This website is a beautiful idea, Mr. Hutchence, a very touching way to remember Michael. Thank you for sharing your personal photographs with us.
For the past few weeks I've been listening to Michael's album every day and I'm sure now: it's brilliant! My very favourite track is Flesh and blood, his singing on there is so beautiful and unusual.
Another song I love is Fear, funny how his music can still make me dance and feel good. But that's only when I don't take in the meaning of the lyrics. Because when I listen to the words Michael wrote, it's very upsetting hearing how he felt and knowing it's too late for anyone to help him.
To me Michael's album is a great (but sad) farewell gift, one that makes the feeling of loss even deeper.
I really hope the album and single will do very well. Wouldn't it be good if Michael had one more big hit record for the last time?
Missing you forever

The world will remember Inxs
One of the most beatiful men in the world tragically taken away. Horrifying to all those left to mourn. I send deep condolences to all those effected by the death of a legendary and compassionate musician that was Michael Hutchence. I also congratulated Kel Hutchence and others associated with the beautiful website that allows fans and other to take a journey through the life that Michael celebrated. It allows us to come to terms with his passing and celebrate and commemorate the life that was. A a life it was. Full of turmoil and much harrasment and criticism but when you look into the eyes of the adorably gorgeous daughter he created you realise what a legacy he has left behind. Through all his pain, pain that is so recognisable through some of his photos he managed to shine through and provide so many people with so much. He offered so much in his music, every word he sung travelled up my spine and really hit home as it did to so many others I'm sure. The web site is such a fitting tribute to a man that can only be described as a legend. It's beautiful creation really highlights his memory. While browsing it I managed to keep dry eyes although having a lump in my throat similar to that when I heard the tragic news of his death. Still to this day I can't bring myself to believe the news and believe that one day I will wake from the nightmare. It was when I clicked on the link to funeral when I lost control and salty tears filled my sorrow filled eyes. Despite having many clipping from the days, months even years after his death I still can't bring myself to painfully sift throught them, yet this website allows me to face reality and reflect on alife that touched me deeply. Michael was
Michael: so come ci si sente. È la prima volta che lo dico: ci sono andata molto vicina anch'io. Spero che ora tu abbia trovato la pace e la serenità che qui non sei riuscito a trovare. Con affetto, Lora
I have followed Inxs and loved Michael for as long as I can remember. I have had the pleasure of seeing Inxs 6 times in Australia and actually coming into contact with Michael on one occassion. Which is a great moment in my life. I am so sad for the loss of such a great man. He holds a special place in my heart and always will. This memorial is beautifully done. I have been sitting here for some time now laughing and crying. The music of Michael and INXS will forever be a part of my life. My love to him always.

I remember every single detail of the day Michael died. I was packing to go to Europe on an exchange and also listening to the radio. I remember every word that the DJ said at the time and I remember screaming and dropping everything I had in my hands. The rest of the afternoon was spent in front of the television watching live reports and hoping that it wasn't true. I have reports from Germany and Australia tucked in a folder. I still can't look at it without crying.
This website is the best of all the ones I have searched through. It shows the Michael that everyone knew and the pictures are all beautiful.
I listen to his solo CD and realise that this is the true Michael. Not a day goes by that I don't listen to it and wonder why.
Great music, great site and great man.

Hi,
I was overseas at the time and never got the opportunity of seeing the funeral for Michael. Thanks for putting it on the website. A great deal of wisdom was spoken at that gathering. All the best. Regards, Doug.

Although it has been almost two years since Michael passed away, I still have trouble believing that it is true. He gave me so much through his music and I feel a deep sense of loss, like as if he had been my very close friend. I will always carry his memory in my heart.
This is an incredibly moving tribute.
My thoughts and prayers go to all of the people who loved Michael.

I spoke to God in a phonebox on my way home “ he's well, all the pain's gone ” the storm ended when heaven called. REST IN PEACE MICHAEL......
michael, always in my heart and memories. love you and miss you.
Michael's music is with us forever to hit us to the core when we hear it. As Don McLean once said “This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you”.
Thank you for sharing this website with the world.
I haven't had the chance to go through it all yet, but I will be back to visit often.

