Guestbook

I was 16 when we lost Michael. I remember the news and not understanding what it meant. I was a kid. Last night we had friends from Brisbane staying with us, wanting to have a fun night they suggested we listen to INXS. Song after song played, with each song we all yelled and danced. After some time we started talking about Michael - his success, his death but more importantly how he and INXS changed music in Australia. Since last night I haven't been able to stop thinking about Michael. As his parents, his siblings, his friends - you should all be immensely proud of the man that was. He was inspirational. He did what many people cant. He followed his dreams, and won. He will forever to known as a music legend. I have thought about his death a lot today. I don't believe the rumours and suggestions surrounding his death. Why the media would want to plant such ridiculous stories baffles me. He was an amazingly talented man who was struggling with depression. Unfortunately the depression won that day but what could never be taken was his spirit and that lives on within each and every family member and friend forever.

Just enjoying his voice today and music. Thank you Michael it is still all current now.

Greats tunes / great tragedy

Dear Michael, loving memories forever♡Evey day,every life...

That day in 1997, I was watching MTV and I remember when Kurt Loder I believe said that a body had been found and that it might be Michael, my heart sank but I kept saying maybe it's not him. Later that day confirmation came and I cried like I'd lost a brother. As a fan, I felt for his family the pain of losing your loved one is unimaginable. I couldn't believe that this man, that brought so much joy to so many for such a long time was gone.
Every time I hear U2's Stuck in a Moment I cannot help thinking had that conversation taken place would Michael still be with us.
The music Michael made has endured and are part of his legacy as is his daughter Tiger.
To his family and friends, thank you for this memorial

I was so sorry when Michael died. What a waste of a
wonderful man and a great talent. Sorry i never got to meet him in person.

You sound like such a wonderful person!! I will enjoy your music that much more now! Rest in peace.
Gone but NEVER forgotten

Dearest Michael, I have only just recently discovered your great talent. Why has it taken me this long? I am almost 19 years old and in college. My father put on the INXS TV movie a few weeks ago and told me about "Never Tear Us Apart," a song he told me him and my mother liked when it came out. "Kick" was released the year my parents met. My mother just passed away recently and I listened to that album and fell in love with it. It reminds me of my parents. My dad told me he owned an LP copy of "Kick." Today, I went to a local record store and purchased "Kick" and "Listen Like Thieves" on cassette tape. The truck I drive only plays these, so I am very excited to listen to them on my way to school and work. Thank you for your contributions to the music world, Michael. You truly had a remarkable gift. You left work that can be enjoyed by generations to come, including my own. You will never be forgotten.

Well, we're do you start - a Lad that had it all - except 'Happiness.'

I first (1st) heard HUTCH when I was in year twelve (12) secondary school - the song was 'Good Times' with Barnesy and from that moment I was totally hooked.

Then my research on HUTCH and INXS begun - then my CD player took a constant hammering with what was to come next 'KICK' by this time my family took a hammering also - not just one (1) song - but the full album was a massive hit for me totally - even the title song 'KICK' was a awesome song - and usually the album song sux - but 'NOT' this one (1) it rocked the and I loved every stereo radio station - even the AM Stereo radio stations were playing it in Stereo.

The a few months later - I herd a singer that sounded my like 'HUTCH' Max Q and this song was just as impressive as KICK.

And bang 'INXS' release a LIVE CD and all I want for Xmas was that CD, then my family I think we're going to ask me to move out lol.

Now, at a 'Night Club' the DJ plays a 12' single on 'New Sensation' hell INXS what the hell - my INXS love of their music and next was merchandise and dress code and I even grow my hair like HUTCH's funny thing was I suited it.

Oh, well then the unthinkable happens - as a fan of the band and I really feel the pain when it comes to children and it is hard - but your no good to your children if your in heaven - but depression does hit people in mysterious ways - and may HUTCH rest for eternally with the Angels in heaven - and now I hear wonderful things with his young Lass Tiger-Lilly and hope she is happy were ever she is.

Thanks for the Memories HUTCH and INXS ...,

what a wonderful person and voice. love his music still. rest in peace Michael. miss you.. may god bless your soul...

Probably my favorite live shows from the late 80's and early 90's. Great memories from great shows in Portland and St. Louis.

One of the greatest singers and performers.
