Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful, heart touching site and all your memories of a wonderful man, father and musician!!! Also thanks to Bono/U2 for his inspiring song 'Stuck in a moment' (Can't get out of) - it may will help those who are searching for optimism and help.

I have been a HUGH fan of INXS and Michael Hutchence for as long as I can remember. I was lucky enough to meet him at Sydney Airport many years ago and he took the time to talk to me and sing autographs. When I told my auntie (from Queensland) she told me that they used to practice in her garage when INXS was THE FARRIS BROTHERS.
I am half way through reading “Michael Hutchence - Just A Man” and feel as though I knew him personally. My deepest sympathies go out to Kell, Patricia, Tina and Rhett. Michael will live on forever in his music and in our hearts.

i had never heard of INXS until the release of “elegantly waisted”. I had never heared music with their kind of sound before, so i bought it and have become a devoted fan. I found out that my aunt and cousins are huge fans aswell and have been for years. i just wish they would have introduced me to INXS sooner. once i heard of the death of micheal i went to my room and staid there for 3 days just listening to his music and wondering why. i can't help but think that if he had just talked about his problems, seeked help, that he would still be alive. i feel this because i used to be suicidal, i got help and learned how to deal with my depression. i wish he had found the same inlightenment in time. i appologize if what i have said brings pain and offence, that is not my intension. my intent is to maybe bring help to others before it is to late. i wish the best for family and friends.
Thank you for sharing your memories of a truly wonderful man.
Thankyou Mr Hutchence for this magnificent web site. I have been an INXS fan for a long time, have most of their albums and will forever play their music, but the shining light of the band has gone. I feel for the rest of the band members. INXS will never be the same, but the music will linger forever. Michael's memory will never die as long as Tiger is alive. She is so much her Dad. Thankyou for the opportunity to express my feelings. Goodbye Michael.
A fan forever,
Ann.

Thank you for this great webpage Mr Hutchence!
I 've been at the monument in the memorial garden just a few days ago when i visited Sydney after a long time again. The city is a bit empty without Michael....i must say!
Anyway, i saw the X-mas tree on the grave and i love to see that he is still in mind of many people. I also read about the custody battle around Tiger. I really don't appreciate Bob too much, but the sisters are all that'ts left for Tiger of her 'used to be' family and due to that i wonder if the court really does that girl a favour if they sent her to Australia. May it is a bit to early for that. She needs something close that she can stick to and rely on. Something that does not change. Although i don't like to hear she is calling Bob Dad. But the best for the girl is the best to keep Michael alive. She's got his eyes!!!!! It is beautiful.
Wishing you and your family a happy new year.

To the Hutchence family
I have been listening to Michael Hutchence and INXS since I was 8 years old. I am now 26 yrs old and I still love them. I read this site with interest and it's great to know that his legend is still around- I believe his legend will never die. To Kell & the Hutchence family, I really enjoyed reading this site- it made me realise Michael was not solely a rock star but a family man who cared for everyone around him. Again thankyou!!

I am half way through one of the most heart warming and yet deeply sadening books I have read in a long time, 'Just A Man' the real Michael Hutchence, when I thought I would visit this website. A legend who will live in my heart for the rest of my life, Rest In Peace, Michael.
Love & Peace

I have just finished reading the book “just a man”. It was a beautiful book and this is a beautiful web site. I am upset to see that a tragaedy like this has happened to such a beautiful man and “families” but he is one we'll never forget. I've always loved his/inxs music and will always be in my heart.
I am a writer/researcher for a web page and i see hundreds of sites per day. Your site touched me, as i can see the love and care put into it. i have always been a fan of Michael and INXS, and i'm glad to see such a great memorial site. God Bless.
I am a great fan of Michael and of INXS and I feel privilaged to have seen Michael perform at the Civic Centre, Caloundra, Qld. He was awesome on stage and it was amazing to see how he mesmerized the whole audience. Especially the girls. Beautiful seductive eyes. So sexy.
Sadly missed. The world has lost a great talent.

