Thank you for a very beautiful and moving website. I saw Michael in concert shortly before his death and I will always remember that night. I still miss him and keep his music in my car all the time. God bless Michael's family and friends.

A great page for a great singer...

Michael lives in our heart and in our memory...

His voice is strong enough to sound for the rest of the time...

Dear Kell,

What a wonderful Aussie dad you are.

Steve.

An INXS fan from childhood, I had never seen the band in concert until their last time through Chicago, days before the release of “Elegantly Wasted”. It was the most spectacular show I have ever been to and I will never forget the way Michael was able to captivate the audience. Truly a wonderful entertainer and a role model to many (including myself), Michael is deeply missed.

The day that I heard about Michael Hutchence's death, I walked around in something of a daze. It hadn't been very long since they had played here in Vancouver, and my memory of the show was still fresh. I remember that he dedicated the song “searching” in memory of Princess Diana that night. I had seen INXS every time that they had come to Vancouver, and I remember when I heard the news how glad I was that I had seen Michael that one last time. Never before has the death of a celebrity touched me like that of Michael's. Even now when I think about it I become somewhat melancholy. If any of Michael's family reads this, please know that he is missed greatly by us all, and we can only imagine the loss that you have felt.

I must say that I was saddened by Michael's death. It's not as though I knew him, but his music touched me during a difficult period in my life. I will have fond memories of the concerts, the music, and even the films -- he will be missed.

So, I'm 27 at the time and I had taken a three hour drive to pick up my sister at Penn State the night before. It was a fun evening, that night before, as we got looped and hung 'til the wee hours with a very popular cover band from Philly that had played a rather large gig on campus that evening. I slept on the top bunk of Megan's (my sister) bed that night. I hadn't slept in a buk bed for years. That combined with the numerous beers I had that evening led to a rather loud, crashing fall from grace in the middle of the night. On the way down I hit the left side (temple) of my head on the corner of her roomate's bureau. I also landed very hard on my shoulder. Megan said all I did was sort of groan and stayed on the floor.....for the rest of the night. Basically, it was yet another extremely hilarious moment which I continue to share with my sister to this day along with many others both past and present. So i wake up and one of the first things her roomate tells me is that Michael Hutchence committed suicide. I must say I was pretty stunned, as I had just seen my sixthe INXS show just a couple short months earlier at The Tower Theater in Phila. Anyway, I needed to get home because you see, I sing too and had an outdoor “polar bear party” gig scheduled that night in which we were to do about ten tunes in Wilmington, Delaware. The gig went well and I had Hutchence on my mind the whole time. I couldn't get it out of my head. It's guys like him, Bono, and Robert Smith who inspired me to sing my heart out in the first place. These guys are the “home team”, man. At the end of the evening after the headliner I went home again pretty soused. I called a friend and started to try to explain my sadness. It didn't really flow, though, and the conversation was over quickly. I decided it would be best if I dealt with it alone. So, I just sat in my chair and cried. Haven't told anyone 'til now, and never will tell anyone again. Weird stuff.

Thanks so much for giving us fans a wonderful site all about Michael. I have accidentally wandered into so many offensive sites concerning his life and his death, that I stopped searching the web, until a friend of mine told me about your site. I am truly grateful to you for honoring his gift to the music world in this particular way. Michael and his music will never be forgotten.

Thanks again!

I just want to say how much I miss his face.He was as beautiful on the outside as he was on the inside. I miss you and I love you.

Thank you for creating this beautiful site. I have been waiting for a tribute or remembrance such as this.

Michael Hutchence has a place in my heart forever. I saw INXS in concert several times. On a few occassions Michael wore roses in his hair. That is how I remember him now.

I really enjoy looking through the beautiful website that you've created. When I learned of Michael's death, I was shocked. Now I am happier knowing he had a productive & prosperous, although short, life thanks to your love for him. My thoughts will never be far from him and his music will never die.
