Guestbook

It's so amazing to me how well I know you for never having met you...well, not this time around, anyhow.

You still come to me in my struggles, in my joy, in my dreams. You may be gone, but you are surely not far away. You were haunting in life and you are haunting in spirit - in the best of ways.

I still love your soulful eyes and your silken voice - mostly because they reflect your endless heart.

You were a singer and a poet, but especially a visionary. Do not fret, there are still those of us who hold fast to the picture of how God meant the world to be...

Yes, it is exhausting work. Lie down with the angels for a while, Michael. Get some well-deserved rest.

Love You,

Kael

will miss

I have visited this site many times and have wanted to sign the guestbook and tell you how wonderful it is. I just never know what to say so, I have finally decided to put this entry in. Michael touched my life as he did others. There isn't a day that goes by that I do not think about him. I feel that his spirit is with his family,friends, and fans. He will forever be in my heart. Greatly missed and never forgotten. I will always be a INXS fan. Peace and love to all who love and adore Michael as I do.

Something strange affected me when I heard of Michael's death and it was only then when I really took a real interst in his life and music. I really feel we lost someone special but the memory of michael will live on forever. I feel that he is looking down on myself and eveyone and that even though he is not here in body, he is here in spirit. Thank you Michael for everything that you gave to us.

Just a few words about my care and gratitude about Michael Hutch... the music he wrote and sang....has really helped me along the path...and i know he is in peace.... i saw INXS back in the late 80's... in arizona..and think that their albums through the 90's have been only progressivly better.... i dont hold with those who say they were an “eightys phenomenon...” which they were...but not limited... i , among many others...eagerly awaited there next album.... each time... so heres to michael and the boys... music and memories live on forever... thanks

I was lucky to see INXS in Boston, mass. in the year of his death. The tour was ELEGANTLY WASTED!!! The band was playing tight and sounded unreal!

As Michael mingled with the audiance like he always did, I was 3rd. row and center watching him in the balcony and comming back to the stage,I GAVE HIM A GREAT BIG BEAR HUG,and told him BOSTON LOVED HIM AS WELL I DID!!!!!

He said “THANKS MAN” AND HUGGED ME BACK!! I will never forget that moment of paradice in my heart!! the Boston Orphium theater was just small enough to see the band up close,but I had no idea I would be that close!!!

MAY MICHAEL HUTCHENCE SING WITH THE GRACE OF GOD FOREVER!!!LOVE YOU MIKE,

“ B I G J I M ”

Thank you to all responsible for making this the most enjoyable, informative, interesting site I have yet to visit.



My memories to Michael and INXS begin

1982'ish a friend who had just returned from a trip to Sydney to Perth, was raving about this band he had seen in a pub -INXS - what an excellent name I thought, who would have imagined just the incredible worldwide success they would achieve.



I had always enjoyed following their music but the highlight was when I witnessed INXS live in London '89'ish and to see Michael perform live was to be amazed, his energy and karisma were something I think you really had to see to believe. He had it! I am so grateful for that priviledge of seeing him at his best, doing what he obviously loved singing live. I felt so proud to be Australian he was world class.



Thanks for the memories over the years. I will always think of an INXS song and remember where I was, who I was with etc. We all grew up together - how nice it would have been to have all grown old and grey together and complete the journey.

Good night sweet Prince and may flights of angels bring thee to thy rest.

Perhaps this is not the place to say this. I suppose you should never believe what your read in the tabloids. But there does seem to be a lot of internal squabbling within the family and with Paula Yates since Michael died. (Again this is all just an impression I get from the media which may be completely inaccurate).

If that is the case..I urge you all to make amends. It will not be easy. Mr Kell Hutchence seems like a wonderful man who is completely devastated by his loss. But it is so important not to let any animosity creep in.

As a media watcher I have “known” Paula for years. Of course I do not really know her. I only know what I read about her. In her defence I will say that she is probably one of the most maligned women in Britain.

