Guestbook

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 ...,

My favorite band of the 80's...INXS... I miss the music.

Michael's talent will always be remembered.

So missing his beautiful voice!

Michael..
The first music video I ever saw was Need You Tonight/Mediate - I was maybe 10 or 11 years old. I wasn't allowed to watch MTV as a kid so of course I felt such a thrill when I saw you and heard you. I couldn't wait to see it again or just hear it again. Honestly, it was my first taste of addiction and my first memory of being attracted to a person in that way..."oh, this is what sex is all about." Life moved on and I will admit, I forgot about INXS for a long time. Recently, I watched Donnie Darko and was reminded of how much I loved your music. That lead to watching the Never Tear Us Apart video and I realized it was shot in Prague - oddly, I was going there on vacation the following day. I fell in love with that city and you were part of that. It's dark and magical and mystical and romantic - all things you probably are, I think. Ever since I got back, I can't stop listening to your music. I'm devoting two weeks to each album. I want to know the music deeply in my soul. I just wanted you to know that you have a new fan in me and your voice lives on through all the people that knew you and all the people who are just discovering (or re-discovering) you for themselves today. You are an amazing gift. I'm so excited to get to know you more. Love & Peace, jessica
PS. I hope wherever you are, you can hear music. Have you heard the Arcade Fire x INXS mix of Reflektor/Need You Tonight? I feel like you would love it. ♥

Michael Hutchence's music has inspired me to pursue my own musical path. Grateful for all the music and memories.

Well, maybe I am not part of the generation that grew up with your music, but I loved it from the first time I heard your songs.
You'll never be forgotten!
Forever in our hearts ❤️
