Looking through the recent entries in the guestbook of this wonderful site (thanks heaps Kell) I would like to say I completely agree with Andy French from England. Elegantly Wasted was unfortunatley the last album by INXS any future work the remaining members of INXS do will not be done as INXS because the life force of the band was MICHAEL HUTCHENCE. The most respectful thing the rest of the guys could do now is to announce that INXS is finished and if they want to continue putting out new music it should be under the name of The Farriss Brothers or something else. Not to mention the fact that I am very disgruntled that the rest of the guys had not done anything in memory of Michael, just seems vey strange that we've heard nothing about the tribute album the guys spoke about. Imagine how many fans would be so interested to hear previously unreleased material of Elegantly Wasted etc. I just hope that they have their own reasons(I hope they're good ones) So it looks like no tribute album from the guys what a shame after 20 years together, and I thought they were like family. Hoping my comments are not misconstrued as INXS were a fantastic band all 6 members were special in their own way but Michael's velvet voice & haunting lyrics and stage presence(pure sensuality)were the spear head of the band as excellent as the rest of the guys were musically,they complimented each other, But Hutch was the ultimate. He was as they said a ROCK GOD Australia's only one THE LOVED ONE.
To you Hutch,
I hope you are chasing the angels up there, but going by your track record the angels will be the ones doing the chasing. Love & Peace Bro.

A great loss. There are simply no other words that are fitting enough to say that will enable me to pay tribute to this great man.
Love & Peace

Thinking about Michael and INXS always reminds me of my teenage years and how crazy I was about him. He was my idole. As I gained in maturity, I realized that there was much more to him than his good looks. He was a Great musician and song writer. I cried when I learned about his death and still feel nostalgic every time I think about him. Thank you Mr. Hutchence for letting his memory live on.
I think this site is a wonderful tribute to Michael. Being of similar age to Michael and having followed the band's career since the late 70's/early 80's, I feel so sad about Michael's death - at times I still find it hard to believe that he is no longer with us.
Thank you for sharing so much with Michael's fans - it is greatly appreciated.

i found this website purely by chance.On the day of Michael's death I was shocked and horrified beyond words.
I've grown up with Michael's(and the rest of the band's)music since I was about 16(I,m now 32)and feel like I have got to know him(and them) through their music,and like so many of the other fans that have responded to your web-site feel a personal loss.
This is a brilliant and fitting site to Michael's memory.It is dignified and respectful and I thankyou for setting it up
I listen to his music regularly,even more so now,and feel that he is still with us when I hear his voice,but it took a long,long time to come to terms with it(as I suppose so many fans do)even though most of us never met Michael.
I can't believe that the rest of the band are continuing on as INXS,Michael was INXS,and anybody else singing his songs just won't be the same.
As far as I am concerned,“Elegantly Wasted”is and always will be the last INXS album that was ever made
God bless you all,and peace be with you.
Love,
Andy.

“...You walked the longest walk
Talked the toughest talk
You were outside, something inside
Took away the words, want to hear again
You were outside, something inside..”
Michael, i'll never forget you
Talked the toughest talk
You were outside, something inside

Michael, i'll never forget you
I'm very like Michael.He was great singer! MICHAEL-FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cried when Micheal died. Such a talent lost to the world. I wanted more than anything to see INXS in concert. I love their music and his voice. What a tragic loss for all.
Michael, sometimes, when I read stories to my two beautiful children as they go to sleep at night, I think about you, your sweet daughter Tiger Lilly and about what might have been. I'm glad you got to be a father, sad that you won't be here (physically)for Tiger. I feel sure you were a loving and fun Daddy. When you died I felt as though I had lost a brother. I watched your funeral on TV and cried with my wife. As Bono sings in 'Slide Away', “you tore a hole in space”. How do I fill the hole Michael? I keep listening to your music!
I know nothing,
grow old,
look wise,
Never knowing 'til I die
But I'll keep listening...I'll keep listening.

May God Bless You Michael. Rest in Peace.

May God Bless You Michael. Rest in Peace.
Beautiful man; gentle, strong and large,
a gift shared with the world,
giving from his heart.
A voice of liquid gold,
words to touch your soul,
A heart so big, he gave it all,
Why God, did you let him fall?
He left behind heartache and pain,
so much emptiness, they will never be the same.
His spirit burns so brightly across the sky,
Why God, did you let him die ?
Love, happiness and joy he left for us all,
a life too short, but something did call.
In the eyes of a little girl, his soul does show,
Born from love, passion and hope,
his spirit in her heart will grow.
A heart so big and eyes so deep,
in love and courage, her mother will keep.
Gone in body, but never in soul,
his words left in hearts across the world.
One so special, spreading the word of love,
Keep him in peace, forever, above.

