Having just read Patricia & Tina's book,regardless of their motives, it is obvious how much Michael was loved by all of his family and the unfortunate Paula. He may have been just a man but he will always be a legend.
trades skills knowledge can never come near the intangeable effect an artist such as michael gave to his fans and admirers.awoken from sleeping c.d collections frequently new sensation never too far from a radio playlist.I grew up to kick when I was 15 broke up with a lover at the time of by my side etc etc a friend to many and a long time to come miss u amidst
Ongoing good wishes to Kellandfor his beautiful words on the recent Paula documentaries... your compassion, warmth and deep love for your family shines through each time. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Michael's mother who has sold not only her own, but Michael's soul, with the book she's written. It would be nice to know if all proceeds are going to Tiger.....? Also, for her comments on Paula on Radio 5 recently - hard hearted, nasty, bitter and totally unnecessary. She has a grand daughter whose mother is this lady she so belittled, and does she fail to remember that Paula, too, has other children? Kelland - apologies for the above if you're reading, but thank you again for keeping the spirit of your son and Paula alive. You're a wonderful man.
Michael, now we have lost Paula Yates you will be happy forever now that you have been reunited. Keep a watchful eye over Tiger Lilly from where you are now
Such a tragic end to a wonderful life, Michael, you are Big, Eternal, may you play your great music in the other world were we will all meet again in the (distant) future... There will never be another musical genious like yourself and l am so glad that l saw you live on three ocasions. You will brighten up the clouds when you pull those guitar strings next time, live on forever.

ME ENCANTA LA MUSICA DE INXS Y EL CARISMA DE MICHAEL
SIMPLEMENTE LO MEJOR ME GUSTARIA VISITAR AUSTRALIA ALGUNA VEZ PERO LAMENTABLENTE NO TENGO LOS MEDIOS ECONOMICOS.SOY UN SUPERFAN DE INXS YDE MICHAEL ME DOLIO MUCHO SU MUERTE.CONOZCO TODA LA HISTORIA O CASI TODA ME GUSTARIA QUE ME DIJERAN COMO PUEDO HACER PARA IR A AUSTRALIA Y ESTAR CON TODOS USTEDES
Micheal once sung, “not enough time for all that i want for you, not enough for every kiss and every touch” I love that song, but now I understand what it means. Ive been a fan for years and just want to express my deepest sympathies to his family and friends. God bless you always.
It's three years and his death still effects me. I was six years old when I first heard inxs' music and I have yet to come across another entertainer who writes music with such power and truth. He lives forever. Love and Peace

Nearly 3 years have passed but the GIFT you gave will last for ever !!!!
What a cruel world we live in. A world where people are turned in to cartoon figures just for our amusement. A world where a woman who had suffered such a loss as Paula can be ridiculed for her pain.
A world where raw emotion is supposed to be hidden away. I have heard people condemn Paula for not getting on with life...for not “pulling herself together.” Well what did people think she was trying to do”? This woman who admitted that she lived just for her children..life was in her words “a noble gesture.”
Everyone has their judgment of Michael and Paula. To the romantically inclined they were Romeo and Juliet..Paulas harsh critics viewed her as a woman who “snared” Michael. Where is the truth? Somewhere in between. They were like any couple trying to work through the wreckage of divorce. Paula was only trying to do her best by her children...acrimony which turned in to disaster for both she and Michael.
Their portrayal in the British press was damning to say the least. Michael was portrayed as some has been who ran away with Bob Geldofs wife. Paula was condemned for leaving a marriage which had run its course. Funny isn't it how society condemns a woman for leaving a marriage and never questions it when a man jumps ship in search of fulfillment.
Both Paula and Michael were undoubtedly searching for something more. Then Michael died..in one instant she lost her future. Then with the revelations about her father..she lost her past. As she said herself “I was like Bobby Ewing in the shower scene in Dallas. I woke up and my boyfriend wasn't my boyfriend. My father wasn't my father.”
She dealt with so many blows. I hoped she would find the strength to struggle on. She didn't. It is not up to me to judge or condemn. Who knows where any of our lives may end up?
All we can do now is remember the happy times..Michaels soaring voice and effortless charm. Paulas sassy spirited interviewing techniques and her witty writing. May they rest in peace. May Tiger embody the best of both and may those around her pass on the happy memories.

Mr Hutchence,
I just read about your surgery. I know that Tigers situation must be worrying for you. But it will sort itself in time. She is a beautiful child..with eyes so full of spirit and character. I hope you get the opportunity to meet her soon.
Get well!

I saw the band (2nd row) in 1987 in pittsburgh They blew me away!!! I wish I got the chance to see them again. Especially Michael. Michael was a great entertainer and he touched my soul. I will miss him terribly.
The memorial to Michael is a wonderful tribute, but i find robyn of perths remarks disturbing. She knows nothing about Bob Geldof, he is a good man. He has NEVER been disrespecful of Paula or Michael, despite how he must have felt. Nobody is blaming Michael, but Paula was the love of his life and he will cherish that child regardless of who the father is. How can it be better for little Tiger to be in unfamiliar surroundings with people she hardly knows, blood relatives or not, she does not belong in Australia and Michaels father knows that.
What a beautiful tribute and memorial and remembrance site this is. My prayers go out to the Hutchence family: I cannot fathom the pain of having one's child die. I have been an INXS fan since the early 80's and want to say that Michael always had a special light and brightness about him. To me INXS music is positive and upbeat --- a celebration of our life here on earth. But, Michael also seemed to have a keen awareness and sensitivity to eternity. I will say a prayer tonight for Michael, Tiger Lily, Paula Yates, and the Hutchence family ---
PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW ---

My heart goes out to tiger,not only for losing her daddy but now her mummy too,how can words express how she will feel when she is old enough to realise what she has lost.

I've loved INXS since the age of 10 when I first heard Kick.I've seen INXS in concert three times. I miss the fact that I'll never see Michael Hutchence again, on stage, looking gorgeous.Inxs are still part of my life, and always will be.
INXS are truly Australias greatest band. It was such a tragic loss when Michael died and i hope that the pain eases with time. good luck to little Tiger.
All the best Kell

I loved the film...dogs in space etc., (if you have a copy I would be ever so grateful if you would send me one - I'll pay for the postage of course) you were a painfully devine human being (i.e. fucking loveley, and I hope that you and Paula can rest in peace now, please say hello to my mum, I love you all. Best Wishes Always Emily XXX

Rest in peace Michael.Never will you be forgotten. Never.
