Well, sooner or later everybody will die, but it is better later!

I have never felt a deeper grief except when my mother passed away.I listen to the Greatest Hits CD often and it always heartbroke that a talented and pure Superstar has passed away.The world will be without a true genius.

I am 12, and that can prove that Michael had fans of all ages. I only got to know Michael and his music through his death. My father, Dennis Ian Patterson who helped create this site, spread Michaels ashes and has become great friends with Kell. We will all miss Michael, no doubt, but life must go on.

I miss Michael and INXS (as a whole) everyday. The first time I heard INXS was in the early 80's and it changed my life forever. It's very hard now to listen to INXS or Michael without my heart sinking and wishing he was still here. The world has lost a unique and charismatic individual. My heart goes out to his family.

This is the first time I have visited this site. I was at the last concert INXS performed in Scotland (excluding King Tut's). It was the Barrowlands, where else ... and I thought Michael was fantastic and looked better than he had ever in recent times, sexier and more confident and even relaxed. It was like a greatest hits tour where everything was given to the full, by all of the band, all of the concert. I even landed a Farris plectrum, which I still treasure.

Following Michael's death and all the questions, I received a copy of the Order of Service from his funeral from an Aussie girl who worked with me as a temp and had been there. I videotaped the funeral on TV and although it might seem morbid, I felt it allowed me to grieve for a 'soulmate' which I felt I was, along with all his fans.

Incidentally, I was prompted to look for this site after seeing the media coverage on the development of Tiger with her sisters and Bob Geldolf. I think Michael's family should be proud of how she looks and how Bob has is bringing her up to be a normal, happy and balanced child. He is doing a fantastic job! Never tear them apart!

It's been a while since Mike has left us and although I never had the pleasure of meeting him, I still find myself crying often. I have been a huge INXS fan since the first time I heard them in high school. A friend of mine and I were dissing each others favorite bands. She was dissing Prince and I was dissing INXS. I gave her a copy of Princes' “1999” and she gave me a copy of “Shabooh Shoobah” and we both have been hooked on each other's favorites since then. I never missed an INXS concert in Houston or Dallas. I never missed a television appearance. I still watch my copy of The Arsenio Hall show when the band played “What You Need”.

This is the first time in my short 33 years an entertainer has left us and I felt such a great loss. I didn't even mourn when 2-Pac and Biggie died. But when Michael left us, I never stopped crying. I am fighting back tears right now as I type this. When I first got the news I was actually leaving work and the television was on the local news show. They interrupted the news and mentioned the tragedy. I was in a state of shock and I immediately turned to MTV and they hadn't reported it at the time. I thought maybe I was dreaming, so I called a label rep who I knew that worked with the label and he said he heard no such thing. When the realization came to me that it was true, I could not work for three days. I own my own business, (a music store), and I closed it for two days. The third day my fiance'worked for me. Not a day has gone by since 1983 where I haven't listened to an INXS song. My band and I have been playing INXS songs for years when we do shows,including a Spanish , unplugged version of “Shine Like It Does”. I love Mike so much, it really felt like I lost a long distance brother.

I have turned a number of folks on to the sounds of INXS and Michael Hutchence, including my 75 year old father,my mother, (who is deceased), my fiance' and every one I've ever dated since the 80's.

Michael and his lyrics have helped shaped my life through the years. Songs like “Not Enough Time”, “Love Is (What I Say)”, “Original Sin” and so many others have moved me and still do to this day. We do a really psychedelic version of “Searching” on some sets that we dedicate to Mike, Jimi, Janis, Marvin, Pac, Biggie and Pops Staples of the Staple Singers.

I have an official “Kick” poster hanging up in my office right next to, that's right..a poster of Prince. Michael and Prince have been the two biggest artist in my life to help me create the sound I have with my band. And I will dedicate our first cd to Michael Hutchence upon it's release

I actually received a gold plague in 1984 for the efforts I made as a writer for a local magazine to make sure folks heard “The Swing”.

I really miss Mike and I'm sure there are others who feel the same as I do.

May God Bless and Keep All who read this and share the pain I feel.

Much Love and Respect to Family Friend s and Fans.

Peace

I was sitting here thinking of Michael and how he touched my life with his voice. I never met him but I feel that he will always be a part of my life. Michael, where ever you are, we miss you, love you, think of you often, and thank you for your beautiful voice. Rest in Peace my friend....

I've loved INXS since the early 80's and watched them play many times. It seems so strange that I finally met Michael in July 1997, Scotland, just months before the end. Funny thing is, I could not speak to him only call “Mike” so he would sign my concert ticket! Strange, sad, but rewarding - as if saying good bye. So nice to hear fans today, being so warm. Peace to all. Hutch - RIP

I keep looking back at this site to see what I can see about Michael Hutchence. Unfortunately, I've never met the man, I've only admired from afar. I just have to say that first of all, I'm a mortician and I feel memorialization of a life lived is very important, second, I was a huge fan of INXS, and, third, Michael departed on my birthday. Also, having lost two people in my life to suicide, I know what his family and friends must have felt first hand. I don't think I have to say it, but I will, we all know what kind of a man Michael was, we were all touched, and whenever we miss him, we can all just pop in one of his CDs and remember how great INXS' music made us all feel!
