Michael was a wonderfully talented artist and is greatly missed. This website is a fantastic tribute.

Dear Michael keep resting

As a professional; I urge that this child, Tiger Lily, MUST get some stability in life. She has that through her sisters, sort of i guess anyway......let her keep that, and leave the selfcentred ideas behind....We are talking of a human being. I love INXS....and still feel sadness for Tigers father..dont take that child away from what at least has been SOME way of stability......She can visit Australia any time she likes in her life. Thank you.

I loved this website. So many things were so beautiful. I am 33 and i did not know Michael had even died until I was watching the new years bash where at the end they show who died that year. I had to leave the room, I was so upset you would have thought he was a personal friend of mine. I still think about him. I worked in a record store when I was a kid and I use to get imports of INXS and I have everything up until the last. I quess in a way I have enjoyed their music for so long I do feel like i know them. I could put on so may songs and remember so many good times in my life and heartbreaking times. I was always able to really relate to their music, to his lyrics. I am heartbroken for his family and my prayers go out to all of his family and friends. God bless his child. And my his soul rest in peace. Thank you for having this wonderful way of letting people send their condolences.

I had the privilege of meeting Michael in Newcastle, England in July 1993. INXS were doing a small venue tour and chose hopeful unsigned bands to support them in the town they were playing. My band was chosen from as you can imagine thousands of demo tape entries to play with them. I haven't gone on to MAKE it as a pop icon but I don't care, I played on the same bill with a true rock legend. For me all the hard work struggling over ten years to be signed somehow didn't matter, it all came to fruision that night. We played well and the crowd were fantastic especially as we were only the support but we were in the clouds most of all because of Michael and the band's genorisity. Myself and the band were as high as kites (on adrenalin and nothing suspect) in the dressing room after the show when out the corner of my eye I spotted Michael sitting quietly smiling to himself. This was a tour to take them back to their early days and here in front of him were five wanna be's bouncing up and down. His wry smile said it all.....yup been there! Michael and most of the band spent half an hour with us ignoring frenzied requests from their staff to get back to the hotel. I tell you INXS for all the record sales and worldwide fame are the most humble, down to earth bunch of blokes you're ever likely to meet.

Michael's death, even though I only knew him personally for half an hour really knocked me off balance probably because of his work which I had followed closely and having met him it effected me as deeply as if I'd lost a family member. To me it doesn't matter the circumstances in which he died, he will always remain rock steady yet human and not be untouchable as some are when they reach his status.

I'd like to congratulate Mr. Hutchence Snr. on a great website but most importantly send my thoughts during another difficult time. I hope that for Tiger's sake matters can be resolved with her best interests considered and she can enjoy her coming years without the spolight and tug of war to hinder her childhood. She is most definitely the apple of her Father's eye.

God bless and all my best wishes.
Martin O'Nions.

My heart goes to Micheal's family and the beautiful Tiger.My sincere condolences to you all. Thank you for having such a wonderful site.

Rest in peace Michael and Paula.

For Tiger,

You are a beautiful child of two beautiful people, taken tragically so young. A father who adored you and a mother who was devoted to you but in the end died accidentally of a broken heart. They would never have left you Tiger and will be watching over you for eternity.

So sad Paula - I felt I knew you - such a tragic, beautiful woman. Rest now.

I still am touched deeply by the loss of Micheal and my heart goes out to Tiger at the loss of both her parents I hope that she will have a happier life in the future but never forget her dad for the brilliant work he contribited to the world of music.

I wish to thankyou for the most beutiful site. It was very moving and I was very touched by it all.

My heart goes out to little Tiger for not only losing her father at such a young age but also her mother. while not forgetting her other lovely daughters.

Thanks again
rest in peace Michael and Paula

Any untimely death is a tragedy, and now this poor family has experienced two.

But let us not forget such tragedies occur every day and deserve no less grievance than when it befalls the rich and famous.

In all our attempts to express our sorrow and pay our respects, let us ensure we never glorify nor romanticise a story like this.

Forever young...
