I've loves INXS and Michael as long as I can remember. This is a tradegy!
I am a big fan of Michaels and i am still sad about what happened to him. When i heard about Paula yates the only thing i could think of was poor Tiger Lily. I hope she still has a good life without her mommy and daddy. Anyway, i have a web site about Micheal and i woild appreciate it if you would go to it and please sign the guestbook.Thanks
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.

kelland how are you feeling. i have been busying waiting to hear any news of your health.i guess you been taking one day at a time. right now. try not to worry about tiger.everyone is praying for her and thinking about her. she will understand when she is older. michael would not want you stressed out. think of you offen. please take care fay.nz
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
D'Lynn

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

I miss Michael Hutchence and the music that he and INXS made. I hope that God will bless Tiger and look out for her now that both of her parents have departed this world. I know that is not the legacy that Michael would have wished for his daughter. It is crushing circumstances have worked out this way, with both he and Paula Yates meeting such tragic, untimely ends. It breaks my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family-especially Tiger.
If I could say one thing to Michael and Paula, it would be to watch over Tiger from wherever your spirits may travel. She is going to need all the angels that she can get. How truly sad that this little girl will have to spend her life without the two people who undoubtedly loved her the most.This is not to place blame - it is just truly a tragedy for everyone...
Hi , I felt that I just had to write and say a few words. In 1998 , I decided to visit Australia as a few of my friends were there , so I decided to go and visit them , I always was a big inxs fan , but never got the chance to see them in concert as I was too young to go to a concert , I always said “ I will go when I get older ” and settled for videos and magazines , I was totally in lust with Michael and honestly thought that I would meet him someday and we would marry and all the rest !!Now as I am older I can see that was just a childish thought , but although I never met Michael, I felt his presence in Sydney , when I went to the harbour , I went to see the Cathedral where he had his memorial service , I actually learned something from this tradegy , I never wait anymore !! I waited to see Michael , but now I never will, always take an oppertunity when it arrises there are always ways and means. To Michaels family , thank you for this webpage , its fantastic, and very well planned out , well done.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I feel I must write this for Tiger. I was extremely lucky enough to camp next to Inxs during the 80's at a beautiful beach aptly called Pretty Beach.
Kirk Pengilly,Michael and a couple of models were there. According to Kirk they were filming excerpts of the filmclip “Burn for You”.
I was about 9 or 10 years old and I remember playing on the beach with my two friends and looking at the most beautiful, exuberant man rubbing sunsreen onto four of the biggest breasts I have ever seen in my life. The thing that struck me as funny was although he appeared to be exuberant and sensual he also appeared to be even more shy, and would not return my stares, maybe out of embarrassement of what he was doing. I found this hugely contradictary but the impression I received from that meeting was that although he was a sensual and highly exuberant young man he was equally if not more shy.
Well, anyway Kirk came up to our campsite and asked if we had any spare water as they had run out and promptly introduced himself as Kirk Pengilly and said he was from a band called Inxs and that they were filming their filmclip Burn for You.
My father gave them some water while muttering under his breath something about young hippies in Croatian.
In short,I was able to get an extremely accurate insight into the man that was Michael Hutchence and to be honest with you the newspapers and various other media outlets have totally gotten Michael wrong.
He was an extremely sensitive young man who loved to sing yet I feel the pressures of fame worked against this most beautiful and sensitive soul.
It is the image of Michael young and free, with his dark curly locks falling over his face so sensually and wildly, yet still offering him protection from the glaring masses, which will always stick in my head.
Michael Hutchence was not the things the media has portrayed him to be. No, Michael Kelland Hutchence was a beautiful, young, caring sensitive soul with a heart bigger than most people's and my life will always be enriched knowing that I was so close to one of Australia's most beautiful and sensitive young males. Tiger, please if you ever read this know that your father loved you with a passion. To Michael's family I wish to say thank-you for giving the world a beautiful and sensitive young man. I have taken my husband and two small daughters to Pretty Beach and you would not believe what song was playing on the radio. Burn for You. I feel as though all my life I have had a connection with Michael and I know that all the bad publicity he received was extremely hurtful to him. I love you Michael.

Dear Michael Hutchence Website:
I thoroughly enjoyed the website and was moved to tears when I went through each section of it. I have been an INXS fan for thirteen years and was saddened by the loss of such a talented singer and performer. It still puzzles me why these things happen, but I know God has a purpose for us all and only He knows the reasons. I know Michael is in Heaven and is singing with all his talent, as I know Paula is up there with him. God bless and may the Lord's blessings and love be with you all.
Sincerely,
Michael Knight

May Michael and Paula rest in peace with eachother and May Tiger Lilly live out their spirits.
Dear Mr Hutchence My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours, especially that darling little angel Tiger after this awful tragedy bestowed upon her and her sisters. I just wonder if Bob is doing this out of love or guilt. I hope peace and happiness finally comes to these little girls. After all they are our future. Without them there would be nothing.

I didn't want to write this here, but I must. I'm sending my heart out to you and your family. I also pray for peace with Paula's family. Tiger is blessed with many people who will love and care for her. This is a sad time for so many. Please remember that you have supporters out here who will be by your side through this.
God bless Michael, Paula, Tiger and all of you.
Peace- Katia

Dear Kell,
My most sincerest condolences. Such a tragic nightmare yet again. Please keep strong, especially for Tiger's sake and also Michael. What would Michael want now?? for his precious little princess????? I am so concerned for her welfare that it has literally occupied my thoughts day & night. I just hope that wherever she is brought up that she never forgets what a beautiful, special and loving person her wonderful father was... She needs to grow up knowing that her father had such a deep well of love for her, I pray that she will learn all about both her parents.
Love, Peace and Strength to you.
p.s. I posted here earlier when I first heard of the unbelievable tragedy.