The voice of your son, Michael, has been the background music of much of my life (I am in my early 30's). There were so many wonderful songs done by INXS, songs that no other singer could bring into so many hearts and souls.
At my wedding in 1995 the song, “Not Enough Time” played in the background of the reception when our camera man captured my mother on video. She died two years later of a sudden heart attack, and each time I watch the video I hear your son's voice telling us there was not enough time - for her or for him. It's an incredibly spiritual moment and no one can tell me it was coincidence.
When I heard that Michael died, a part of me died with him. I grieved right along with the rest of his family, friends, and fans. It's hard to express the feeling of loss when the only thing you ever knew of someone was their voice drifting in across the radio - but it is a genuine loss indeed.
With his passing the world lost a person of great talent and beauty. I can only be grateful that his voice is only as far away as my CD case.
Thanks for listening.

dear mr Hutchence,thank you for this website,when someone like Michael dies we,the fans, feel lost,so to have somewhere to express how we feel is just great.I get really angry with the media and the way some of them portray Michael,even though i didn't know him, i do know he was a gentleman,a fantastic songwriter,singer,and above all showman,i seen INXS quite a few times in concert, and i have to say they were outstanding,it was always so emotional. When i found out Michael had died i couldn't breathe, i got on the phone to my friend and we both cried, we really felt we had lost a close friend, i can't even begin to understand how you and your family felt at that terrible time.But on a happier note Michael left us Tiger,what a beautiful girl she is, and i'm sure Michael is watching over her.One more thing, we also have Michael's music and brilliant voice to listen to, be proud and most of all be happy,Michael is in a better place where no one can hurt him,love to you and your family love SANDRA xxx
Just got online, the first thing I wanted to look for was something about Michael Hutchence and INXS but never for the life of me thought this would be the site i would be seeing. well i'm here now and i'll browse through. wanted to say to michael's family, be proud, he was the best. we still listen to his magical voice and will never forget the man that we saw in concert countless times in sydney and wollongong. love is beautiful.

Dear Sweet Michael...Everyday, from now until I die, I will think of you and miss you deeply. How is it possible that you have touched my life this way? You will always be a huge part of my life. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me (you know what i mean). Thank you for reassuring me that there is somewhere better for me. I owe you so much, Michael. And I know that one day we will see each other. You gave so much in life...and continue to do so in death. I love you so much Michael...I truly ache in my heart, stomach and from the bottom of my soul, for you.
I LOVE MICHAEL AND I ALWAYS WILL. I MISS HIM SO MUCH ALTHOUGH I NEVER KNEW HIM PERSONALLY, IT FEELS AS THOUGH PART OF MY FAMILY IS GONE. I WILL LOVE HIM FOREVER........
STAY YOUNG JUST THIS ONCE
STAY YOUNG JUST THIS ONCE
Well Michael if there is some way that you can read or see this. This is for you.
I've always loved you for the great talent and unique wonderful person that you are.
I've always rooted you on as I watched you from afar.
I've always wanted to tell you how special you are to me.And how you will always hold that special place in my heart.
To tell you how much I love and adore you.
To tell you that I would've been there for you weather you where weak or strong.
To be that friend to hold your head up high.
To take away any hurt inside.
To be there threw the good and bad.
To wash the bitter tears from your eyes.
To give you incouragement to help you along.
To love and cherish you for all that you are.
To always be there for you when things begain to get a little rough.
To be that friend to go out of my way to bring a smile on your face and to fill your heart with joy.
To be your friend till the end of time.
To be that friend to always be there for you no matter what the situation may be.
I'll always be there with open arms.
And when your all alone, don't you worry I won't be far.Just give me a call and I'm on my way there.
And on that night of dispare.
When things had finally gottin to much.
When the tears begain to fall and the frustration and hurt of the world came tumbling down you.
I would've been there to embrace you with all my love and to help you put the pieces back together.
To emerge you with words of comfort and to help heal the pain that lye within your heart.
To tell you don't waste your worries over the opinions of the ignorant and stupidity of the world.
But to focuse of the things that make you happy.
To focuse on the one's that truly love you, cause you know that they are the one's that will always be by your side.
To tell you to put this all to rest and start out fresh.
I know that you can make that change Mike because in my eyes you are the best.
You've conquered so much in life and I know that you can do it again.
And don't let No one tell you other wise. Just go ahead and push those people aside.
But now your gone Michael and kills me inside to know that your not here with us all.
But I pray that some how you know how much you will always mean to me.
And if you would've just given me that chance to be your friend there's no way in hell would I ever let you down.
And I would've always been that true blue friend there for you time and time again.
Michael I love and miss you so very much. May you rest in peace forever My shining star.
Love always and forever

