I was on my way to a U2 concert when I heard that Michael had died. That night at the concert, their was quite a somber feeling in the air. (I dare say there are few U2 fans who were not also INXS fans) and to listen to Bono ask “Where are you Hutch?” over and over at the end of the concert as he sang “One” was just so poignant and expressed the grief-stricken shock so many of us were experiencing.
Thank you for this website. It brings Michael so much closer to us all through beautiful family photographs and heart-felt tributes. God bless you all.

I just recently bought Michael's latest album and it's beautiful!!
Especially the last one with Bono, very appropriate. I also had to comment on this beautifully structured web page, I have not seen a better one!

Hey Michael,
We miss you down here... but are happy you left your mark on the world with yours and INXS' music. I, along with countless others, are so grateful for what you have done in your career. Take care of yourself and remember that we love you...

Last night I woke up at about 2am for no particular reason. Lying there in the peaceful silence I switched on the radio. There, through the silence, came a song that struck me - and I was compelled to listen. It was soft and gentle and dark and light, like the night bathed in moonlight. It was unlike anything I'd ever heard before. The words were so haunting. I couldn't let this song go. I swore I knew that voice, but I just couldn't put my finger on it. Then I suddenly realised who the main singer was. The song was “Slide Away”.
I am not a Hutchence fan and never have been - but I think I'm starting to understand what so many others so easily see in him.
You are so fortunate to have such a wonderful son.

We have been listening to INXS and Michael Hutchence for the past 15 years. We enjoyed his sex appeal and his ability to seduce you while on stage. His music will always be apart of our lives and our children. Thank you Michael.

I have been a huge fan of Michael & INXS for quite some time now. I went to my first concert of theirs on Sept.27,1997, which would be their last show in the states, and forever. I got the tickets to the show in Pittsburg after my mom & her boyfriend saw them at the Beacon only about two weeks before that. I actually contemplated not going because of all the travel involved, and said I would catch them on their next tour. We went, and I must say it was the best concert I have ever been to. I have never seen someone with as much energy as Michael. I managed to get one great shot of him out of the whole show, and it was during “Don't Change”. Only two short months later, only into Michael even more than before, having seen him up close, I was sitting in my office @ work on the phone when I heard the heart breaking news about Micheal. I quickly ended my conversation, and sat there unable to comprehend what I had just heard, hoping it was a cruel joke. But it wasn't, Michael was gone. All I could think was how glad I was to have seen him before his untimely demise. I have since aquired a copy of that concert on cd, and it is by far, even though a copy, one of my most prized parts of my collection. My heart bleeds for his family and their tremendous loss, and especially for Tiger who will only have stories and pictures of her father. Thank you for this site it will help people bring some closure to this tragic situation. And for Michael, “Don't Change”!!!!!!
very nice.
Was pasirt mit INXS ohne Michal?
Es ist ein sehr großer Verlust für
die Musikgeschichte.
Ich war ein sehr großer Fan und bin es auch Heute noch.

Michael Hutchence was born on the same day like me. I'm not superstitious but I think that we have something in common. That he died so early in his life is hard for everybody who knew him.
This is a very nice Site. INXS will never be the INXS it was with Michael! I hope he lived his life like he wanted it. I guess he did it. We will recall him in our hearts. He'll never die!
Thanks... Michael Lutz

I think this is the most thoughtful and beatiful web pages I have seen and know you must be very happy with it. I hope all your wonderful memories of Michael help. I live in Byron and often see Rhett around town and often think if only Michael had jumped on a plane to Ballina that morning and spent some time with his brother and also used this beautiful town we live in to help him through his bad times. As I know all who live in Byron have used it to help them in one way or another and I think if only he had come for a couple of days it would of helped him, I'm sure of it. My heart goes out to all his family and friends, and I have always thought over the last 2 years if he became friends with Diana up wherever they both are looking down on all of us. There are both 2 stars who make the night a little brighter.

Hi, I'm a big fan of Michael! My first concert was the X tour and after that concert I came to be a big fan. BTW:I love michaels' cover single “passenger” on the batman forever cd. Congrats on a great site!!
My one and only INXS show was two short years ago, in the autumn of 97, at the Beacon Theater. Not surprisingly, I was absolutely blown away by them, particularly Michael's charisma.
As the last encore, “Suicide Blonde” started, we my friends and I took the others cue and rushed the stage. Running down the isle at top speed, and sliding across, only to have Michael help me to my feet when I slid to his, was amazing. Turning around with his arm around me briefly to see the whole Beacon lit up, was a moment I will never forget.
Not only an amazing performer, but an amazing person, who was only human, but touched more lives than most.
I will miss him dearly, but he does live on.

I've never really been and INXS fan. The only album I have is Kick. I thought Michael was an amazingly attractive man. To be honest until 2 weeks ago I hadn't listened to the album in years.
2 weeks or so ago I was going through a very bad time. I have been depressed on an off through most of my life. I've even been on Prozac. For reasons too numerous to mention I was feeling suicidal. I was flicking channels on TV trying to get my mind off things when I came to MuchMusic. They were playing Live Baby Live. For the next hour I sang and danced and cried as I thought about Michael's death.
I started listening to Kick over and over. One afternoon I laid down on my bed and began to cry. I must have cried myself to sleep because I saw Michael. He was sitting on my bed and he started talking to me. He talked about how no matter how much anyone knows about you they can never know what it's like to be you. We talked about a lot of other things and then he reached out and touched my ankle.
I was startled awake and I looked to the foot of my bed and I could swear someone was sitting there. Then the person just disappeared. Suddenly I felt better about his death and knew that I could get help and not follow him. I don't think he would have wanted that.
I guess I just want to say thank you, Micheal, for talking to me even if it was only a dream.

thanx for the music , and thanx for this website michael's Dad. we'll love him forever.
Thanks to all who created this site. I use to go to school with Michael and it is still hard to accept that he is no longer with us
There really isn't much more to add to the already 479 posts :o) Thank you so much, Mr. Hutchence for sharing your memories with us. I never had the pleasure of meeting Michael personally but he has been (and is) my idol for the past 16 years and I feel as though he is part of my family. Not a day (hour, actually) goes by that I don't think of him and miss him. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you personally for giving us the gift known as Michael Kelland Hutchence. My life has been a much better place for having him in it. I will treasure his memory for the rest of my life.

It's been almost 2 years and I still can't get over this loss. I'm sure michael never planned for things to end up this way. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

About ten years ago some of michael's lyrics helped me through a hard time.I continued to learn from him over the years, I think my best attributes have been influenced by him. I never got to thank him. He is missed everyday, but also remembered and celebrated, he's a perfect paradox to me. Thank you kell for this personal glimpse into his life.
I used to listen to INXS with my dad. It was a great way for us to bond. Lots of sons have difficulty with their fathers especially in teenage years. My father and I were able to talk about sports and listen to INXS and it really helped us to have a better relationship I think - some common ground in great music and great lyrics. Thanks.
what a wasted life.
I am sorry for your pain.

I grew up listening to Michael & INXS. They were my favorite band as a child and a teenager, and are still until this day. When I found out about Micheal's passing, it was like I lost my best friend. To this day, I still mourn Michael. However, I gain solace every time I hear his sweet voice singing and recount all the happy memories I have of listening to his music. My biggeest reget in life is that i never got to see Michael & INXS in concert.
I want to thank the Hutchence family for this beautiful site. It has helped provide me with some additonal healing, but I know I will never fully be able to accept the fact that Michael has left us.
I know Michael is making beautiful music in Heaven. I want to wish love & light to all of his family and friends. We all miss him dearly.