Just stumbled onto your site. It's beautiful. INXS was for me the Rolling Stones of my generation. I was first exposed to INXS in 1984 while on tour with the Go-Gos. I was hooked from them on. I saw the band perform over 20 times and it wasn't until 2 months before Michael's death that I was able to meet him. I took my tour poster from 86' and had the band sign it. I was the first person that Michael spoke to in a room of 30 or 40 people. I felt as if I was talking to an old friend. We talked about Tiger the most and how he missed her. I will always miss Michael. He was my idol as a teen, and my hero as an adult.....
Peace be with you as you watch Tiger grow and see Michael in her eyes.....
p.s.....it's so very sad about Paula as well........

I have just read a book on Michael's life and feel like I know the family. I remember I was so sad when I heard he had died. I was in shock. He had such charisma and energy. The world lost a great talent and wonderful person.
Just wanted to add - you can really be proud of Tiger! What a sweet girl!
It's been a few years now, but still at a loss for words. I never had the opportunity to thank Michael for all he gave to the world. I know I am not the only one, but I'd like to say that, Michael gave me more than just his voice, his words and his songs, he also gave me life. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here today. Just wish he knew just how much more he gave to us all.
I just read in People Magazine that Bob Geldoff was awarded custody of Tiger Lily. Surely, this can't be true. Was any of Michael's family trying to get custody of her? This is so tragic that he of all people should get custody of her.
I just want to say, that this is the most beautiful site I've ever seen. I've been an INXS fan since 1988 or something. As everyone else - I miss Michael deeply. But, I believe that we fans can't really imagine what you - family and friends - are feeling.
In my opinion, there will never be a singer with Michael's voice again.

Cissi

I have been a major fan of INXS and Michael Hutchence for years. I was in my teens when their music became popular in America. What a great time to be alive. Michael's life is an inspiration and will live on in our hearts and minds. God bless him and his family.
It's barely the new year here in Colorado, and of course, my thoughts go immediately to you, Michael. Another year without you, and yet another year to enjoy the beautiful music you left behind. I certainly wish you could have seen your beautiful Sydney for the new year ... it was gorgeous. We continue to miss you, and hope all is well wherever you are. Love you always.
All my best wishes to the family for 2001. I have just finished reading “Just A Man” By Patricia & Tina and am very pleased there is a place to let you know that people do care.

WHAT A FANTASTIC WEB SITE YOU HAVE CREATED. I HAVE JUST FINISHED READING JUST A MAN BY TINA AND PATRICIA, WHICH PORTRAYS KELL AS A MONEY HUNGRY MAN WHICH IS SAD. WHAT A SHAME THE FAMILY CANT BE UNITED TOGETHER SINCE THEY HAVE LOST THEIR SON.
The song “Stuck in a Moment that you can't get out Of” on U2's new cd “All That you can't Leave Behind” is dedicated to Michael Hutchence.
Sample lyric
“You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now
You're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along the stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass.”
These are the words of a man who wishes that he could have intervened in Michael's hour of need.
Bono like all of Michael's friends probably feels that he should have been able to help prevent the tragedy of November 97 from taking place.
With suicide we are all motivated by guilt and what if's. This song is a joyous celebration of life. We can get through the bad times...all things will pass. A tad simplistic perhaps but touching nevertheless.
My hope is that this song will be uplifting to those who sorely need an infusion of happiness and optimism.

I must share with you this if I may please. While watching the television just now, a commercial for Chevrolet Silverado came on. Normally I do not give attention to the commercials of television...no. However, this one was different, and it was one which brought to me a smile. It was not the product itself, rather it was the voice used to sell the product. Allow me to explain. Throughout the commercial, the familiar music of INXS is heard...and then Michael sings, “I'll give you what you need...give you what you need.”
Indeed, Michael gave us what we needed...yes.
It is said that all of our tomorrows are ours to shape; with that thought in mind, may we remember that Michael's daughter, a very small child, has many many tommorrows ahead of her to shape. The words we as a people share can influence this wee one, as she grows in her own spirit. May our visits here reflect a kindness and a respect as we pause to honour the memory of a man who deeply affected so many. May we seek to always give tiny Tiger 'what she needs', in the same way that Michael gave us what we needed...yes.
Thank you for allowing me to share.
Peace and Protection for the coming year...and always.