This is a beautiful site, but I still find it hard to believe that Michael is gone.
I so much enjoyed all the different aspects of this site; they bought many memories flooding back. I was part of a group of INXS fans back in the 80's who used to go to every INXS show in Sydney (and often country and/or interstate too). We were obsessed about INXS! We used to go backstage, we'd hang out at the recording studios; a couple of us even visited Michael at his terrace house in Paddington on Christmas Eve in 1985. And he was always wonderful to us, charming and sweet and funny - I don't know if *I'd* have been as tolerant of us as he was if I'd been him, but that's the person he was. He always had time for you, and always made you feel like you were the most important person in the world.
I was so shocked and saddened when I heard the news that November, I cried for hours until my eyes were swollen and sore. I just didn't want to believe it was true.
I loved the music he made, and I really loved the person I was so lucky to get to know (even though only as a 'fan'). One of my favourite memories of him was one night at Rhinocerous Studios, as we were waiting for him in the hallway to arrive so we could have a chat and ask him to sign some things for us - he came leaping down the hallway, and just jumped into the air with this yell of “yaaaaahhh!”!!!
So very Michael. 🙂 He loved his fans.
He always had time for us.
Well, as I said, many memories from visiting your wonderful site. Thank you. 🙂

I have been a fan of INXS and especially Michael Hutchence since I was 12 years old. I remember going to a INXS concert in 1997 in Minneapolis and enjoyed it thoroughly. Michael Hutchence was a great singer, performer and was nice to look at too.
I have bought just about every CD and video tape made. I was very sad to learn of Michael's death.I am now 25 years old and still consider Michael Hutchence and INXS the best band of all time. His wonderful voice will always live on in his music.

I've just returned from a 3wk holiday in Australia. On my last day before coming home, I took a ferry across Sydney Harbour in the hope that somehow it would bring me closer to Michael.
As we headed towards Double Bay on this overcast & rainy afternoon, tears flowed freely down my cheeks. 'Slide Away' kept playing over and over in my head. I released some flowers into the cold water below as I whispered a prayer for my dear, beloved Michael.
His solo album is a genuine tribute to the true artist he was. And so, like the multitude of other fans around the world, I celebrate his life by keeping his music alive, whether on my CD player or as I hum the catchy tunes in my head.
Thank you for this beautiful and respectful memorial website. It is a wonderful tribute to the man he was: son, brother, father, artist and friend.
May his soul rest in peace.

Thank you Michael...
I am a professional poet and I would like to give to you as a gift from my heart, the most sincere sympathies and condolances at the sad loss of such a wonderful Aussie talent and spirit. Michael will never leave our hearts 🙂
In remeberence of Dear Michael!!
As we gaze up to the sky
Angels wipe the tears we cry
Saddened by our misery
Of others pain, too blind to see
As time does slowly pass us by
As we mourn, the tears we cry
A star now flickers in the night
The biggest star now shinning bright
So now at peace, my friend sweet sleep
Time will soothe the tears we weep
A man who's cherished and adored
Now stands beside the mighty Lord!

I grew up listening to Inxs. I have every album. Losing Michael was a tragedy, such an amazing talent lost. Thankfully we still have his wonderful music! That incredible voice!, the brilliant songs! We miss you, Michael!

I love the site. It's the most honest view of Michael I've seen.
I saw INXS on their last our and wrote a poem about Michael after the Cleveland show.
Is there an email I can send a copy of it to for considerationas a tribute?

I would also like to with my sympathies to the Hutchense family on behalf of those Canadian INXS fans. I have been a fan of INXS since my early teen years and I can remember when they were at the height of their career. Their music made me appreciate a style that was their own. Michael gave INXS life and gave his all for the love of music. Even though it will be 2 yrs this year, Michael, we will miss u dearly, as we have always have, since you departed from us. Rest in peace Michael.
Thank you so much for this lovely website in appreciation of the one-and-only Michael. I've been a fan for 10 years and have still not recovered from his loss. It was difficult finding information in the States, so I'm very grateful to discover this site and have the opportunity to read about all I've missed.
