When my boyfriend and I saw INXS August 24, 1997, we had no idea it would be the first and last time we would ever see such an incredible band. Micheal was so much fun that night. When he stage dove into the audience, I couldn't help myself, so I tore his brightly colored mesh shirt off his back. I also have Tim Farriss' guitar pick. My two priceless treasures are framed with my ticket stub. I will never forget that night. God Bless Michael HUtxchence!! PEACE!
I had seen inxs several times in concert and the last time was shortly before Michael's death at the Beacon's theatre. I was in the front row and thrilled. He interacted with the audience including me. I was overcomed with the thought that he was tired and sad even though his performance was energy packed, he seemed small and in need of a real hug, not fans jumping all over him on stage. I just noticed a change in the band's appearance and interaction on stage, since I last saw them. I guess I wasn't shocked when I heard Michael had died. I was greatly sadden. He had a voice that was strong and clear. I'm so glad to hear that he has a solo album being released, I have missed his sound. The website is beautifully done and a great tribute to a talented man. I'm glad that he is not forgotten.
This site is a beautiful tribute to a great performer and a great man. God bless.
Thank you for sharing your memories. All the pictures of him I have in my mind he has a smile.
Thank you so much for putting this site up. It still hurts almost 2 years later to think that he has gone, but we have our memories, his music and the support that we the fans give to each other. He will never die in our hearts.
thanks Kel and family.

There are days when even heaven feels pain. The day of Michael's passing was one such as this. Once, I had the pleasure of meeting Michael at Studio 301 in Sydney, where I was a budding engineer...and still to this day I remember the passion in his eyes.
Few people like Michael move through this world. May your son, the dreamer ....the writer... the magician... find the answers in our hearts...
My best to those who loved him..

A wonderful site, wonderful memories yet so very sad I feel all the sadness we felt when we heard the news. May God be with you and your family Kelland and I pray Michael has found the peace he deserves. Thank You for sharing your memories with us.
Michaels Lyrics gave me an other way of looking at things, and they still do. I miss him in the sense of not hearing new songs or never being able to see him perform, which I never have.
Thank U for sharing this site with us, the fans..
Take care

Dear Kel and family,
I had the honour of meeting Michael when I was 12 years old. I have a photo of him and myself together that I cherish with my life. I will share it with you if you would like to see it. I love this web site, however looking over it seemingly makes realise that I am still deeply upset at the loss of Michael. Tears well up in my eyes as I write this in the background words from those songs fill my head. I will remember Michael as I saw him. He graced the world with his presence. I don't want to make this too long but I would like to share something that I read only this morning.
I am I.
Do not change me, condemn me, nor put me down.
Accept me for what I am.
No...you need not agree with me, but accept me.
For i am total in being.
I have my faults,
I have my guilts
But that is who I am.
Perfect I will never be.
Allow me to be uninhibited.
Do not pressure me into feeling what I do not feel.
Accept me when I am flying high
As I have accepted you when you were flying high
Do not put me down
...nor make me feel unhappy about me
I am I.
and I like being what I am ....
Me.
With love
Kelli

Thanks for the music that filled my head when I was growing up and thanks for the pictures that filled my walls in my room. From the outdoor concerts such as the Big Swing to the one at the 'Ent Cent' which I actually got an stage and had the pleasure of kissing you I just say thanks
The music of the 80's has always been treasured, and one of the greatest bands was INXS. Michael had such a charisma and personality, it was very hard to ignore.
I heard of his death after driving to Cleveland for a Duran Duran show, actually. I will never forget that night as an entire audience mourned, along with Simon LeBon and the rest of the band -- it was incredibly touching to see so many come together and reach out to one another on such a large scale.
There was so much love for his memory and for the family and friends left behind as well as all those who felt the loss...
His voice can still bring a smile and a tear....he touched many, many people and will always feel like such a loss.
Take care,
Birm

I never got to meet Michael or see him in concert... but I loved his music. Every song tapped into what I was feeling but could not explain as I stumbled through my teenage years. I was so deeply saddened at the news of his death and the way it happened, because his music helped me realize that my life was beautiful and worth living. I will hold my memory of him close to my heart always...

