What a beautiful tribute to a very talented and very speical person. I have been an Inxs fan since I was about 10yrs, I'm 23 now and just as bigger fan as ever.I think your website is fantastic and yes it was an emotional trip down memory lane.Good luck to Tiger in the future,she's so lucky to have had a father that was so talented and obviously adored her.Congratulations on the site, its memories like these that keep Michael alive.
I'm originally from Adelaide and saw INXS in concert, but have always loved there music. I listen to the words of every song. Some words stand out just when you need to hear them. My girls used to laugh at me when I'd be dancing around the house with the music full bore. Now they've grown up with INXS and Micheal's music and there the one's dancing around. Micheal will live on in his music and in all our hearts. I miss you Micheal even though I never met you in person I feel like I knew a special person through your legacy of your songs. My daughter wants to write songs and has the talent to do so, I can only hope she can move people the way you moved me. Love to all your family. He will always be with you!!!!

MICHAEL IS LIVE
INXS WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS EVER. MICHAEL HUTCHENCE WAS A VERY TALENTED ARTIST, AND HE IS GREATLY MISSED. THIS MEMORIAL SITES GIVES FANS LIKE ME A CHANCE TO REFLECT ON MICHAEL'S LIFE, AND TO REMEMBER HIM FOR THE GREAT MUSIC ICON THAT HE WAS. I SAW INXS TWICE IN CONCERT, AND OWN EVERY CD THAT THEY PRODUCED. MICHAEL YOU WILL LIVE IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS FOREVER! GOD BLESS, WE MISS YOU TERRIBLY, BUT WE KNOW YOU ARE STILL EVERYWHERE AROUND US FOREVER! WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!!
It is nice to check in now and then. Funny how ritual becomes important when we lose loved ones.
This website is a fitting tribute to Michael. But I think it serves a much more simple purpose. It is kind of like the internet equivalent or dropping by to have a cup of tea. It is a way of reconnecting..of saying hat you truly cared about someone.
With the hectic pace of life it is so easy to be complacent. We forget to thank the wonderful people who touch our lives on a daily basis.
Michael was lucky. He had the gift of musicianship..a form of instant connection. He had the power to help people escape from the turmoil and troubles of life. He blessed us with his gift and for this we are thankful.
But with people like Michael we forget they are human. They seem so perfect to us. We fail to realize that celebrities lives are pretty much like our own. They have their ups and downs..but unlike us they have to deal with it publicly.
I thought of Michael recently having heard an anecdote about Madonna. She allegedly got in to an elevator with Rosie O Donnell. A teenager got in with them. He turned to Madonna and said “Your hair was much nicer before. You look ugly now.”
You see to him Madonna wasn't human. I am sure she has developed a thick skin but at the same time we seem to forgot our common humanity. People like Michael Hutchence and Madonna are just that..people.
They may be more talented, better looking and hell a lot richer than us but they have the same insecurities.
Of course a part of me goes mad when I hear a celebrity complaining about media attention. That is naturally part of the life. But nobody deserves the cruel treatment which Michael and Paula received in the British press.
So the next time you read a scathing story about a celebrity..put some perspective on it. Don't allow the media to distort your opinion of people. Oh and by the way I work as a reporter so I can't be accused of just being a tabloid hating crackpot!
So read your tabloids. Just don't believe everything. Respect someones privacy. Don't make quick judgements on people like Paula and Michael.
They are really just a reflection of us. Their joys are similar to ours..their tragedies could be our own. Never think of someone in cartoon terms especially someone like Michael. He deserved better.