She and Michael were persecuted as a couple. Of course I cannot say that without admitting that at times Paula invited the press in to her life. She has a love/hate relationship with the press....a talented woman who has been overwhelmed by all the media attention she has received.

Michael was undoubtedly attracted to her quick wit...heaven help them both. It is one of the biggest ironies of their relationship that the english press hounded Paula for cheating on “Sir Bob Geldof.” (The English press doesn't give a damn about Bob...it just served as a saint/sinner analogy).

Everything is in black and white for the tabloids. Paula and Michael equals bad..Bob is elevated to sainthood. The whole situation was depicted in cartoon like terms with nobody really receiving a fair hearing.

Of course not that it was any of our business anyway.Nor is it really up to me to urge the family to make amends!!

The most important thing is that Michael will live on in our memory as a talented musician who had a short but fruitful life.

May all those who were blessed by his love gain solace in his memory. May Tiger grow up to respect her fathers legacy....and may Paula get back on her feet..write a best selling novel. Project her energy in to a worthwhile venture and make those tabloids eat humble pie!

Thank you for the site Mr K. Hutchence. I hope my comments will not anger anyone. I really hope to be a source of good in my own small....small way!

Warm greetings to you all... Mario, Jacky, Ange, Dennis, Mr Hutchence... (sorry if I left anyone out)

First I would just like to pass my congratulations onto the Hutchence family for the acheivements of late. That mural at the Hard Rock Cafe sounds breath-taking, and most certainly an honour well deserved for your beloved Michael. You must be very proud. I was in Sydney back in May for the Tim Rice/INXS shows and it was such a pity I had to go home before it was unveiled. Hopefully I'll get back soon to see it.

Secondly... great work on the site people. Thankyou to everyone involved for bringing us our own Michael Hutchence fan club... to do something as magnificent as this for us is a long-standing committment and expression of deep love and as a fan I am truly grateful. If you ever need any help let me know. It is the least I can do.

and now... here is a little something that was composed for Michael less than a hour ago. Through this wonderful technology of cyberspace a group of fans were talking about the new fan club when we decided to combine forces. This is the end result of a collaboration between myself, Nancy (Searching) and Marty (Lacavocal).

“Reminiscent of a Dream”
I watch you from afar
a distant figure up on stage
touched the lives of many
through the gift of your sweet sound

The music's got the rhythm
life pulsing through my blood
the lyrics got the soul
that will take me up above

Though you never knew it
you've held my heart in your hand
washed away this pain of mine
eventhough you were just a man

your words are an inspiration
they see me through my life
the sound, a new sensation
that fills my heart with pride

Now you are with the angels
watching us all from above
our faces misted with the dew of tears
for this star-crossed love

Your soul is like a shooting star
that is shining oh so bright
the sun's sweet rays will come on down
and take away the night
~~~~~~
Thanks,

Love Danielle (and care of Nancy and Marty too, who send their love)

I just wanted to say that the INXS music and especially his solo album helped me a lot when I was going through a really difficult time of my life and I'm really thankful for that. I spent the last 7 months traveling through Oz and I listend to his music a lot during my trip. Ofcourse when I was in Sydney I visited his memorial side, that ment a lot to me as well, so that I could kind of thak him aswell! I will keep listening a lot to his and their music and especially his songtexts are important to me!

Thank you for this website! And all the best in the future!

They say that time heals but I still look up at the brightest, shining star at night and think of you and how the world is an emptier place because we have lost you...

I only met you but once and that was even a chance meeting - if truth be told, I never was a big Inxs fan but after meeting you, I came away thinking what a truly beautiful man...I don't mean beautiful in the physical sense but a truly beautiful soul!

I truly hope that you have now found some happiness and peace in what seemed to be a very troubled life towards the end...rest in peace always dear Michael, you were truly a gentleman and very much loved and treasured by everyone who had the absolute priveledge of knowing you...

Australia will always miss your contibution to the music scene here and I know that Inxs will go on but it'll never be the same again......

I used to have very good sensations with Michael's song, i still have them. We could never forget him.
