Dear Family, friends and fans of the wonderful Michael Hutchence.

I am writing this to show my appreciation of Michaels work. I haven't been fortunate enough to ever meet him but i know his music and i would like to think his music expressed how he felt. I feel great sypathy to his family and friends and band members.

'I know i will never be able to tell you this michael but your music helps me to express my soul'

Thank you

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.

my wife and i for years have been fans of inxs, even before the world knew them from kick. such a sad tragedy for a great band. perhaps one of the best in the world-ever. his loss is so tragic that even today when we listen to the records or bootlegs of some magical and special moments, we can't help to wonder why, how, and what could've been? but now he's doing something special that we'll all get to hear someday; god willing. thanks for the memories. you are not forgotten “...by my side, i wish you were...”

Just the other day I put on listen like thieves, I got a lump in my throat I couldnt believe that he's gone

He was a role model for me, he's one of the reasons I'm a musician, (MICHEAL YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART AND MEMORIES).

Hi , I love the solo album and have just got my hands on a copy of Max Q extended, I was just wondering why the song Let the People Play was not included on the album, and also I dont really like the photo on the album cover I saw a better one, in a review done by Who magazine, although the photo is also quintessentially Michael . Kind Regards

Justine and Cheryl.

Espero que puedan traducir estas palabras y entiendan que yo sabiendo hablar y escribir en ingles , preferi escribirlo en mi idioma natal para que ninguna de mis palabras se mal entendieran .

Michael, fue el motor de una generacion , debido a su conducta y estilo y filosofia fue una persona que lo tuvo todo en la vida , se codeo con las mujeres mas lindas del mundo , compuso las letras mas interezantes y representativas de esta nuestra generacion , era una persona que esteticamente era un rey y sobre todo demostraba de sus dotes de seductor .....pero se fue y seremos responsables todos de su partida ...porque digo esto porque cualquiera de todos los que nos encanta la musica de compositores como Michael si ubieramos tropezado con el minutos antes de que el tomara esta determinacion de terminar con su vida y le ubieramos mostrado todo lo que logro en la mente humana de un joven de 25 años o mas o menos ...cero que el estaria de cuerpo y mente con nosotros .....el esta con nosotros su espiritu nos ve y disfruta ahora de lo que el logro en esta tierra......

No sufran el esta bien , el fue un niño y ninguno de nosotros lo cuidamos

QUE DIOS LO BENDIGA A PADRE DE MICHAEL Y A TODA SU FAMILIA

What a lovely memorial site. So tastefully presented. Such a waste to lose a homegrown talent such as Michael..thankfully music last forever.....

Kell, you've done a beautiful job presenting your wonderful son for our memories. I've been a big fan of INXS and Michael (especially) since I was about 13. The first album I ever bought was Listen Like Theives! I've followed them ever since. The news of Michael's passing hit my very hard. I had just moved from Canada to the US and was away from friends and family. No one around me understood why I was so upset. I had to trudge through my mourning alone. Although the many fans on our chat servers definitely helped out along the way! Thanks!

Michael will be forever in our hearts and part of our wonderful memories. Thanks for making it easier to 'see' him through this great web site!

Well, I'm not a big fan of Michael, but I went to this page because I wanted to hear the statements of Bono.

Bono sang a song for Michael that I really like. It's called: “One”.

I think it's a great favor if Bono sings that song for you. Michael must have been a great person!

Well done Kelland. This site is just what we need.

Michael will be remembered forever in my heart. Such a tragic loss.

GONE BUT NEVER EVER FORGOTTEN

When I first heard the INXS “kick” album, I was hooked. Michael Hutchence had a presence like no other I had seen. The 80's was a time when alot of us were lost in drugs. The music was a way of relating and feeling ok. INXS was my all time favorite 80's band and Michael Hutchence was by far the greatest lead singer of that decade. God bless him.

first of all i would like to send my love and blessings to all who cared for michael. i was lucky enough to see inxs 4 months before michael passed on. i almost didnt make it that night. im so so glad i did. i just got my computer yesterday and the first thing i did was to look up something on the band. this was a wonderful find. it actually gives me some kind of closure. there isnt a week that goes by that i dont listen to michael. his words are an inspiration. i can tell that he was a beautiful person. i wish that i had met him...xoxoxo

A fitting tribute for an absolute legend. I never got the chance to see INXS live. The closest I got was organising the planning stages with a bunch of mates to see Micheal and the band in Brisbane on 13 December 1997.

Fate had it not to be.

Just listening to the music of Michael and INXS whilst I close my eyes, makes me think about what might have been.

Maybe some things weren't meant to be.

Rock on Michael.

Don't change.

Dear Michael,

Like a rainbow fading in the twinkling of an eye - GONE TOO SOON
Like a perfect flower that is just beyond your reach - GONE TOO SOON
Like a sunset dying with the rising of the moon - GONE TOO SOON
Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight here one day - GONE ONE NIGHT
You are not dead, you are just GONE FOREVER!!
You'll always live throughout your amazing music!
Some of us don't know WHY!???

I MISS YOU

Love always,
Birgit from Austria

I recall being about 11 years old, and we had just gotten MTV. One of the first videos and songs to ever make an impact on me was INXS's “The One Thing.” I loved the brashness of it, a foodfight set to music! Most of all, I was immediately drawn to the charisma and talent of the lead singer, Michael Hutchence. I became a fan on the spot, and their music saw me through a sometimes rocky adolescence. I am 28 years old now, and I am a fan for life. The news of Michael's death stunned me so much, that occasionally I have difficulty believing it is true.

Thank you Kell, for this beautiful site, a fitting tribute to your son and the gifts he left us, such as his music, his life, and the beautiful Tiger Lily. Blessings to you!

Great website and a wonderful concept. Michael had a profound impact and this site will certainly help those who were inspired by him deal with the tragedy of his death and the resultant emptiness.
Tony Adamson, 31.10.1999

Michael will always live on in the hearts of his family, friends and the fans.

It should not matter how he left us, only that he made millions of people happy and gave them a way to escape the best way he knew how.

May his memory and his music live forever.

JUNE 10 1997 NEWCASTLE ARENA WAS ALIVE TO THE SOUND OF THE GREATEST BAND IN THE WORLD. MICHAEL WAS MAGNIFICENT (AND AS GORGEOUS AS EVER TO SAY THE LEAST) AND THE BAND WERE CERTAINLY AT THEIR BRILLIANT BEST. WE LOVED MICHAEL THEN & JUST AS MUCH NOW. WE HAVE GREAT ADMIRATION OF KELLAND HUTCHENCE'S DIGNIFIED SUPPORT OF MICHAEL, HE PUTS MANY OTHERS TO SHAME!
