The lights go down, the music starts... He had the whole world beating to his rhythm
When it comes to a person like Michael Hutchence it's hard to know where to begin in telling everyone what a profound affect he has on people. I'm 15 years old and have been exposed to INXS's music my whole life. From what i have seen of Michael it seems like he has such a big heart, matching those big eyes. I wish i had met this inspirational man whose lyrics can draw every emotion out of your body all at once. My sympathy to his family, i'm sure he'll be looking out for you, smoothing out all of the bumps of life for you.
I was truly devastated when Michael died.I have been following the group since I was a little girl and I am now 17 years old.I just wish that this tradegy had not of happened as I know Michael will be greatly missed,by his fans but especialy by his friends and family.I also wish that I could of met Michael.Its ironic really as I had planned to go to their Elegantly Wasted tour,but Michael died before I had the chance.I remember the 22nd november 1997 well and never will forget it;I was slepping round my friend Helens house,when I heard the news on the radio,which put me into a state of shock.I just couldn't believe this cruel and harsh reality.Lastly I would just like to send my love and well wishes to all of Michaels family.Hope to one day still meet you Michael.Love Susan.
Michael Hutchence was undoubtedly the most physically appealing man I had ever seen. He had sex appeal like no other! He was my only “teenage heart-throb”, and his voice still gives me chills when I hear it. But he was so much more than just a pretty face. He shouldn't have gone so early, but his all-empowering beauty will always prevail.

For years I always wanted to see the band and Michael live and never took the time. Until about four months before Michaels passing I decided to drive to Las Vegas. I found out that they were to play at the Hard Rock Hotel at “The Joint”. I managed to squeeze my way to the front next to the stage and was mesmorized. Michael and I are the same age, but I found myself adoring him and the sound of the band like a little kid. Just at the very end of the show after the last tones and vibrations from the music, I could hear Michael say almost to himself and backing away from the edge of the stage, “It's all in your head”.
i'm a real fan of m.h. i'm really so sorry about his death. i want to know more of his life and affairs
I am so sorry for all his friends and family who loved him so...he was a beautiful man.His music made me happy at a time in my life when there was no happiness...he helped me to hold on until I was able to do so myself.When I heard on the news he was gone, I cried as if I had lost a personal friend.I hope the wonderful memories of him give you some comfort.Way too soon...way too young.Thank you Michael for the gifts you gave me.
I have loved Michael since I was 14 years old - he was so much part of my life. I used to even hang out at the hotels in Melbourne waiting for INXS' arrival back to their hotel room just for a glimpse and maybe even an autograph - which Michael so kindly game me in one of my tour books sold at their concert.
I was actually in the car with my husband when the news came over the radio about Michael's death. I was just in shock and then the tears came - it was like my brother had just died.
I rang my mum and told her and she knew I was really upset about it and she knew why, because he was so much a part of my life. She bought me a biography of his life last Christmas.
I have a son who will be turning 4 in December and I really feel for Tiger Lily losing her father so young.
I also feel for Kell who probably never gets to see Tiger Lily at all - I am sure Michael would never have wanted that to happen.
Michael and INXS have had a great impact on me and my life - I am really grateful for this website.

I wish I could find the words to express just what Michael and his music has meant to me. All that I can tell you is about the feelings that I get from INXS music. I, honestly, think that they have struck every chord of emotion that I have ever felt. Love, pain, passion, understanding, peace, enlightenment, and desire are just a few. For a musician to do that to another human being is what makes them a truly good musician. He was also a true poet who was fortunate to find equally talented bandmates. Together they influenced a multitude of people and because of that I will always be thankful.
Wherever you are, Michael, I love you and always will. God Bless the ones he loved and the ones who loved him, especially you, Tiger.

