I have loved Inxs and The voice of Michael Hutchence since 14 years old and will always carrying on this way.I am still so sad about this waste of beautiful life and talent.My one regret in life is that I never got to see him play live.

I have only just come across this site and thought it was a very thoughful and caring way to help those you admired and respected Michael.My heart goes out to his family and Tiger but know that she will grow up knowing what a talanted, sexy,strong father that she had.

Kell,Tina, what a wonderful idea is this memorial site. You have been gracious, like Michael, to have taken the time to share your special pictures and thoughts. I have seen Michaels memorial at . . Crematoriam. I was there one day, walking aimlessly having just visited my father and then my 38 year old sister (she had recently been murdered). I was overwhelmed but found calm when drawn to Michael's memorial. I asked that they all care for each other and I thought of “only the good die young”. I adored Michaels/Inxs music (started with Inxs,Inxs) his performances (in particular a hot summer night at the Narrabeen Hotel when he lurched past, swankering his sexy swanker, eyes transfixed intensly). It is past now, they are at peace and we must rest. X

I visited Michaels memorial site one weekend this November, travelling from New Zealand. It is the most beautiful place - an incredibly peaceful and tranquil setting - so fitting for someone like Michael. It was a reasonably bleak day however the sun managed to peek through and it stop drizzling for me whilst I visited. I am glad I took the time to visit - thank you Kell for making this available.

I have always admired Michael and he will always be in all of our hearts. I hope that Tiger will be happy, now at this time more than ever she needs her family - she needs her sisters.

Beautiful, you really put togtether a wonderful collection of pictures and quotes. Keep the memories always alive.

Dear Kell,

Thank you so much for letting us know that the story in “The Sun” newspaper was a hoax! It was such a relief to hear as I felt sick in the stomach and I thought all along that it was some sick joke (but you can never tell for sure) Some of those tabloids are so disgusting, how do they sleep at night? I couldn't agree more as to the lack of integrity of Mr Murdochs editors. Thank goodness for it being untrue.

Thanks again so much. Take care

Love and Peace

I was an avid fan of Michael's and I miss him and his music so very much. He always made me feel happy. I will always treasure him and his warmth

Dear Kell and Susie, I have wanted to contact you much sooner than this but for a number of reasons I'm just getting to it now. I visited the official INXS fan website last night and left an entry in memory of Michael. Michael's death has affected me in very profound way. You see Michael, along with his mates in INXS helped me through some very difficult times. In December 1990 my wife at the time filed for divorce. The next several years were extremely difficult, especially only being able to see my only son on weekends. (he was 3 years old at the time). INXS's album 'X' was out at the time and that album along with some of the band's other compositions really helped me through those times, especially 'Bitter Tears' and 'The Stairs'. It seemed at the time that the lyrics in 'Bitter Tears' were written with people in my situation in mind. (I guess that's fairly obvious). Anyway, I felt a kinship of sorts with Michael; although I was never fortunate to see INXS live, I have all of the bands albums and some of the commercially produced videos. Anyway, in June 1994 my dear sister Cathy took her life at the age of 35. She was the victim of an abusive husband whose gun she turned on herself to escape the pain he inflicted. Again, I turned to music to help me through the most difficult days of my life; again I turned to Michael and INXS. When I arrived home from work on that terrible morning in November, 1997 and read the story about Michael's death, it all opened up again, it was as if I had lost a dear, dear friend. I had also lost my older brother Tim to cancer in 1977. (I didn't want to forget to mention him, I still miss him dearly after 23 years). I struggle with my dear sister's loss, suicide is so much more difficult to come to terms with. I struggle as well with the loss of my 'friend' Michael as well. I cannot express to you how sorry I am for your terrible loss. There is only one thing that I am afraid of now, and that is my own son being harmed in some way. I feel I can handle anything but that. I ask my dear mom how she copes with having lost two of her five children so prematurely (Tim was 24), she tells me that her faith in God, and the support of family and friends has sustained her. So it is in that spirit that I reach out to you. (Someone once said “A stranger is a friend we haven't met yet”) I want to thank you personally for this website because the time I have spent here has helped me immensely to confront the loss of my sister and Michael, which now are forever linked in my heart and soul. One needs to grieve, it's part of the healing process, and seeing the photos of beautiful little Tiger, especially the one where Michael is holding her, helped me to crack a bit and shed some much needed tears. (They are less bitter as time goes by). Michael's solo album greatly exceeded my own expectations and has also been a comfort, in a bittersweet way of course. I feel that it demonstrates the fact that although INXS was, and will remain forever one of the best rock and roll bands ever, Michael's talents were many and certainly not limited to his work with INXS. I'm certain you don't need me to tell you that. I thank you again for this site and I apologize for the length of this message but I needed to let you know how I felt. You, Tiger, the rest of the family, and Michael's mates in INXS are in my thoughts and prayers often. Take care and God Bless, Robert Clayton, Bordentown, NJ USA

I can't believe it's been 3 years since Michael left us. The pain is still so fresh. Thank you, Kell, for the site and for the beautiful pictures of Tiger Lily. She definitely is her father's daughter. Please keep us updated on how she is doing. Hope your pain is getting easier to bear.

He loved Paula, and that has been forgotten. Every thing he did was for her and she loved him with her soul. Please try and figive her she did nothing wrong.

I just wanted to stop and show my appreciation for one of the greatest artists ever. He has greatly influenced my life and the way I view the world. Im just sorry I never got to see him in person. I think he has the most unique voice I have ever heard. In spite of the tragedy he has left a great gift to the world that will be shared for centries to come and i cant understand why anyone wouldve criticized him( Oasis*), because anyone who doesnt find his talent amazing is a complete idiot.

Thanks for this wonderful site--

I was priveledged to live in Sydney for a while an visited the memorial to Hutch...I even left some tigerlillies....thanks for the memories!
