I am so delighted to see this fitting and loving tribute to Michael. Like the many other guests to your Website, I miss Michael every day. I must say that the media coverage in the USA was minimal, and I view Michaels' passing as a worldwide loss to the music industry, a great artist, musician, songwriter, lyricist and vocalist-- always on the cutting edge. Thank you so much, Kelland. I am so pleased that other musicians are honoring him, as well as the music industry outside of the US. I love the family pictures, and of course honor your request of no copying.
I must tell you in parting that I have never seen any person that even closely resembles your Michael until I saw “The Saint”. Just tonight I once again saw Russian actor Valery Nikolaev on a television episode of “The Dream Team”. He looks SO MUCH like Michael. If anyone in Australia is even considering a movie about your son, they must consider actor Valery Nikolaev.

I can't believe it's almost been two years...I just wanted to say that INXS is my most favorite band, but it's still hard for me to listen to them without getting teary-eyed. On a more uplifting note, this Web site is truly beautiful. Thank you, Mr. Hutchence for taking the time to put it together 🙂
Michael hutchence...THE MAN...
Always was
And
Shall forever be
Love and Peace,baby xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Such a sad loss,I'm hoping that he's gone to a happier place.
It has been almost two years since Michael has passed, but I still think of him, almost daily. I have been a fan since I was 12 years old, and now, 15 years later I am still a “die hard”. I remember exactly what I thought when I heard the news almost two years ago. My first reaction was tears, and then I felt that a part of my life was over as well. Michael and his family will be in my thoughts and prayers now and forever.
Once again it is almost November 22, only it is two years later. I can remember 1997 as if it were yesterday and it all seems so clear to me, even though I cannot remember just how I felt the instant I was told. I can't believe so much time has passed, but most of all, just how far we have come from this. Such a beautiful site regarding such a beautiful man, all made possible by his father who loved him more than we could ever know. I love this site, as I have expressed on this guestbook twice or so, but I feel I must say it again. This site brings much solace to such hurt. I will be thinking of Michael in the next few days, as I do everyday, but moreover I will be mourning for the life of someone lost, lighting candles and thinking of what an impact one person has had on me. Peace and Love, Lindsay
I loved INXS from the very first time I heard them. They were a GREAT band, and will be missed, dearly. I fell in love with Michael, of course, the first time I laid eyes on him. He was the epitome of charisma, androgenous gorgeousness and graciousness. His voice was strongly masculine, sexy & sultry, with a rich Australian accent. I loved, and always will love his incomparable talent. I wasn't fortunate enough to know, or even meet him, but wish I could have. I'm certain he would have been easy to love! I sobbed when I learned of his death. I wrote a poem for him:
“Farewell To Michael”
With so much talent and ability,
he changed the world for you and me.
His charisma caused such captivation,
and gave us all a “new sensation.”
An Aussie accent, so divine.
His deep, rich voice....so very fine.
Writing lyrics and performing songs.
Forgiveness given for any wrongs.
He gave so much more than he ever took.
We, so fortunate to have a look,
into the life of one so rare.
His end was certainly far from fair.
He shared his beauty with us all:
and so many wonders, large and small.
To know him, must have been to love him!
Friends and loved ones speak highly of him!
They say to many, he was kind.
Now, leaving broken hearts behind.
Wish I'd had a chance to be his friend.
Wish I could have stopped the end!
A piece of Michael,left here on earth,
to which no one can ever put a worth.
A little “Tiger” to keep him alive.
We know part of him will always survive.
We “need you tonight” & wish you were here.
Our hearts will always hold you near,
in a place where you'll always be safe and free.
That place is in the memory.
No short poem can do Michael justice, but I truely hope this one touches you, and him. I still cry sometimes,because he had so very much to live for, and he died at the age I am,37. I'm having his song, “Freedom Deep,” played at my funeral when I die. It says so much about freedom from any kind of pain in life. It breaks my heart, especially for his little girl to not get to know what a wonderful, talented, handsome daddy she had. Thank goodness for pictures, videos, etc. Thank you for giving us a place to send our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Michelle Steil

How do I put into words what Michael has meant to me? The music of INXS and the incredible, soulful voice of Michael has been the soundtrack of my life for the past 13 years. I remember Nov. 22, 1997 as if it were last week, yet it is all such a blur. I felt I must have been going crazy grieving as I did in the months following Michael's death - grieving for someone I never met. But I think that is what brings us all together. He had such a warm, genuine way of inviting us all into his world - we FEEL as if we knew him. Two years have passed, and I still feel an emptiness in my heart. I am in love with his last gift to us, the solo album which bears his soul. Kell, thank you so much for this precious memorial site, and for blessing this world with such a bright, shining star for 37 years. The world is a darker place without his light, but his music lives on forever. Michael, we will never forget you...