I think Michael's work still is really great and I'm so sad about his death.
THE NIGHT I HEARD MICHAEL LEFT OUR WORLD I WAS WAITING UP FOR MY HUSBAND TO GET HOME FROM WORK. IT WAS A FRIDAY NIGHT THE 21ST HERE IN THE US. I HAD JUST PUT MY DAUGHTER TO SLEEP AND HAD DOZED OFF WATCHING THE LOCAL NEWS WHEN I HEARD THE ANCHOR SAY THERE WAS BREAKING NEWS OVER THE WIRES THAT A FAMOUS ROCK STAR HAD JUST BEEN DISCOVERED DEAD IN HIS HOTEL ROOM. THEY SHOW A PIECE OF A TELEVISED CONCERT AND I COULD SEE THE FACE OF THE LEAD SINGER CLEARLY AND THEN HEARD THE NAME. I WAS SHOCKED AND I IMMEADIATELY PUT MTV ON AND FIGURED THAT IF THIS WAS TRUE THEY WOULD MENTION IT. THEY SADLY DID AND I COULD NOT STOP CRYING IN DENIAL. WHEN MY HUSBAND GOT HOME THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD SAY TO CONSOLE ME. HE REGRETED NEVER HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE HIM IN CONCERT LIKE I HAD. IT'S STILL VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO LISTEN TO HIS VOICE ON INXS CD'S WITHOUT GETTING GOOSEPUMPS. I HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN ABLE TO BRING MYSELF TO LISTEN TO HIS SOLO CD THAT WAS RELEASED THIS PAST FEBRUARY. I THINK I WILL DO IT ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF HIS DEATH AS A WAY TO REMEMBER HIM THE WAY HE WOULD HAVE WANTED TO BE REMEMBERED. I THINK OF TIGERLILY ALL THE TIME. I HOPE YOU FIND HAPPINESS AND COMFORT IN ALL THESE MESSAGES WE FANS SEND YOU EVEN AFTER ALL THIS TIME. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE ALL LOVED MICHAEL.
My life literally changed the day Michael died. I was on my way to my best friends wedding. The news came over the car radio and I was stunned. My heart ached. All my friends gathered outside the church were talking about it, we were all in disbelief. It took a couple of days to get over the shock, then the the day of the funeral came. I wanted to go to St Andrews Cathedral to pay my respects but I had children to pick up from school. I was pregnant with my fourth child. It was a very hot summers day. I stopped off at the chicken shop on the way home. The funeral was being televised and everyone in the shop was silent. We were all watching, I still not believing what I was seeing. Then the tears started. I left the shop sobbing. I cried all the way home & turned on the TV to see the funeral. There was a lot of negative opinion about whether something so personal should be televised but I can tell you it helped me to grieve. I still haven't been to the memorial. When I do I will take my 3rd child. She is the same age as Tiger. I think that contributes to my sorrow because Michael & Paula were going through the same things as me at the same time. The joy of carrying a baby, the birth, the joy they bring & now Tiger does not have a daddy. I would see the photos in magazines of how he adored her. I know it was a moment of poor judgement when he took his life because he would never leave such a beautiful little girl on purpose.
Love to you all Mr Hutchence.

You had a plan to make you a star, make you go rich, make you go far, may your shining star burn bright.
Long live the memory and music of Michael Hutchence.

I think it is amazing how many singers Michael influenced. I last saw Michael on Easter Sunday, 1991 in Salt Lake City, Utah, on the X tour. I sat with Colin Ellis during the whole show. Michael was ranting about people giving themselves limitations. I thought this was a very cool and enlightened energy he was propagating. In my interpretation of his work, Michael always spoke about the enlightenment of humanity.

I was very saddened to hear about the death of Michael.I still remember where I was--in bumper-to-bumper traffic on interstate 8, singing with the radio, trying to keep my cool as I inched along the highway. The DJ broke into the middle of the song to announce that Michael had died from an apparent suicide. I could her a faint tremble in the DJ's voice as she spoke in a state of shock and deep saddness. Tears slowly welled up in my eyes and I gripped the steering wheel as tight as I could in disbelief.
It is strange how one can become so emotional over someone they never even met, but Michael was the peoples' rock star. He projected more personality on stage, video and in his songs than any other performer I've ever seen.
I think one of my biggest regrets in life is not going to see INXS in concert when they performed here in San Diego. Now I will never see Michael or INXS. If only we could turn back the clock, I'd go to that concert, and Michael could maybe be saved by a family member or friend.
With much sympathy I would like Michael's family, especially his brother, to know that Michael is not and will never be forgotten by his fans. His songs will continue to echo in our ears as Michael's voice will continue to echo in your hearts.
God bless you and thank you for this opportunity to poor my heart out.
Michael, we love you!

