So so sad. Two such special people with their lives together just beginning...and a beautiful child. Fate twisted so unexpectedly cruelly. Michael, magnificent and talented (I had a passion for him for years), Paula so passionate and caring, I cannot imagine the pain she must have suffered and how she must have blamed herself, no wonder she sought escape from the torment. I weep for the senseless loss, and send my love to their families. Gone but never forgotten.

How they lived
How they shone
But how soon the lights were gone

I am sitting here at my PC thinking what I should write. I have been deeply saddened by the death of Micheal but also by the death of Paula Yates. I am the same age as Paula and have grown up seeing and reading about her in the media. I did not know her but knew she was a good mother to her children and to see her so very sad at the death of Micheal was upsetting. Let them rest in peace together at last. I will miss you both.

I am deeply saddened by the death of trying to be a rock chick, the devoted mother who questioned her self worth endlessly. She was a mass of contradictions but enormously appealing nonetheless.

I was upset to see Michaels mother and half sister on an Irish chat show. It is obvious they have their grievances with Paula. Suicide is a divisive thing..we all look for someone to blame. Paula was not to blame for Michaels death. It is not a question of blame....sadly he decided that life was too much. There was too much pain.

Paula if anything brought a reason to live in to Michaels life with the birth of his beloved Tiger.Her questioning of the coroners report was so sad. I understood where she was coming from. Paula had a lot of abandonment issues from her childhood and really didn't want to believe that Michael had ?willingly? left her.

Mr Kelland Hutchence..I commend you and your son Rhett. You have kept a dignified silence. You know that rubbishing Paula in the press isn't going to bring Michael back. All it serves to do is ruin Tigers vision of her mother. I urge Patricia Glassop and Tina Hutchence to leave Paula and Michael alone.

Saying that Michael wasn't going to marry Paula isn't helping anyone. What does it matter now? Only they know the truth...so speculation is pointless.

My hope is that there will not be a custody dispute over Tiger. To be honest who knows where the best place for her is. Paula's daughters can provide stability and love...perhaps holidays in Australia can give her an insight in to personality of her late father.

I hope this hasn't been disrespectful. The deaths of Paula and Michael are to be much lamented. They both seemed good people who were just trying to live their lives like the rest of us. May flights of angels bring them to their final resting place.Paula Yates. In spite of all the bad press she received Paula was a vibrant, warm and very witty woman.

I have grown up reading about Paula in the english press. Her friend Muriel Grey once joked that even Nazi war criminals got better press than Paula...seriously though..she was much maligned for not being a stereotype. She was a brilliant girl

The first time I saw you I feel something unique You were the only one able to touch my soul and even we never met I always knew everything about you now that you are not with me I feel your presence everywhere I go you are the first ray of light in the morning the wind that caress my hair the moonlight that makes me dream with you You saw me get sleep and you wanna touch my forehead so u leave that a moonlight caress my face. My love for you is deepest than the seas and bigger than any pain your heart can have. we'll spend a eternity together in your garden,I miss you and I try to tell you in the blue sky and I smile you from the colour of the most beautiful flowers that I'll take you to the place you rest. I promise my love for you will never end. Rest in peace

Michael was a wonderful artist and he is missed greatly.

I don't know what to say. There's not enough words to really express how I feel. Michael, you were such a wonderful, talented, beautiful man. I wish I had known you. I miss you and will never forget you.

You just couldn't take your eyes off him. Every gig you went to. He was, without competition, the best frontman to ever come out of Australia. Me and my brother used to save up and go to INXS stadium concerts, and by the end we'd both be in the clouds. Michael inspired both of us to learn music. He was such an inspiration. And the look in his eyes reeked of fiendishness.

The love for this man made evident by the words in this site has made me weep again and again. I love you Michael. Rest in Peace.

The first gig I ever went to, was INXS at the Glasgow Barrowlands in 1987 and it was one of the best nights in my life....I'd promised my brothers that I'd get them a t-shirt, so I wore all four t-shirts all through the gig...jumping around, singing all the words, having the time of my life! Afterwards, it was that cold outside that my jeans turned to cardboard, steam pouring off me into the Scottish air, with a piece of songsheet in my hand....I just wanted to say, thanks Michael for a great night, lots of great music and memories over the years...I'll always remember you.

