My heart is so full and my eyes are so moist, I can hardly breath. During the early to mid-eighties, INXS entered my life and I was never the same again. I too am a singer/songwriter and poet and I remember the first time I saw the band on MTV. I was a teenager, in a blah sort of mood, and suddenly there was Michael's face, close-up to the camera. The first thing I remember feeling at that moment was how warm and emotional his eyes were. I just gazed at him and felt as if I knew him. I quickly lavished myself with every album I could find of INXS and soon became one of the most devoted and loving fans they will ever have. Fortunately, years later I finally met the band by accident in NYC during the “Calling all Nations tour - summer 88'. Michael, being the front man, was ofcourse the most in demand by the fans. When I finally met him, I could feel how real and charismatic he really was and posessed such a boyish quality about him. His soft spoken voice made him even more adorable. He was never just a rock star in my eyes. I met the band several times again until 1993 when they played at the “Academy” in NYC. I gave Tim Farriss my first demo and he showed his appreciation by giving me the most loving hug. I met Michael the very next afternoon in front of the hotel the band stayed in as I was to have lunch with a friend who worked there at the time (never for one moment believing it would be my last time seeing him in person) for a quick photo. I remember, the tour bus was behind me and out comes Michael with his usually dishevelled hair, wide bottomed denim trousers and a denim jacket wearing his funky prescription sunglasses. I wanted so badly to tell him how much he enriched my life as a singer/songwriter and a person, however I was too shy to speak-up. It was raining that day and I lifted my red umbrella so he and I can stand under it, posing for a photo. He not only exuded sensuality, he also exuded so much warmth and genuine love. He felt like a cozy, fluffy blanket around my shoulders. He left me with his God given smile, you know how his eyes just twinkle whenever he smiles and his teeth barely showing like a little boy's mouth with bright, glowy cheeks. I wish I had the courage to tell him just how much he impacted my life with his voice. I felt I really understood him, (only God knows why) and never really spoke of that to anyone. I want to tell him now that a shy yet talented girl in NY loves him and misses him terribly. I also want to tell him that his true loving spirit and giving nature was clearly felt and understood and appreciated. I was not able to cry at the time learned of his death because I was too angry and stifled emotionally, however, I can and will cry today and in the future whenever I dive into my sweet memories of him or play my INXS albums, it makes me feel good.
Mr. Kelland Hutchence, you have no idea how cathartic this is for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to tell you, his father, how much your son meant to me and so many, many other people. You are very lucky to have him as a son (not had, but have), his presence and his voice left an indentation in my heart while he was alive. Now, his spirit lives for me. There's a lovely spot in my heart for Hutch. I know he's watching us down here with that adorable, childlike, twinkley smile of his. I look forwad to jamming with him when I reach paradise (not for many years, ofcourse) Until that time, we should continue to celebrate his life and legend as we move ahead with our lives. He knows who his friends really are.
My heartfelt gratitude to you, the Hutchence family and everyone else who made this memorial website possible. God bless you all, especially Michael's little twin, Tiger Lilly.
Yours Truly,
Katia Floreska

Loved your site, it has a very intimate feel to it. I will be a regular visitor.
I too was and still am devastated and in a state of shock over Michael's passing; through sites like yours I feel as though he is still here with us and it brings some comfort.

I had the honor of seeing Inxs the summer of 97. They played at pine knob in the planetfest. It was the last concert that I saw with my sister before she moved. It was a very moving experience. I will never forget how I felt when I heard of his death.
Michael will be missed by all.

THANK YOU so very much for this website. I have been waiting for some info. on the release of the solo album and living in Orlando, Florida makes it really hard to keep up on whats happening in Australia. And from the bottom of my heart I would like to thank you for sharing with us your personal photos and thoughts. It really means alot. I met Michael 8 weeks before his passing . I waited 13 yrs. to meet him and it is definatly one of the best days of my life. He had a very special gift of touching people. I would be more then happy to send you some of the photos taken that night if you would like. I would also like to thank everyone who worked so hard on the website. With Love, Paula
He will always be sadly missed.
It still brings tears to my eyes to listen to INXS. Michael was truly an amazing singer. My heart was filled with sorrow when he left us. I saw U2 a few days after his death and Bono dedicated “40” to Michael. It was very special to me to see Bono cry and know that Michael meant so much to him too. He will be missed by many people.

