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

Whomever it may concern,

I have a question. I was wondering if there is a e-mail address were I could write to Kelland and his family personaly without everyone one else reading on what I have to say.If so I would highly apprecaite it.

Sincerly your Biggest Inxs fan

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.

Written from the Pretenders.

With all my love always and forever your biggest inxs fan

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.

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

I hope you're finally at peace God bless you

The last 2 years have been very hard for Paula and Tiger

Paula has been so brave and such a wonderful mum to all her girls

I hope Paula can find peace of mind and happiness

The world was a much nicer and easier place for her when she had you by her side

This is a special message to Paula and Tiger. Ignore any nasty comments that have been made. Be strong be safe be happy

Paula Tiger have a very special Christmas and much joy in 2000

Love, care for & respect each other

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...

Monica Depta,

MAYBE HAVVE PASSED TWO YEARS SINCE YOU DIED BUT I THINK THAT A GREAT SOUL NEVER DIE

ANYTIME I HEAR YOUR SONGS I FEEL LIKE THERE A LOT OF THINGS THAT I SEE LIKE YOU BUT I ONLY CAN SAY THAT YOU NEVER NEVER DIE IN MY HEART

Pour commencer, merci à vous d'avoir élaborer ce site émouvant pour le fan que je suis. je fus très touché par cette visite. Je tiens à vous dire que j'ai passé des moments formidables de ma jeunesse lors des concerts d' INXS à Paris. Quel énergie sur scene !

Quelle osmose dans le groupe !

Michael rock star resté simple et communiant parfois très fort avec son public comme au zénith en 1996.

Mais mon plus grand souvenir reste un concert à Paris place de la république un 21 juin ou la foule a été transportée par la prestation!

Que dire encore de cette rencontre étrange pendant ce concert avec un couple de jeunes australiens en vacances à Paris avec qui nous avons passé le concert, qui était surpris de voir INXS adulé par les parisiens.

Alors merci encore pour tout cela, merci Michael, merci INXS and stay young.

Even though I am a young fan, only 18 I had the privledged of being introduced to INXS at a young age by my uncle. And I can remember listening to them ever since.

So when I heard the tragic news of Michael's death I was heartbroken. It saddened me a great deal because I never had any memories of INXS as many fans have. I never got the opportunity to see INXS in concert, I came very close to that though back when they did their last show in Canada and am regretting it greatly now for not going. All the memories I have are listening to them with my uncle when I was younger and my now complete cd collection. There have been many wonderful tributes out there to him, and I just hope that these will continue, and that everybody continues to think of him through the music.

On that fateful day in November we lost a music legend and I hope that one day I can be playing INXS for my kids and telling them the story of the greatest rock star ever! I wish to send my thoughts and prayers with the Huthchence family and with the rest of INXS even though it is two years later I would just like you to know that Michael has not left our hearts.

Dear Kell & Family & the INXS Family,

INXS were an integral part of my growing up. Every song conjures up memories of moments in my life. The early albums of high school and meeting my husband to be. The Swing will forever be my memories of Narara '84'. I was pregnant for three INXS concert's so all my babies have been to shows too. I remember Michael

at a concert at the Hordon Pavillion sitting on a stool because he'd hurt his ankle. Welcome to wherever you are will always be my memory of The Concert for life. Waiting for the Elegantly Wasted tour. Shattered. I could not believe it when I heard the news. I still find it hard to believe two years on. I could not believe the pain I felt, not just emotional but physical. I cried for I don't know how long. Not just for Michael but for Tiger, Kell and his family, Tim, Andrew, Gary, Kirk, John and for all us fans.

I've only just got the courage up to listen to the solo album. I love it. Tears and all.

Michael, I loved you with all my heart. I loved the pleasure that you and your mates gave me. Never has a voice given me chills like your or chills from the music that you all made. I know no-one else will do it again.

You were a once in a lifetime gift.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you.

You'll live in my heart forever.

My wife was just watching television and found out about Michael's death. I was in shock. Where have I been? Where was this news before? Michael and INXS really made an impact on everyone's lives. We never knew him, but he affected us. He entered our lives in another way. He will never leave us.