This is a lovely tribute to Michael.
It's never failed to amaze me what an impact that he has had on me. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about him. I remember his voice singing comforting words to me during some of the worst moments of my life. It's like he was always there for me. I'm glad to say that I feel like he still is always here for all of us. Thank-you for creating such a sweet tribute to Hutch.
I'll be thinking of all of you on Monday.
Love, Mel

I had the privilege of seeing INXS on the “Kick” tour and I can honestly say that it was one of the best concerts I have ever or probably will ever see. His presence is sorely missed. I think of him and his beautiful daughter regularly. My thoughts will be with you all on Monday.
A beautiful tribute from a loving father. Thank you for sharing it with us. Hardly a day goes by that I don't think of Michael. Forever in our hearts.
It's been two years almost and I still think of him every day:<
The overwhelming backdrop to my life from age 11 to 21 was INXS. The only musician poster ever to hang in my room was of them.
The only word that ever comes into my head when I think about Michael's passing is “senseless”. Two years later, I still don't really understand. All I have is the music, and in that, Michael will live forever.
My deepest sympathies to his family on the second anniversary of his death. You have created a beautiful memorial for him. Thank you.

Michael- music to inspire, uplift, and chords that cry out the recognition of the pain, joy, and challenges of daily life. Thanks, chris.
thinking of michael on the second anniversary of his death.Prayers and thoughts go out to his family.michaels solo album has been played constantly in my house over the last couple of weeks.Its a great album but in light of what has happened,some of the tracks are really touching(FLESH AND BLOOD,SLIDE AWAY)Hope INXS will stay together and release some music in the future.
Will be thinking of you on Monday. Your courage is immeasurable.
Although I never met Michael personally, I saw INXS in Perth in April 1991, it was fantastic. Very
memorable because I went with my brother (who is quite conservative).
However he was going crazy and even
put me up on his shoulders so I could see better, but I got busted by the bouncers and had to get down.
Michael put out such simmering energy
that he lifted everyone at his concerts.
In the week before Michael died, I kept getting thoughts of him coming into my head and so did my husband. I
have always been a fan of Michael's
but my husband wasn't, so this seemed
quite strange. I cried for three days after his death, even though I didn't know him, but Michael gave so much of himself to his audience it was like you did know him. Even though he is not here in body, his spirit and his memory will be with us forever.
Thankyou Michael for being yourself.You will always live on in our hearts.

I was big INXS fan in the late 1980's through the early 90's. Then, being a grown-up and a Mom took over and I didn't have much time to feed my love of rock music. I was very upset when I heard of Michael's death...It touched some deep part of my soul that I hadn't even known existed. The first time I ever saw Michael on TV, I was struck by the look in his eyes. I remember thinking, “He's an old soul, you can see it in the knowing look in his eyes.” I think of him often and I believe he has found his peace...We will see him again someday. I'd also like to add that this is the best memorial I've ever seen. Truly beautiful. Like Michael.....
i am happy to be apart of this guestbook, cause it pays tribute to a legend that will never be forgotten...
Micheal Hutchence will always be by my side until the end of time. thank you for all the memories

Thank you for sharing your precious memories of your wonderful son with his legions of fans. I want to say that some of the best memories I have are those of getting together with my best friend Diane and going off to see INXS play at St. Andrews Hall, Meadowbrook, and finally, the Palace. Now we get together and watch his old videos and cry with disbelief that we he's not here anymore. As I told Diane, the one consolation in all this to me is that we never have to see watch Michael grow old; we never have to wonder 'whatever happened to...' and we will always remember him as he was when he left us - - young, talented, and beautiful. Thank you for bringing him into the world to share what little time he had here with all of us.
MICHEAL WAS THE BEST THING EVER, EVERYTHING THAT WAS ANY THING WAS MICHAEL. ALL THE BAND, AND EVERYTHING ALL COMPLEMENTED EACH OTHER, MICHAEL WILL BE VERY SADLY MISSED, WE HOPE THAT THE REST OF INXS, MAKE SOME MORE MUSIC TOGETHER AT LEAST TO KEEP THE NAME ALIVE , ALSO THE NEW ALBUM WAS FANTASTIC,
I absolutely adore the solo album. “Possibilities” is the most haunting,beautiful song. I can almost visualize what the videos might have been like. I can see him singing the words. You feel his energy through the tracks. He's always in our hearts.11-22 will be difficult.
We should care for us .we should catch if we might feel we're falling .And there are many people falling nowadays. Remeber his soul and his love . Thank god that he's been here with us .