The guy was a great front man. I remember seeing INXS with my brother in Sheffield June 1997. It was a superb concert, 5 months later I remeber hearing the news of his death on the radio. I was stunned.
A great loss
A great loss
I remember a concert held at Cobo Hall in Detroit in the late 1980's I had the privilege of being in the front row for this show.
During one of the songs, Michael knelt down and grabbed on to me. I can still feel his hands and hear his voice and feel his breath on my face.
I am so sorry that he is gone. The music of INXS is a part of my life.
Michael - we miss you!

para mi Michael hutchence es uno de los mejores cantantes de este milenio.él fué para mi inspiración para lo que hoy soy como persona.sus canciones me formaron el caracter que hoy tego.adios amigo Michael .nunca te olvidaré.gracias por todos los momentos felices que me diste al escuchar tu musica.all inxs for ever.
I would have never thought that a web site could do a tribute to Michael Hutchence justice ... I am happy to say that I have been proven wrong after visiting this moving tribute. I feel especially lucky that INXS was the first band I ever saw in concert at the age of 14 in July of 1988. I was fortunate enough to see them several times after that, the last being in September 1997. The news of Michael's passing moved me, as it did so many others. Listening to the music of the band that I feel like I grew up with, though, leaves me with nothing but happy memeories.
i love INXS and have followed their music since 1986. Michael is gorgeous and sexy and crazy like me!!! I waited for tickets in the freezing cold the winter of 1993 to see them in a small club in New York City. I never stopped dancing once the whole show.... oo-lala!!!! I cried when he died and miss new music by the band>>>>> i hope he is having a blast in rock and roll heaven and wish us all well. peace and love love love xoxoxox elizabeth >
Michael, thank you, thank you, and thank you for the INXS concerts in Buenos Aires (January 22, 1991 and March 4, 1994).
I miss you and will always miss you.

Always been a fan of INXS since the early eighties; saw the boys one in 93, playing “Rock am Ring”: remember “Don't change≴ (Last song) very much; recently taped a bootleg called “Dirty hearts in Santa Monica” from the 93-tour, which is pretty much the show that I saw; can't get the melody of “Don#t change≵ out of my mind - and that's ok, because it helps me to keep the memory alive. God bless you Michael.
this is a beautiful site.
I love the site and thank you for sharing your pictures and memories of Michael with the world.
I still miss Michael, and I know I always will. God bless you and thank you again.

Mr. Kell, I can imagine that it is a great satisfaction for you to see how many people love and remember your son... Be sure that many of us will never forget him for his legacy is written in every life that felt the message Michael gave through his music. I am a big INXS fan and I admire Michael for the way he expressed himself and let the world know a little part of him...
Thanks a lot...

I have never been so sad to hear of an artist dying as I was to hear about Michael. I had just seen him in concert at Pine Knob that summer and almost got close enough to shake his hand. It was so exciting. I have seen INXS four times, more than any other group. They never made a bad song and I think it was a group effort, but I was just in love with Michael's voice. He really took away something special and I have grieved. It is so sad that our world is a place where people don't want to stay sometimes, especially when they seem to have so much going for them. My heart goes out to his family and especially his little girl. She would have had some of the best lullyabyes sang to her in the world because her daddy had such a remarkable voice. I have tried to finish collecting all the rest of the INXS music I am missing, which isn't much, but I can't seem to find a lot of it now. Some of the early stuff especially. I just wish I would have been able to shake his hand that night, he was so pumped about the response the group was getting from us. We were so excited they were making music and touring again. He will really be missed by me! My kids witnessed how much I went crazy for this group, so they know! Love, Tammy
What a beautiful tribute site. A truly tragic loss of such a talented, enigmatic and dynamic man. He will always be remembered. Thank You.
ære Michael og familie.

Flot, flot side. Hvor har den dog v?_ret savnet. Fedt initiativ. Den nye plade er kanon, der er fantastisk endelig at h??re Hutch stemme igen.
Aldrig vil jeg glemme INXS, der uden sammenligning er det st??rste band. Vi vil savne jer, men lad nu v?_r?? med at finde en ny sanger. Der vil aldrig v?_re et INXS uden Hutch!!.
Michael, du vil altid v?_re i vores hjerter og forbliv ung.

I love you Michael your gone but not forgotten.
literally
he ran into me
on a busy street
he said i had the most
beautiful eyes he'd ever seen
with a power i have never since met
i was rendered totally speechless
his energy passed right through me
& sealed forever with just one kiss
my soul forever changed
i fear to admit the stage was set
the match was struck a torch forever lit
such a power would
never be chained
now it's just a memory
that carries my voice
the fire that magic flame
you started in me so many years ago
for it will never die
never get old
for i will pass it along
to the rest of the world
for your essence in my life
has inspired a million songs
it's never ever to late
for all this love to just
mutate
you loved too much
my twisted sweet soul brother
but then again
that is always a blessing
never ever a fault
peace to all who found this page
