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.

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.

My heart felt pain the second I heard of Michaels' death. I can truly say that he was such a gentle man. I spent some time with him back in 1983 in Boston. He was such a sweet man. I am also still a huge fan of his music. This website is beautiful. Thank You.

I have seen about 5 concerts of INXS from the beginning to the end! There is not a day that doesn't go by that I wish we could take back time.

INXS will always be no. 1 with me!

I fell in love with Michael, INXS and their music at quite a late stage - 1991. I went to their Summer XS concert at Wembley Stadium in July 1991 with my partner who was a big fan. Although I only went along for his sake, I came home a bigger fan than him! Michael had the most amazing stage presence - he flirted with the crowd and they responded in just the right way. I still get the shivers when I remember the excitement I felt that day. Ever since then, INXS have been my favourite band, Michael has been my favourite ever man and my best ever track is “Never Tear Us Apart”. Even though I never knew him, I was devasted at his death and still feel so very sad when I think of it. Rest in Peace Michael .... and Paula xxxx

Kelland, this has taken a couple of years to write. I think it took the passing of Paula and saddness for Tiger to write something to you. I first saw Michael and the boys at Davidson High several years ago. My sister was in the same year as Michael and a couple of the boys. My longest friend has a sister who went to Forrest High (I think that's the name of the school).

I can remember going along to a school concert, under protest, to see this group that was named Farriss Bros. Wasn't too bad. After a couple of years I heard them on the radio as INXS. Since then I tried my best to keep informed on the band with albums, tours etc.

When I heard what happened to Michael in 1997 it left me in disbelief that this person so high on life with a wonderful daughter, five best friend and a loving family, would suddenly be gone from our lives. It couldn't happen, it hasn't happened, it won't happen. But it has.

Now after a couple of years, everyone is trying to get on with their lives and the band are having 'Guests' as the lead, I've finally managed to talk about how Michael and the band affected me. Without going into a manuscript.

The man and the band will forever be AWESOME.

I also heard you have been ill lately.

Best wishes on recovering. Michaels memory will forever last in our hearts.

With kind regards
Simon

I'm not sure if there is anything else for me to say about a man like Michael. His beauty and passion inspired many people and it is evident in the amount of people who have singed this guest book. I think Michael was one of those people that you just had to love, one of those people that you could never hate. And although i say he was 'one of those people', i think we all know that there was no one, and never will be anyone else like him.

There is a theory that soul mates cannot be apart for long, if at all, if one of them dies. I have had evidence of that in my family and i think it is the same with Michael and Paula. My best wishes to Kelland and family,and to Tiger also.

I had visited this site some three months ago. I visited this site today, (28/09/00), and still am just as moved by it as I was three months ago. There are many people whose lives Michael touched, from his family, friends, colleagues and the many many fans. I did not realise how much until now.

I would like to say thank you, Kell, for allowing us all to view this memorial site devoted to Michael and the memory of Michael. It is truly a very moving experience and one that will never be forgotten.

I hope the spirit of your son lasts forever in our hearts and in our minds. Take Care.

Where does one begin? In all honesty I cannot say I am an INXS fan,I never really listened to their music and I probably wouldnt be able to name any of their songs...but I can say a couple of things as a person and a human being.

The day I heard the news that Michael had passed away, I was shocked. I guess hearing about him on the news and on the net, about his life, music and daughters arrival was something many of us took for granted, not knowing him or knowing that he would die and all of a sudden his death becomes something that grabs your attention and makes you realise that this person is gone&you never enjoyed his music while he was alive, never hugged him, held him close, spoke to him as a mate, brother, partner and will never be able to do anything with him.

His death has been on my mind for sometime& I have often wondered what Tiger Lily would oneday think of her father, would she understnd his death, I dont think anyone ever will. When Michael left this place, he left many un-answered questions and many aching hearts.

Without realising it, his death has touched many lives,including mine and I thank GOD for giving Michael to us all and Michael for the memories in which he left and the strength in which he has given to us all to keep dreaming,fighting and believing.

My heart is breaking once more, for Tiger Lily, a beautiful gift from god, whose little life has been thrown into turmoil once more. Paula and Michael are reunited in spirit, I dont believe that either of them wanted to leave Tiger Lily, Our lord and creator has something instore for Tiger Lily and although she may not understand why her mummy and daddy are gone and why, she will grow up knowing that they both loved her very much. She looks like Michael and I feel that she has been blessed with many of her parents qualities.

TO HER FAMILY: I know that this must be difficult for you, knowing Michaels daughter has been orphaned, but in reality, she has many wonderful people around her. I know you will all do whats best for Tiger Lily and you all have my sincere best wishes.

I hope Tiger Lily has a wonderful life and that people dont remind her of anything other than how much her mummy and daddy did love her.

They gave her life.

I have been a fan of Michael Hutchence and the band Inxs since their video “The One Thing”. He had a lot of talent and he was a really special performer.

Wanted to share a poem for Tiger.

Heavenly

A little girl with summer smiles
Whisked away by timeless trials
Pain and hurt surround again
What will become her in the end
Innocently tossed aside
Who will rescue her tonight?
Kitten girl with once glittering eyes
Where now only confusion lies
Wipe away her pooled tears
Clamly quiet all her fears
Protect her, love her, and find that smile
Because to us she is a golden child

Michael will always stay in my heart as one of the most talented and gifted people ever and I will never forget him.

Although nearly three years have passed - the death of Michael seems like yesterday. The INXS “Kick” album for me, set the stage for a very formative period in Europe in the late eighties. When I close my eyes and hear the songs - it's as though I am still a teenager.

Then, in 1995 when I moved to England for a year, I became entranced by frequent “Hello” articles highlighting the courtship of Michael and Paula. Realizing that this relationship proved acrimonious in later years for you, I will say that I sensed from the beginning that they were soulmates. I could almost feel the heart wrenching pain that Paula endured during the period after Michael's death. She, grieving for what could have been... and the family grieving for what used to be. Women do things, sometimes quite irrationally when faced with uncertainty in their lives. Someone must be blamed - for you, it was Paula and for Paula....it was you.

Michael found something in Paula that no other woman could provide. Whether purely physical or intellectual - the passion and loyaly was there.

What has transpired since 1997 is horrible - no doubt about it. Now, Tiger is alone and must face the world without the firm guidance of a father and without the soft embrace and gentle kisses of a loving mother. Paula was a nuturing person and Michael needed that earthly influence to settle down. I only wish that it hadn't occured with such devestating results...

My prayers are with you all - especially Tiger
