kell has created this wonderful place for us all to gather and remember. Not a day goes by that I don't wish Michael was still on Earth with us. But, we do have the music and the pictures, and that is something. Kell, thank you for keeping it all available to those who love Michael so much. You have a wonderful and giving heart to share this site and your pictures with fans all over the world. Congratulations on having such a beautiful little granddaughter, Tiger Lily, and for letting us all see her grow! Peace.

On Nov. 21, 1997 I was in the hospital giving birth to my first child Erika. It was one of the happies moments of my life. Then to find out the next day that Michael was gone, it broke my heart. I couldn't believe I could go from such utter joy one day, to such despair the next. I have been an INXS fan for many years and I still am. I can't explain how Michael's death affected me. I felt as if one of my best friends had died. I still cry to this day, especially when I listen to the music and hear his beautiful voice. I can not express enough sympathy to his family. This web site is a beautiful way to remember him. Wherever you are Michael, I hope you are at peace.

Excellent site. Loved Michael's music. Still very hard to believe he has moved on. I'm glad your site was born to keep the rumor-mongers at bay. It must have been very dissappointing to them.

I was emailed this website by a music loving friend. i am touched and moved by your memories.

may he rest in peace.
