Shine on Michael!!
The music of Michael and INXS has been and will always continue to be one of the brightest Shining Star's of my life.
Soooo many of the most endearing moment's of my soul have been at an INXS concert, as a shared experience in life that was all about the music, a moment by myself where I was all about the music, or a moment I will always remember because the music was playing in the background. I look forward to every day and the opportunities I will have to experience more moments.
Ever since the first days of my soul being moved by INXS and U2 I have dreamed that the ultimate moment for me - the ultimate music/song would be a collaboration between INXS and U2. I was so thrilled and touched when I found out that Michael and Bono were friends and had been friends for a while. I am so blessed to have been touched in my soul by Michael/INXS and U2/Bono. No one in the world would want for every single person in the world to be touched in their soul like I have been touched in mine by Michael/INXS and Bono/U2 - more - than me - if only for one day.
Thank you Michael.
Thank you Bono.
You have given me my ultimate moment!
Thank you Kelland for giving me and the world the opportunity to share in the memories of not only one of the greatest Rock'n roll Stars to walk on this planet..... one of the greatest souls!

At the last show in Pittsburgh PA, I snuck backstage to meet Michael. It has changed my life forever. and I feel that I love him as dearly as you(the family) do. His death happening on a Saturday, I was too shook up about it to go to school on the following Monday.The INXS shirt that he signed for me when we met lies in a frame now and never worn, I will be buried in it. Best wishes to the whole family as well as Kirk,Garry,Andrew,Tim, and Jon. Love you all. -natalie

It was a warm January day 1980 in Hyde park Sydney. I heard music and walked towards it and on a small stage what I now know to be INXS were performing. A good crowd of people had gathered to listen and some were dancing. After afew songs they stopped for a break and Michael came down off the stage to a small van. I approached Michael and asked “do you have a record on the market”? he said “no but an album will be released in about six months” I then asked the bands name and he said “INXS” So this was my introduction to INXS and I have been a fan ever since.
Micheal will live in the souls of those who loved him forever.
We Love You and we miss you michael
Michael captured my heart when I first saw him smile. I will never forget him. Why can't he still be with us?
Michael was an inspiration to us all, through his music.
I have so much to say and I hope you don't mind if I take up some space in your guestbook. First of all I want to thank you for your generosity in sharing this web-site with all of us. I remember the day after Michael passed away. I saw a piece on the news and just couldn't believe it. I ran to the computer in shock to try to learn more on the internet. I saw that Hugo Burnham, whom I had met through work in the music industry, was also logged on. Recalling their work together I sent him a message.. “sad day isn't it.”... he responded acknowledging what had happened. I mentioned how my friend and I had bonded in college over Dogs in Space (her son is now my godson)... he responded “he was my friend.” I didn't know what to say. The sadness that filled my heart was inexplicable and similar to what I am feeling now after having read through the site. Working in the music industry I grow afraid to admit to having been a fan of anyone... but that was no day to hide it. INXS had played a major role in my life for years. I tried to support Hugo but what could I say? Michael Hutchence had touched my life without having ever spoken a word to me. To speak with someone who knew him the day after his death was an honor and I did what I could to console him. Michael was one of the few people who I had never met that I wished to meet. I truly thought I would one day. Obviously it was not meant to be. I remember mentioning INXS during a job interview with Atlantic Records... and later working there and being so happy to work at the label which they recorded with. Being an art major in college I began a painting of Michael, the only famous person I ever painted (i liked to paint friends and anonymous models), the painting showed Michael at peace. I was playing with painting borders at the time and placed a border around him of the sky with little cherubs throughout it.
Having been in much pain as a teenager I found peace in music and mostly in the music of INXS. I like to think that they effected my life in a positive way. At 27 I can now guide myself, but as a teenager I wished for an older brother like Michael.
I don't mean to go on and on and I don't really know what to say. I am so touched by the generosity of this site. Michael is the only person that I've never met that I feel a genuine affinity with. So I'm going to be selfish now, because even though I know what I feel can not possibly compare with that of those who knew him, I'm going to say I miss the friend I never made terribly, and I wish I could have met him. He would have been a good friend, and there were many times I could have used a good friend with a pure soul. But I'm also going to say this, I got more support and good company from this man I never met, than I did from many of the people that I have known.

As I sit here crying my eyes out I realize how huge an impact Michael and INXS has always had in my life! All I can say is thank you , thank you, thank you for the words and pictures that only the family could show us. It meant alot!!! Stay young!

