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.

INXS was my favorite band growing up, I still love and listen to the music. I cried in disbelief when I heard the news. I am so happy I was able to make the concert earlier that year. I looked around at that concert and I was one of the few people who new all of the songs. I have all of the albums, and really love the old stuff. I was able to see INXS three times live. And I have a live performance from Australia on tape so I can watch it again. I also have DOGS IN SPACE taped, I love Michael's perfomance in that strange movie. The end at the funeral is so moving. But, nothing takes the place of Michael's stage presence. The way he moved, sang, interacted with the crowd, it can't be replaced. I will love INXS and Michael Hutchence forever. Thank you for this great tribute page, a place for fans to come together and remember their Michael Hutchence.

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.

Kel,

Thank you for giving us this beautiful page. I have only just started listening to my INXS albums recently, and am thoroughly enjoying Michael's solo album. It is a wonderful tribute to a beautiful, talanted man.

I will miss him forever. Michael & INXS provided the sound track to my life, & for this I will be forever grateful.

Yours sincerely,
Penny Whiting.

I had the pleasure of meeting Michael on a number of occassions. I found him to be an inspiration. He was a man of strong spirit who could relate to anyone.

I will never forget him.
Rolfe Hubley, 23.10.1999

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.
Amy McLaughlin, 23.10.1999

I never met Micheal personally, but his life still has had impact on mine. His voice will always haunt me. I am so glad he was alive on this earth and I was able to experience his presence in concert and listen to his beautiful voice over and over with what his has left us. I'll be forever grateful and truely miss him. Hopefully one day I will meet him in heaven.

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 met Michael with INXS when they came to Colombia for the first and unique time, I really got shocked when I heard he was dead..I couldn't believe it.

He lives in my heart as in his music.

I didn't get to know him very well, but I saw him performance and that;s something for me.

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.

Sean McGraw, 22.10.1999

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.

Michael and INXS have held a special place in my heart ever since I first heard Listen Like Thieves in 1985. May he be remembered for the joy he brought to so many, and may the music live for all future generations to enjoy.

God Bless You Michael, Rest in peace.

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.
Carlos, 22.10.1999

I can't find the words to say how do I feel, but I'm proud to say that there was a time in my life when I could enjoy INXS’ music. I'll never forget INXS (all the members) and the greats moments that I had with them.

LOVE & PEACE. CARLOS, Spain.