And God will say, I'll hold your hand
I've walked this walk, I understand
And God will say, I'll be there
If you just have faith, if you don't despair
And God will say, that there are no ifs, you lived your life as you should have lived
and God will say that now's the time
Don't be afraid, I'll lead the way
It's a soft day, when the angels come to sing
and it is a soft day when an end comes to suffering
and it is a soft day when your heart begins to burn
and it is a soft day, but in that day you finally learn
And you can say you lived your life
The way you wanted to
And you can say that you have survived
And now you see that there's a light inside
And you can say that you've lived your life with an open heart and an open mind
And you can say you've lived your life one hundred times past the time they said that you'd die.
But you survived, and I can say that you've touched my life
And I can say that everyone must go
And I can say that you have been there...
Don't be afraid as you wait for the soft day
When the angels come to sing
It'll be a soft day when an end comes to your suffering
and it is a soft day when your heart begins to burn
and it is a soft day
but on that day
you'll finally learn...

Thank you so much for this personal tribute to one of the most gentlest of souls to walk on this beautiful planet.My heart is still heavy with the loss of Michael. I listened to INXS since the early '80s and never missed a show they played in my area. Each concert was truly a magical, spritual experience. The connection was immense. It took me almost a year to be able to listen to a song without succombing to tears. A part of me still is saddened, but I have always loved the music and now I find a peace with it. I miss Michael's presence greatly, but through the music he is still here with us. I last saw him July 18 1997, my 28th birthday. A day I will never forget. My thoughts are with your family every November 22nd and Jan. 22nd. God bless and I greatly look forward to his solo material being released in the USA.
Forever in my heart,
Cynthia

Thank you for opening up to share so much to everyone. This is very touching, to be able to “feel” your son, as a child, father and as a musician..Thank you again....
What a lose
As an Australian citizen now residing in N.Z. I can't tell you enough how proud I am to have listened to and to have been blown away by the music and presence of INXS, and in particular, it's lead singer Michael. You must be so very proud of what your son had achieved and the influence he had and will continue to have on his fans and friends. I wish for you and your family peace and harmony through this difficult period.
Beautiful site! Unfortunately, I was unable to see Michael perform live before he passed, and I regret it to this day. At least I have this site to tap into for the memories.
I was fortunate enough to have met Michael in 1991 in New York. It was a moment I'll never forget - nor will I forget him. After loving INXS for so long, it was truly an honour to see him in the flesh. A little part of me still refuses to believe he's gone. The early music of INXS marked a turbulent time in my life - the teen years. I'm proud to say, they helped me get through them. This website is a fitting, touching and beautiful tribute. It's nice to know he had so many people around him that loved and cared for him. I'm going to leave with that said, before I cry again.

What a beautiful memorial website for Michael. He will live forever in our hearts through the unforgettable music he wrote. He was a poet, and lives on through his talented work. Thanks to his family for sharing such intimate details with us. We are truly sorry for your loss.
Let me first say, what a beautiful website and tribute to a man who contributed so much through music. I am forever grateful to Michael and INXS for their music. I saw INXS in concert 6 times over the years, the last being July 1997 in Las Vegas at the Joint and Michael held my hand as he leaned over the crowd and he held it for 10-15 seconds and looked down into the crowd and I turned to my boyfriend and He smiled and said, “I see.” I went home and called my friends that I had been to 4 of the 6 concerts with all over Southern California. I knew that night would be the last INXS concert I would be able togo to, but I didn't know why. Perhaps, how could I top Michael holding my hand? I didn't know then and still didn't until that day. I was driving home from work and heard the news on the radio and I cried. I cried for his little girl. I cried for the rest of the band. I cried for the concerts to come that I wouldn't get to experience. Over time, I came to really love the experiences I did have while listening to INXS. Thank you for everything. Thank you for this beautiful website.
