Michael had a special place in my heart for 17 years and I was devastated to hear of his death. My girlfriend and I still have a few drinks for him on his memorial day. Thankyou very much for this site, it means a lot to be able to view his life and read the thoughts and memories of others.

I was deeply shocked and saddened by Paula's death and my heart goes out to Tiger Lily. I hope that she is able to stay with her sisters and that when she is older she will be able to view this website and more importantly have a relationship with her grandfather, who I can tell loves her very much.

Rest in peace together forever Michael and Paula.

Michael was my youth and his music and words fitted so many wonderful times and places for me. His life must be remembered as a joyous pathway that allowed so many of us to follow him to the point where he still remains with us today. Love and peace to Tiger a beautiful chapter in Michael's life. May Paula finally be at peace with the love of Michael. God bless each heart that Michael touched.

I don't know if anyone has sent this before.But I believe W.H. Auden must have written this poem for Michael though unaware :

Funeral Blues (by W. H. Auden)

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West.
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

my deepest sympathy to all the family,

your site is a wonderful memorial tribute to michael.

i think its a comfort to tiger lily to be with her sisters at this sad time as im sure you will agree.

nothing can replace michael in your lives , the only consolation is that you will get to see his daughter grow up. god bless you all.

I was watching a videotape of the Live Aid concert with INXS - Michael looked so young and wholesome and he made a little speech holding his hands up and making some kind of world unity symbol. I looked up more references to him on the WWW and came across this website. What a nice surprise - thank you for putting it out there - where people can come to it and find some kind of peace with everything that has happened.

I couldn't leave this site without telling you how heart warming it is too read so many stories about Michael from people from all over the world.

And too be given a teasing glimps of what Michael's life was like.

I hope that when Tiger Lily is older and understands what happened to her Mother and Father she gets some comfort in knowing that there is a world out there who are thinking of her and that she may never feel alone.

How strange to read the comment saying that Michael didn't want Tiger raised by Bob. Above all else I'm sure he wanted & still wants the very best for his precious little daughter.

rustling leaves, soft rain, sound within- rumbling pain- heart torn,mending ways - thoughts of love will forever -remain.

You should obtain custody of Tiger, I'm sure Michael did not intend for Bob Geldof to raise his daughter.

I found this site through Mike Gee's book about Michael. The book was fine, but didn't make me feel any better about the loss of your son, nothing will. Your site, however, does strengthen my feelings that Michael was a loved and loving man. His music has touched my life in the most positive of ways.

I wish he was still here. I listen to him daily. It tugs on my heart strings, but helps me face my challenges in life.

I'm continuing through this web site (which is very well done) and hope if there's ever anyway to join together with Michael's fans, I can find the way.

God bless you Mr Hutchence, thank-you for sharing.

A devoted fan

Darling Tiger You'll have a wonderful father in Bob. He's welcomed you into his family. This is the best place you can grow up with Bob & your sisters. What a good kind decent caring man he is. I hope there'll be no custody battles, no fights. You belong at home with your sisters. Bless you darling, it must be so hard to lose your Mummy, bless Fifi, Pixie & Peaches

Warmest love to a darling girl

I'd just like to say congratulations on such a brilliant site and say how sorry I am at Tigers loss. Shes a beautiful girl who deserves all the love that she gets. Everytime I see a photo published of her I can't help but marvel at how much she looks like her dad. He left behind an angel and now he is joined by his own angel. Sleep well Michael and Paula, finally you can both rest.

The tragedy of last week really caught me off guard. It sent me to the internet (and eventually to this beautiful site) and then to all the music of Michael's and INXS that I have...they represent an era to me, the angst and the bliss and the freedom of late teen / college years. God bless you all.

Thank you for a wonderful memorial for Michael. It is important to have a site like this to remember him from the family's and friends' point of view. I was fortunate to find it amidst the rumor and biased information elsewhere on the Internet.

I too have a baby daughter. My prayers are with little Tiger. It is sad that she has to pay the price for her parents' fame. God bless you, little girl.

Just wanted to send a prayer to Tiger Lily. You are in my thoughts and prayers, little angel. I pray too that all the families involved will do what's best for Tiger. Bless her little heart. I hope the heartache will end soon for all of you, especially the Hutchence family.

God bless you all.

Love Always,
Dina

I don't really know what to say. I don't think I've ever visited a web site that has moved me quite like this one has. My heart goes out to Tiger, no child should have to go through what she must be going through at this moment in her life. What matters now is that she is taken care of, in accordance with whats best for her.

Peace,
Jane xx

This morning I watched the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games. To see INXS perform at the ceremony was an awesome display. Michael may not be with them in life, but his soul and spirit will always be the heart of their music.

May he rest in peace.
Edith Somogyi, 01.10.2000
If I understand it right, there was a custody battle for Tiger prior to the death of her mother, Paula. Now, she had lost custody of her three other children to Mr. Geldof, on top of her having lost the love of her life, Michael. In the eyes of some people perhaps all these tragedies unhinged her mind to such extent that she was deemed to have became an unfit mother to her children. I wonder if there could have been another, better way of showing one's love for little Tiger, as well as one's support for Paula, than to try to separate the two. It seems to me that ultimately it is Tiger who will have to pay the highest price for her mother having been unable to protect her from the “best intentions” of the rest of the world.

The death of Paula brought back the sad memories of the past.

It really hurts, more than I can say.

Eventhough I never have met Michael I really feel that I have lost a dear friend.

Thank you for this web site.

It was saddening to hear about the death of Michael Hutchence and even more saddening to hear about the death of Paula Yates. One could not help shedding tears for 4-year-old Tiger, who had became and orphan overnight.

May Michael and Paula, reunited at last in heaven, bless their daughter, Tiger.
