dearest michael i cannot express in feelings what u meant to me. i'd love to have the chance to tell you. you were the most beautifulist man i ever saw and i'll never forget how you made an impact on my life for now i have to go i only wish u were here
Although I didn't know Michael personally, he touched my spirit. I hurt deeply when I read the headline of his death. Today they replayed “Behind the Music: The Michael Hutchence Story” and today I cried again for the loss of such a beautiful spirit.
I pray Michael is in heaven, he deserves that happiness, that peace.
His music, his lyrics resound in my heart and always will.
Thank you, Michael.
and thank you for creating this website.

I only found this site tonight and have spent over an hour on it. But it has stirred up memories.
I was babysitting when I was about 15 watching MTV when a video caught my attention. There was this unbelievable guy with long hair, leather jacket, no shirt with a rat on his shoulder, looking at ME with these amazing eyes that looked directly in my soul.
That was it. From then on I was an INXS fan and I judged all prospective partners by Michael's looks and mannerisms. I recorded every big or little thing on TV about him whether it be a concert, video clip or news snippet and fell in love with him.
Ten years later I was driving home from work - I'm sure it was a saturday but my memory may be wrong, when a brief newsflash shattered my world. I drove home in a daze and listened to the radio for confirmation. It was true.
I'd never had anyone close to me die before.
In shock I listened to all my old INXS and Max Q CD's remembering that one night in Perth at a concert when I alone struggled through the crowd, touched his shoulder with his pale green shirt, then turned back into the crowd knowing I had met ??? my destiny?? my dream? who knows? I was going to meet him one day and fix all his hurts and bring that smile back to his face whenever it dissapeared.
On that horrible day in 97, I kept thinking of all he'd been through recently, even though I didn't know him. Since to my knowledge there was no final note, I wrote my own. Forgive me for this presumption but it was truly how I felt at the time.
*********************************
Forgive me my friends
All we can ever want is happiness. We choose our paths and create ourselves without truly knowing what we are in fact creating.
I worked hard doing the things I needed to do. It may have semed like it was for you but it wasn't. All for my self esteem, pride, love and fulfilment.
But somewhere along the way it got lost. I was caught in the current of other people's wants, forced to limit my moves to suit the destiny of others. My freedom and integrity were compromised.
But money makes the world go round,so I did what I had to do. And adoration felt so good.
But gradually I realised that I had to start living my own life. I wasn't happy and I was wasting too much of my precious life on things that did't matter to my being.
SO I began to live my own priorities. And that didn't always go down so well.
For **** sake, it was my life! Didn't I have the right to do what I wanted with my own life. The things I chose to do and the people I chose to do them with! So much scorn from those it shouldn't concern.
These things get to you. Little by little they wear away any sense of peace you might have.
Well the time has come. I can't do it your way and you're sure as hell not going to let me do it mine. What choice do I have left?
I am sorry for those who genuinely care, but this decision is mine, and no one can twist it around to suit themselves. My choice.
Oh why couldn't you just let me be?
Now you can regret, remorse and finally let me be. Live with it on your conscience and make peace with yourselves. I've made mine.
Goodbye

This was based on my thoughts at the time without the post knowledge of other things occuring in his life. This was my suicide note for surely part of me died that day.

My first INXS concert was is Fresno, California. Prior to showtime, Michael bumped into me accidentally and was ever so kind and apologetic. I was with a friend and I did not know much about this band we came to see. When they came onstage, I realized that the band's lead singer was the one who bumped into me earlier. I will never forget his savior-faire and charisma when we met. I have been a fan ever since that concert. INXS were only allowed to play one song because the local police put a stop to the show due to
violence from a few fans inside this intimate venue. What a shame. It was
about 1982 during the Shabooh-Shoobah
album tour. Their music is timeless and incomparable. I am so happy to have found this website. My prayers go out to his family. As I raise my own children I am happy to have this great music we so enjoy to share with them and to show them what great music really is. May God Bless the Hutchence family.

Did the newspapers ever question,once, the well researched link between Prozac and suicide?
Thanks Toby Creswell for the one decent article about his life.
THanks Michael for “keeping your ear on the street” and being the major influence in my life. JKW FOREVER!

