Guestbook

I'm a musician who is still so inspired by Michael. Not only for his musical capabilities (wow!) but also by his grace and, indeed, all of his excesses,too.

I grew up with the music if INXS and I thought Micheal a very talented and beautiful person. I was very sad when I heard the news of his death. I believe that Micheal will live on in the minds of all of those who loved him, such as myself.

The world is very lucky to have given the spotlight to such a wonderfully awsome person.

Thanks for all you have done Mike, and band.

Kelland, I have to praise you for making this such a beautiful webpage. It really shows the bright side of Michael, which the media never showed a lot of. I want to share a memory that is still so vivid- like it was yesterday. It was July of 1984, I was 12 years old- INXS were on their tour w/ the GO-GO's for 'The Swing'. I had been a fan ever since 'Shabooh' was released...and just HAD to see them live- so my best friend's mom took us to see them at the Dome Arena in Rochester, New York. We got to the front row- and I still remember the incredible stage presence Michael had. So vivid----them ripping into MELTING IN THE SUN. That stands out more than anything!!! I had this pair of black sunglasses w/ little white specs all over them- I handed them to Michael and he wore them during about 1/2 of their set. Well, I was 12, and that's what 12 year olds do....give their idols things. and that was the coolest thing ever - to have Michael wear my sunglasses. Now, at age 28, I still love INXS as much as I did when I was 12. I took pictures from that show, and still have them- I'd love to share them w/ everyone. I grew up listening to INXS- and how much I miss Michael's voice. As I am typing this, I am wishing I could find my Underneath the Colours album....it's in one of my numerous tape boxes that I haven't unpacked since I've moved. I so badly want to hear Horizons...that to me is one of the most awesome, and moving INXS songs.

I miss you Michael----you will always be in my heart. SHINE LIKE IT DOES....

*Kelland, my hugs to you, as you did a mighty fine job on this site! Just like any proud father would...Peace/Love, Cheryl

I remember clearly where I was when I heard the news. I turned on the tv, and closed my eyes... pretending it wasn't true. I'd have to say that his untimely death was the most influencial thing in my life thus far. He had a special gift. I wish I could've met him. This is a poem I wrote shortly after his death:

a life so fragile
like the wings of a butterfly
balanced so precariously
on the edge of the world
to fall at any moment.

extinguished by the hands
it has grown to recognize
as it's own
the self that was trusted
has so quickly turned
the other cheek

But I still see it there
in the wings of a butterfly
balanced so precariously
on the edge of a world
that has fallen out of reach.

Thank you for such a beautiful webpage celebrating the life of one of the most amazing and unique beings that ever existed.

What a beautiful way to remember a beautiful person. I saw Michael in concert 2 months before his death, and it was the most incredible experience. The reason: Michael invited any fans who wanted to to come up on the stage with him and the band while they performed. He was so free, and so open to people...even fans could see that without knowing him. His music and his memory will live forever.

It's been over two years since Michael passed away and I still feel emptiness inside me when I think of him. He was one of the greatest musicians of all time. You will live in my heart forever. God bless you, Michael. daniela

I miss you

MICHEAL, ALWAYS IN OUR MEMORIES
ALLWAYS IN OUR MINDS,

i think michael was a great singer and he is defintley a favorite of mine im listening to him right now as a matter of fact : ) best of luck and god bless

I have just a tiny obsession with Michael Hutchence*L* but I know no one here can blame me. Living in Newfoundland I'm out of the range of most concerts, and being only 16 now, I haven't been allowed to travel to any of the INXS concerts, and it really hurts knowing that I will never get to see Michael in person (I don't mean to sound selfish,Michael will live on forever). To all those who knew and met Michael in the past i think of you as some of the luckiest people in the world and people like his family, band members, Bono are keeping Michael alive in spirit, by all these tributes. Also Michaels solo cd has not been released here yet : ( but only 19 more days, I'm already lining up*L* None of my close friends share my intrest so anyone who would like to share their experiences with Michael and INXS I would LOVE to hear about it, my email is sheenapower@hotmail.com.

Thanks

Thank you so much for the wonderful celebration of Michael's life. He may gone from this life but his spirit will live forever through his words and music. His solo album is an amazing representation of his great talent!

i was very touched when i saw your memorial website not only because i lost my father two weeks ago. it's hard to believe that a beloved person won't come back again although i had at least the chance to tell him all the things i wanted to. time goes by, and you don't have bad memories about the person you've lost. however, life and death are strange things and maybe it hits us hard because we all live mortal lives.

i wish you all the best.