I just wanted to say that I love Michael Hutchence very much and not a day goes by that I don't think about him. He was such a beautiful and talented man. Even though I never got to meet him or even see him perform live, I always felt close to him. It's strange how you can love someone you never even met before but that's exactly how I feel. He was the most perfect man I've ever seen. To this day I've never seen anyone so gorgeous as he was. I find myself comparing every guy I meet to him and no one's good enough but I guess I'll never find another Michael Hutchence. He was truly one of a kind.
Anyway, thank you for putting this website together!

My sympathy goes to Kelland and all Michaels family for their very sad loss. My thanks goes to Michael Kelland Hutchence for all the wonderful things he gave. For his special lyrics (demonstrated perhaps best in his solo album), his voice (it never failed him), his views (honest), his movie appearances (should have been more), his appreciation of poetry and life (an eye for art). For having real natural talent and charisma, for being different in a great way, his own way. I narrowly missed the chance to witness Michael and INXS perform live in 1997 which makes me sad, but I am thankful for all that he's given me and everyone else. Genuine talent and charisma, all backed with a kind open heart... He was unique and is sadly missed.
A fantastic website. My last memories of Michael will be when he blew me a kiss after an INXS gig at Sheffield Arena. I'll never forget Michael. He was The Best.
I feel compelled to leave a message in this guestbook but words just can't express the emotions that this site has released in me. I have been an INXS & Michael fan for well over half of my life & I still find it difficult to believe that he is no longer with us. I am simply a fan of a talented & beautiful man & my sense of loss is immense so I can't even imagine what his family & friends have suffered since that awful day almost 3 years ago. This site is the most wonderful dedication to Michael &, Kelland, you deserve praise & true gratitude for sharing your son's life with us. I have a 17mth old son with whom I am sharing your son's talents. I listened to INXS & Michael's solo recordings whilst pregnant & when my little boy, Caleb, was only a baby & every time I play the music now he bops around the room with a huge smile on his face. Michael has given me great pleasure since I was about 12 years old & he is now doing the same for my son. Michael's memory will last forever in our hearts.
I would like to share my experience of meeting Michael and and share my sympathy to his family and gratitude for this beautiful tribute to his very short, but very full life.
I had the priviledge of meeting Michael in Queensland some years ago. I worked for a promoter up there as a tour co-ordinator. I remember at the beginning of the Kick tour, sitting back stage in a tent doing some book work and this quiet unasuming character walking up with a drink backstage in the afternoon. Sitting down opposite me, I looked up to see Michael hand outstretched to shake mine. “Hi I'm Michael” Who are you ? “Hi I'm Aly”. I think he was intrigued, because I never approached him. That's just the way I have always worked around artists. As I have been inside many cars with artists, while fans are mobbing them and know how frightening and clostrophobic that popularity can be. So I have always waited for artists to approach me to say hi on tour.
It was a short tour and we spoke a few times backstage
Just a lovely guy was my ever lasting impression!!

a beautiful tribute to a talented man who will be forever missed.
This has been a wonderfull sight-I have been viewing this for many hours and it has given me some comfort. I have been following inxs/micheal since early 80,s, then got busy with my life and my family, when I browsed threw a magazine (dated 1 year ago) and as you can guess-there I saw Michael had died!!!!
I havent been able to get over this, I feel so very sad! What a wonderfull musician.
Now my children ages 4 and 2 love listening to his music and watching their videos. Just to prove he lives on to the next generation.

I have followed INXS since 1982 and became infatuated with Michael. When I first saw INXS in 1984, I was so captivated by Michael I decided I wanted to be a singer. I now have a successful singing career of my own and I owe it all to Michael. I love and miss him dearly. Best Wishes and Condolences to the Hutchence Family and INXS. MICHAEL HUTCHENCE R.I.P.
