even though i missed out on the early days and the heyday, i recall the last few years of michael's life as if they were yesterday, despite never meeting him. his music has enabled me to find my place in the world. i can remember the very time i heard “original sin,” which remains my favorite inxs song to date. i was only about 3 or 4 years of age, but it left an impression on me. during my early teenage years, i was alone, scared, and saddened. i felt as though there was nothing left for me.
one night while at a desolate new romantic club, surrounded by a dying race, i heard the same song that had left such a remarkable impact on me 12 years earlier. as i shut the rest of the room out, i spun round clad in a black frenzy to those lyrics. for the first time in my life, i realized that i did have something to live for.
a few years later, i received word of the 20th anniversary tour from a friend. you could only imagine the smile on my face! i was thrilled to see that inxs was still thriving after their successful peak. a month later, i received the tragic news. i was crushed, but i remained strong.
a week later, i returned to the same desolate new romantic club, where hundreds of us gathered not to grieve, but to celebrate his life and his music. to remember the good times.
michael hutchence was a truly amazing individual. he will live on in my heart forever and ever.

What a terrifically wonderful website!
I am 28 years old, and was in high school when INXS “Kick” came out here in the states. The group were my personal heroes. Every song was inspiring to me and talked to me on an intimate level. I was very saddened that Michael left the world the way that he did, and too early, at that, but I'll always have his music. Thankfully!! What a beautiful voice... Thank you Michael for sharing your talent with us.
We love you!!

I awaited the Behind the Music all week and taped it this morning at 11 a.m., and will watch both reruns tonight! I must say that, even though the E special didn't offend me, Behind the Music was just as I thought it would be: Much better, more informative, and handle Michael in a caring and loving manner. Michael wasn't just the hormonal rock star who dabbled in drugs, as E loved to mention, and BTM showed just that.
The interviews with Kell, Rhett, Martha, and Bono were the most touching of the bunch, even though I enjoyed all of them. I was doing well until Martha broke down, and then that is when I started crying. Since I pre-ordered the solo CD and single to 'A Straight Line' and have received it, I got chills when I heard Possibilities and Slide Away. Even though the 'why' question will never go away, it was good to hear that many do not think Michael killed himself. Also, even though I haven't really painted a good picture of Paula in my mind, it was good to see that Michael, in an interview, talked so kindly of her, which changed my opinion totally, especially with the family photos and the one of him lying on the bench and her leaning over and kissing him. Such a picture wasn't as it sounds, it wasn't sexual, it was purely lovable. No matter what convictions I have for Paula, I really think Michael loved her and am glad that BTM showed that side, as well as Kylie and Helena.
Once again, another kudos to VH-1, I KNEW they would do a wonderful job showing the world the Michael we all love, the kind, sensitive, and warm man who could either make the girls faint or cry, or make the guys jealous, yet most of all, what a caring and heartfelt man he was.
To Michael, Love always...and to everyone else, make sure you catch the show if you haven't already! I could write a book on the show, but I guess I will end at this.
With love, Lindsay Caudill

Only had the pleasure of seeing INXS in concert two times, both in New Orleans. Best shows I've ever seen.
Thank you!

Very sad and a great memorial in celebration of Michael Hutchence.
Hi all. I have written here before and i know this sounds rude, but I need to know where the memorial is in NSW for when I visit..please let me know.....
To the Hutchence family & friends,
Thanks for a great website and all the good childhood memories I've had since the early eighties. R.I.P. Michael.

To the Hutchence family and friends,
I just want to say that this is an amazing tribute to Michael. I just spent the last 2 hours pouring over it, and I feel like I know so much more about him now. I believe he now knows how loved hw really was and is. I hope that the making of this site has helped Kelland and everyone else who contributed deal with their loss. Michael is and will always be missed. The world is a better place for having him in it.

The first time I remember INXS was in 8th grade. My neighbor was carrying Listen Like Thieves onto the school bus. I was hooked from then on. I had the greatest opportunity to see INXS in person twice. When Ziggy Marley opened up for his show in Milwaukee I was never happier. I still have the ticket stub, program, and concert shirt! Sadly, I was at the show in Milwaukee when he broke his ankle coming out of the hotel. A few weeks later, holding my unused ticket stub - I heard the news. I know that I will miss the music his future held, and always cherish the good times that his music gave me. Thanks for making this site - a fitting tribute to the man in leather....
This site is a beautiful tribute to Michael. Thank you for sharing your precious memories with his fans. May you be blessed.
Michael is greatly missed.

i always loved michael hutchence and and his music. it was indeed a tragedy...what happened...and i think if he did take his own life he was in a very tragic place in his mind and we all forgive him for that. i just wish he had chosen to something different whatever that may have been. we will always love you michael and miss you very much. god bless tiger lily.

I finally received my Michael Hutchence solo CD yesterday. It's wonderful to hear something new. I thank you so much for keeping this site up and current.
At the time of Michael's death I was 20 years old and it had a deep impact on my life but now, years later, after visiting this site it seems like just yesterday. Thank you for such a wonderful site! Tiger Lily, your father was AMAZING!!
Since my early teens(1987) I have been listening to Michael and INXS. Although it wasn't until July 1997 that I had one of the best nights of my life watching Michael seduce the adoring Glasgow (Barroland) crowd. Michael and the band were in top form. Michael was the only “superstar” that I admired, so you can imagine how I felt at approx 7.00am on the morning of Nov 22nd '97 when I heard that Michael had gone. Although I was gutted at what had happened, somehow it came as no surprise. He always seemed under pressure by the media to take a straight line, when clearly he did what HE wanted. I personally dont think that he meant to go, but then I am only a fan who didn't know the full story. It is a tragedy that what seemed to be such a genuinely caring person will not get to grow old with his beautiful daughter and bring joy to her as he did to all his fans.
Thanks for all the great tunes
See you soon.

It's sad that the world has only had one person with the talent Michael Hutchence had and that person is Michael Hutchence. Thanks Lord for letting us have him for as long as we did.
