Michael...life is so hard,so cruel.

I hope wherever you are, that you have peace of mind.It is impossible to find it here. The world is crazy. The most violent and heartbreaking programme on the TV is The World News.

Sad...but true. Sorry, but im on a right downer today. I miss you so much........

Goodnight Michael....

Michael, Your music and life will always be a constant source of inspiration to me. Live forever.

I just wanted to say that this is a very beautiful web site. It's aspects (heartfelt, unique, and honest) sincerely touch the viewer's heart. Personally, I didn't even know who Michael was until 1997 (when my music interests diversified) as I discovered INXS. After learning more about his life and his music (and through this site), I can truthfully be positively affected by his life and sincerely saddened by the loss of him.

Thx, Hutch. You were the voice to the soundtrack of my youth.

I watched the E-Entertainment special on Michael's life and death and was very moved by it. I had been a fan of INXS in the eighties because there music moved me and inspired me. I lost a cousin to suicide and you always be asking the question Why did this happen? It always helps to talk and share feelings with family and relatives. If gives you strength and keeps the beloved's memory and spirit alive in your own heart. God Bless All. Peace Out, Margaret

I just stumbled upon this site and I must say that I am so grateful and pleased that Michael's father did this. It means so much to me as I deeply felt the loss of a man who brought me so much joy and happiness for so many years through his being and his music. I admired him and respected his talent. And when I first heard about his death two years ago my initial reaction was one of utter shock and disbelief. This could not be the same Michael Hutchence who always seemed so full of life and whose vibrant spirit shone brightly. But unfortunately it was him and my sense of sadness and loss was immense. Even though I never met him personally I felt his energy and life through his music and performances.

I miss him very much but his legacy lives on forever and his music is always there to comfort me.

Thank you to Kelland and the rest of the Hutchence family for their generosity to Michael's fans by doing this. It means so much.

Even though you have lost a loved one and the world a great artist, feel comfort in knowing that his spirit lives on and he will never be gone.

Michael is looking down smiling, for he has at last found the peace he was looking for.

God bless.

I found out about this site from news on a diffrent INXS website, I think that this site is a very special one

because it is dedicated to one of the most talented, and greatest singer, ever to come out of the 80's, and the 90's. It's just a shame that he die so young. My heart still goes out to the family of Michael Hutchence, and INXS.

Thank you to the Hutchence family for creating this wonderful memorial site where those of us who never met Michael can come and remember and show our appreciation for his enormous talent, his energy and his spirit which so abundantly flowed through his music. So much so that although I've never met him there is a sense that I knew him. The music of INXS is a huge part of my teenage memories. When I listen to their music, especially Kick, it is hard to believe that Michael is gone. His voice was so alive. I must say that when I heard the news of his death, I was in utter disbelief and I felt tremedous sorrow. I never cried. I couldn't bring myself to cry for someone whom I never met. Today is the first day I've ever visited this site. Ironically, I am at work listening to INXS: The Greatest Hits (I haven't listened to this cd in months) as I browse the site. For the first time, two years since his death, I shed tears, many tears. Maybe that's a good thing. Maybe now that I've released, I can listen to Michael sing and not shake my head asking why. Thanks Michael for the memories and the music.

Again, thank you to the Hutchence family. God Bless.

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!

Shine, Shine, Shine!

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.

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!