I loved Michael. I loved Paula. Paula loved Michael to death. Literally. I've just watched the documentary about the real Paula Yates. Tragic.

She was a beautiful woman, a loving mother, a devoted lover to Michael. Never should anyone talk badly of her. She loved. She needed. She deserved. Michael left her and Tiger and she simply couldn't cope. God bless you Paula and Michael. And God bless those children.

A part of me disappeared when we lost Michael! Thank you for this site, to help bring back some of the memories.

Ofcourse I never knew him personally, but I was one of millions to admire, respect and have the greatest love for Mr.Michael Hutchence. He won't be forgotten.

As a child I adored this man. Every picture I saw, I found strength in his eyes. I cherished his music and found peace with the sound of his voice.

Now as a teenager, remembering all the times I saw him on t.v and heard him on the radio, I feel all the emotions I thought I had lost. He was one man, one that is like no other. He brought tears and smiles,and brought me influence.

For him, I wish to dedicate what ever life I lead to him. He remains apart of me and that I will never let go.

So for you, Michael.... I give my life and a message you and I can sing together..,?...and they could never, ever, tear us apart.?

I will always love you.

It is evident that this site has been done with such love and heartache that I couldn't help but cry and cry as I viewed it. I commend his father and family for putting together such a beautiful memorial of their loved one. I have always been an INXS fan, Michael was so unique and talented, his music will be so terribly missed. Thank you.

A Poem for Michael

Tossled haired man
seductively smiling,
Lithe body - bright soul
sparkling and shinning,
Burning a trail can't chase the fuse,
Suddenly ended distinguished too soon.

The following story might seem a little odd to some of you, but I had the privilege of actualy meeting Michael for about 7 years ago in the South of Holland during a traditional dress-party we call “Carnaval”. Everybody wears strange outfits & goes out on the streets to dance & drink all night. Apparently this was the same month that INXS toured Europe & all of a sudden when my former girlfriend & I passed trough a small alley, this tall handsome stranger in normal black clothes stood in front of us and it was one these magical moments, he bent over & kissed her on the cheek...very gentle We did not realise who he was untill 2 years ago when I bought a bootleg of an INXS concert from the same period...

I remember him as a gentleman.

Forever young, a legend always.

well, it's kind of difficult to write specially because i'm from another country , but i do my best.

since Michael died my life has changed. i feel that Michael lives inside me, i really do, I remember that at night , when i start to think in him and what happened on November 97, i began to cry, from the bottom of my heart.

here in Arg. the memory of him still remains(althoug the lack of publicity of his album)

write me if you can

as Michael sai once: “this has been the strangest party i had ever been to ”

I am writing today to express my oppinion about E! news on channel ten, in Australia. I am sick of these pathetic excuses for human interest/ gossip stories interferring with others lives. Today, I heard that they are running a segment on how (supposedly) Paula drove Michael to the grave. It broke my heart to realize that people cannont let these two people rest. They have to keep interferring with their lives, even when they have left the earth. If anyone agrees with my oppinion about these shows or has any information please, dont hesitate to email me.

Let them rest. Please, for their family and little Tiger.

I love this site along with the bands official site - www.INXS.com. I miss Michael dearly, and it's sites like these that keep us all remembering where we are in this world.

What a beautiful memorial you have created for Michael! INXS CDs are regular “spinners” in my CD changer. Michael had a brightness and vibrancy and life spirit about him that shone through into his music --- my continuing prayers and comfort to your family!

I did not learn of Michael death until some time after it happened. I must say that my heart has been so heavy with sadness since learning of his passing. I often wonder why this happened,although I know the feeling of despair that precipitates this sort of act and I think that this makes me hurt for Michael even more. I wish to tell his family and friends how much Michael--all of INXS helped me in my life. The music the sound of Michael voice and his smile brought me such joy. Thank you for sharing your son and brother,father and friend with me so that I can grieve. My only true regret is that I did not know Michael closely. With love and hugs and prayers JO