Enjoy the site very much brilliant. We treasure the 8mm film which took of Michael and the band back in 1980 at the Festval of Sydney in Hyde Park we watch it often. Keep his memory alive.
Kelland I love your son and the band so very much and I always will. And I also want to say I hope and pray that you are all doing well.
I want to share a poem with you I had wrote while lying in bed on the day I had herd of Michael's death. Even though I never knew your son personaly, but over the years I have grown a strong love for him and also the rest of the band. And not some crazed absess fan kind of love or whatever you want to call it. But a love that stands true. I care deeply for each and everyone of them very much and I care what happens to them.
And that's why I pray to God every night that some day I do meet them and I get that chance to be a true friend to them. And as you read this poem hopefully you understand how much he really means to me.
A dream I wish for, a wish I deeply wish to have.
Gone before my eyes,how fast it was taken from my hands.
A great man has died, that man I always wanted to meet.
Your gone now, my heart you'll always have.
I love you more than all humans minds combined and more than they could ever expand.
Death has taken you away,
picthures on my wall, images in my mind that's all I'll ever be able to see.
My dream is gone and there's no coming back.
The dream is gone, I have to face this fact.
Rest in peace, I'll always love you so.
It tares me up to know my dream will never come true.
I hope your in a better place now and things are good for you.
I know you never knew me and never knew how much I cared.
But I pray some how you know the way I felt about and the reason that I do.
With all my love always and forever

Sometimes when I listen to a song it reminds me of someone or expresses pretty much how I feel about something. Well I wanted to share a song with all of you. If I had gotten that chance to be there for Michael I would have been there for him any way possible(also for any of the other inxs members). This would be the perfect song to tell them how I feel from a friend going to a friend.So here it goes.
Oh, why you look so sad?
The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Let me see you threw cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do.
Nothing you could confess could make me love you less.
I'll stand by you.
I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you I'll stand by you.
So if your mad get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now.
And hey why you got to hide?
I get angry to.
Well I'm a lote like you.
When your standing at the crossroads and you don't know what to do.
Let me come along.
Cause even if your wrong, I'll stand by you.
I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you.
I'll stand by you.
Take me into your darkest hour and I'll never desert you.
I'll stand by you.
And when, when the night falls on you baby.
Your feeling alone, wondering if your wrong.
I'll stand by you. I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you. I'll stand by you.

Thank You Kell,for your loving memorial of michael, it has given me a website to visit regulary when i need to feel close to my adored,greatly missed, spiritual friend.God bless tiger lili and your family.
I had never been a big fan of INXS until I heard ,the song ELIGANTLY WASTED in mid 1997.Straight away I started to listen to more of their music and took a serious interest in their sound.So when I heard of Micheal's death it was a shock.Especially considering how intelligent,talented and charismatic he was as a person.I can ownly imagine how the past two years have been for the family and freinds who loved and cared for micheal so much. My deepest sympathys to you all. Micheal Hutchence will be sadly missed.
Kelland
I'm so sorry for the loss of Michael
I'm sure you must be griefstricken at the loss of such a beautiful son
I know Tiger will be in your heart at Christmas time but spare a thought also for Paula the woman he loved
She misses him dreadfully and still manages to be a wonderful Mum
Love her also

LOVE YA LOADS...CHIN UP! RUSS X P.S. WELL DONE AGAIN TO MARIO ON HIS SUPERB SITE.
It has been a little over two years now and still not a single day passes where I don't think of Michael.
I can only imagine how hard this must be on the entire Hutchence & INXS Families, including Tiger and Paula and her daughters. Michael was such a big part of all your lives and I wish I could relieve all the pain of his loss for you all. Ofcourse that is not possible and I know Michael would not want us all to feel sad now.
Everytime I see a picture of Tiger, I see Michael and I can't help thinking that he has left the world a delightful legacy - his daughter. Tigerlily is indeed a 'Beautiful Girl'.
Rest In Peace my friend!
You'll live in my heart for all eternity.

Dear Kelland,
I've been holding off on signing the guestbook, even though I have visited the site quite frequently. It's been hard to come to grips with the reality when it comes to Michael and I guess I am trying to avoid signing this as some kind of denial.
Kelland, I would like to thank you for the time you invest into this web site. I think you are an extraordinary father. We grief with you Kelland. I can't imagine how hard the loss is for you, especially you - since this was your son. I have never known Michael, yet I feel closer to him than most people I know. I met him briefly before a concert in Toronto, just 2 months before his death.
Please know that your son affected many lifes with a positive message. Hearing his distinct voice is sometimes the best part of the day.
Kelland, Best wishes to you in the new year.
Please make sure Tiger is in a stable and loving environment. She is such a reflection of Michael. She is just beautiful. All Michael...
