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.

This side touched me...

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!
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

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