I often wonder if it's just me, or are there others out there that just can't let go. I mean, sometimes I feel obsessed with thoughts of Michael, and I'm not sure that's O.K I listen to his and INXS's music alot, and I find my mind just wanders. I wonder what it would have been like to know him, be his friend or better his signifigant other. I had a couple of questions that I wonder if Kellend or Rhett or anyone close to him could answer. Did he have any pets, if so what, what was his favourite colour, and car. What type of food did he enjoy the most. Where was his favourite travel destination for holidays. I just love his single CD, and pray that the family and close friends get comfort in knowing that many people loved and admired him. I get comfort from watching INXS videos. I wish he had been able to make some for his single CD. Well, Mr. Hutchence, I hope you can answer some of my questions without it being too painful, that's sincerely not my intention. It is to try to get to know him as you had the pleasure of knowing him. Hope you and your family are well, and my fondest wishes to Michael's sweet look-a-like, Tiger.

GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU.I WISH YOU STRENGTH AND FAITH.EACH DAY I AM LONELY FOR THE UNIQUE FEELINGS OF JOY I HAD WHILE LISTENING TO THE BAND AND SEEING THEM LIVE ON STAGE SO MANY TIMES.NO OTHER MUSIC WILL EVER REPLACE THE SPACE IN MY SOUL.IT IS NOT EASY TO JUST POP IN A CD,IT IS BITTERSWEET.PLEASE FIND PEACE IN KNOWING WHAT A SPECIAL,ETERNAL INFLUENCE MICHAEL HAS HAD ON THE PEOPLE WHO NEW HIM,AND THE PEOPLE WHO DANCED TO HIS POETRY.
THIS IS A GREAT WEBSITE AND GREAT TO READ OTHER PEOPLE THOUGHTS OF A BRILLIANT SINGER AND GREAT BAND.

LOVE AND PEACE EVERYONE

Just thought that I would leave my comment in respect of Michael.
Michael was a rare talent, a guy who made it big, and despite the public perception created (rock image/lift style), never I think lost track of his roots. He was a talented caring guy.
My favourite song by INXS was “disappear” (played it contantly when I first heard the news), which sums up my feelings. Michael was a talent which has disappeared from us forever.
I will never forget you Michael !!

This site is a wonderful tribute! Everything I wanted to know was right here.
I don't know if you have heard the new U2 song which Bono made for Michael.
It is beautiful and so correct for a legend to remember a legend in words and song just shows his memory still goes on.

Dear Kell,
I hope that you are now in better health and I was sorry to hear about what Rhett had to endure with the tragedy at his house..
The reason I am writing to you is that I saw the post on here from Wendy from North Queensland suggesting that it would be a great idea for you to release a picture book on Michael and I just wanted to add what a wonderful idea and keepsake that would be to honour Michael's memory (something lasting) for all his fans and how nice for Tiger to be able to see a book like that when she grows up, to give her a wonderful insight into her beautiful father... After all a picture is worth a thousand words... And Michael was ever so photogenic, the camera loved him, so why not share it in a tastefully produced book??
I know if you decided to do something like this! It would have all your love and dedication attached to it making it ever so special and unique..
with much love and affection
Yours sincerely, Judy xxx
Love and Peace

A man of my dreams-eternally special to me!
Michael has truly touched me-I think of him every day,and listen to his music every day-always asking myself “Why?”-he had so much to live for. Never before have I felt this way about a musician.
This website is fantastic Kelland!! Michael would be so touched that you created it, and that his fans still hold him strong in their memories.
The first night I discovered it,I was in there for hours!!I love reading the thoughts of other fans in the guest book,and am thrilled to see people from so many different countries and walks of life are as devoted as me.
I recently finished reading “Just a Man” by Patricia and Tina, and it just blew me away what a full life Michael lead.He certainly lived his dream of becoming a fine performer. I admire how he bared his feelings in the lyrics on “Elegantly Wasted”,and his soulful voice is in really fine form.I love all the songs,all of which are so strong.
Tiger Lily is so beautiful,and a mirror image of her Dad.She has his soulful eyes.I feel so sad for her, that she has lost both her parents at such a young age,and hope she is surrounded by love now.As she grows up I'm sure close family and friends will help her learn about her exceptional Dad.
Kell-I have an idea for you;Publish a big hardback,glossy book full of just photos of Michael at differnt ages and stages of his life,colour and black & white.I'm sure other fans would agree with me,that it would be a special keepsake of a man we all admire and love so much.
In loving memory of Michael.

I ran across this site while looking for info on Michael.
Words can not express how this site really hit home. My father died in July of 1999 and after reading your beautifully put together site, I cried and cried. I feel your pain, because I know it so well. The pain never goes away when a loved one dies, time just makes it hurt a little less.
I wanted to say you did a outstanding job on preserving Michael's memory.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