michael era per me un amico che con la sua musica e il suopersonaggio mi ha fatto sognare.la sua scomparsa nel '97 mi ha lasciato un grande vuoto che da poco sono riuscito a ricolmare.
I will always miss Michael because of his wonderful music. His and INXS music has ment and mean a lot to me and it always will.
Thank you Michael.
Thank you Michael.
I want to say thank you, Mr. Hutchence, for allowing us fans to celebrate Michael's life in this very touching way, and share in your sorrow at our terrible loss. I am truly, so very sorry. I am however happy that through YOU, we can feel like a small part of Michael is still with us via this website. I think he would've liked that.
I have always liked the music of INXS, but became a much bigger fan around the release of Elegantly Wasted. There was something about Michael that captivated me and drew me in. I had intended to see them in concert next time round, but sadly I was too late and now my chance is gone. I just want to say, that although I love their music, it is Michael that intrigued me so and led me to read up on the band, buy the CDs and find out more about this incredible person's life. When I visited Sydney for the first time in 1999, I felt compelled to visit his Memorial and pay my respects to this man I never knew, but would very much have liked to have known. I only had 4 days there in total, but felt strongly about visiting his memorial and seeing Rose Bay. I sat there on the bench, thinking about him and hoping that somehow he could hear my thoughts and know my sorrow at his passing. It is a beautiful tribute to a beautiful man. I was so saddened when I heard the news and for reasons I can't explain, I still think about him daily and feel drawn to finding out more about him and his life. Aside from his obvious charisma and sex appeal, I believe it was his “gentle soul” which I've heard spoken about so many times that moves me the most. It's often seemed to me that the most special people in life are the ones taken from us too soon. He obviously was a very special person and has touched my life from afar, and continues to do so. When I listen to his music, I feel like he is still with us, and I believe he is. He had the most incredible voice and was an amazing performer. (thank goodness for videotapes) I wish we could turn back time and bring him back to us, as there will never be another like him, but I am grateful for all that he gave us: his music, his time and I believe a piece of his soul in every show. I listen to his music daily, and by the way, love his new solo work. He is awesome! If only he could've realized just how much he is admired and loved by all of us. It breaks my heart to think about it now. His little Tiger is so beautiful and precious. I can see her Daddy in those gorgeous brown eyes. She is indeed his legacy and through her a part of Michael lives on... as he always and forever will in our hearts.
Thank you again so very much for sharing Michael with us in this very special way. I hope you will continue this webpage with updates of photos etc. It doesn't lessen the sadness in our hearts but it gives us another opportunity to celebrate his life and come together as friends. I think perhaps he is smiling down on us from above as we continue to remember him and pay tribute to his awesome talent. Warmest regards to all his family and friends who loved him so very much. Please know that we did too! Lee

I'm sorry
we just wont you to know that we love mike and that we are stil listening to him we love is music for the last 20 years and we miss him you are good dad
I know how hard it may be when it's been two or three years and no one seems to remember, no one pays homage any longer, no one expresses their grief and sorrow and no one seems to remember. But I still do. I had a ticket in my hand for INXS concert but it was cancelled - due to lack of interest. A year after that He was gone. I didn't even have a chance...
What a great tribute to a great man. Just knowing that your talent will never venture to another song makes me sad. Being a dedicated INXS fan for many years and seeing Micheal and the band live many times, I still can't believe the greatest singer on earth is now making harmoneys in heaven. Miss your music, miss INXS. Until we meet in heaven, god bless you!
listened to his last ablum. I still don't think much of INXS, but that man could make music. This man, when I listen to his album, makes remeber how i
used (still do kind of) to feel. I listen to his music with the perspective like I was the person who committed suicide and made a record about it. This album is a REMARKAGBLE one.