What a beautiful memorial for your son, and deservedly so!! His music and creativity brought my entire family so much joy..the mold was truly broken with Michael's passing. Still can't believe he's gone. We miss him so!!
we miss the the music you gave to us and good luck to tiger in the future
i will always love you and never forget you
i will always love you and never forget you
miss your music!!
I fell in love with INXS when I saw the video for The One Thing in the early 80's. Just two weeks ago I bought listen like thieves on CD because everything else i own except for swing is on tape or LP. i still love the music and i only wish Michael was still here. This memorial website is beautiful. It honors his life in such a profound yet quiet way. Thank you for sharing your most precious memories with the world. Everytime i listen i think of Michael and hope that those who knew and loved him are being comforted by each other and their angels. God bless.
I have always been inspired by Michael and his music. I think about him on a regular basis and his family. I can't put into words how badly I feel about the loss of Michael. Michael was truly a spiritual person who helped me through a lot of tough times (and still does) with his words of hope and love. My family (including the pets) all love to listen to Michael & INXS. I hope he knows how much he is loved and missed. He's truly left a positive mark in this world.

Look I don't really know quite what to say about Michael Hutchence.
I was actually doing a project on Micheal for a school assignment when I stumbbled across ths memorial site and can I tell you I have spend hours just reading over all the precious memories that so many people had said about Michael. I wish I had of been fortunate enough to meet such a inspiring and beautiful person because by what I have read he brought so much joy into everyone's lives.
Thank you so much for this truely wonderful site, it is something you should all be so proud of because it really outstands Michael Hutchence for who is was and who he will always be.
Love Always Georgia

Dear Kell and Michael Hutchence fans,
I wanted to apologise for my previous message. I should not have mentioned INXS on a site that is purely dedicated to Michael. I am dreadfully sorry to those of you I may have offended. This was not my intention. I truly admire Michael - no-one will ever be able to replace his vivacity, charisma, soulful voice, his amazing presence as a performer and artist. He's a truly unique and special person. I hope this clarifies my dedication to Michael the performer and the man. Kell, thank you so much for making such a special memorial monument in Michael's honour for his friends and fans to reflect and pay our sincerest respects to him at. It truly is a spiritual place. Thank you. Take care.
With love always

Hi Kell,
I was in Sydney last week visting friends when I went to visit the beautiful monument in the North Ryde Crematorium. It was such a wonderful spot to reflect and pay respect to such an amazing person - your son Michael. I later went snowboarding in Perisher and was fortunate enough to see INXS perform at Jindabyne with Jon Stevens. I had never seen the band play live before so it was quite an experience. I was disappointed that I never got to see Michael perform with the band on their 1997 tour but this was truly a wonderful performance all the same.
Take care.
Yours faithfully
Bryndis

Hello!
The best groups in my life: Inxs, U2 and Depeche Mode. Michael was a great singer. He died, but his songs live forever...

I had always dreamed of being in Sydney for the New Millenium. My husband and I went, but the celebration was marred by Michael's death. I honestly could not stop thinking about his life and tragic death as I toured Australia. It's still hard for me to listen to INXS, it makes me teary. He touched so many, and is missed.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO OFFER MY PRAYERS TO EVERYONE THAT THIS WONDERFUL MAN TOUCHED. INXS WAS THE FIRST VIDEO I SAW. MICHEAL WAS MY IDOL. I WAS NEVER GOOD ENOUGH TO BE A MUSICIAN, BUT I SANG ALL THEIR TUNES WITH ALL MY HEART. I SAW THEIR LAST PERFORMANCE NEAR MY HOME IN PITTSBURGH, PA. MICHEAL WAS UNREAL. I STILL CANNOT HOLD BACK MY TEARS WHEN I HEAR HIS MUSIC, IT IS JUST SOMETHING ABOUT IT THAT GETS INTO YOUR SOUL AND LIFTS YOUR SPIRIT. I ALSO HAVE A CRUEL REMINDER THAT HAUNTS ME EVERY YEAR: MICHEAL PASSED AWAY ON MY BIRTHDAY, SO I ALWAYS HAVE A TOAST FOR HIM AND HIS MATES AND FAMILY. THANK YOU MICHEAL, YOU WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE FORGOTTEN. LOVE TO FAMILY AND BAND, PHIL.
We don't forget you, Michael!
Michael-forever!
Michael-forever!
“It's a hair thing!” God rest.
The memories will last forever.
