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.

After all this time words are still hard to come by. I live in touching distance of the N.E.C Birmingham and still I feel Michael and the Bands' echoes through my body. The memories of nights to savour. I simply offer my respects and wishes to a family put through undeserved torture from a press here that will have it's day in Hell. The site is great and a tribute to a great man and a great family.

Two worlds collided and they can never tear us apart...

From the first listen of “The One Thing” until the present I've always loved the music and personality of INXS. They have been my favorite band for the last 2 decades. The Farris brothers, Gary and Kirk, and the unique presence of Michael- a fantastic combination of musicians... I met the guys when they got off the bus to play in Birmingham, AL in the 80's. It was a major highlight in my life to meet my favorite band personally- just a “hello” to each of them was all but it was a great experience. I'll never stop listening to all my favorite music from all the great albums. I'll miss Michael terribly and wish nothing but the best for his friends and family. Mr. Hutchence- I am glad you have this wonderful website. As a father myself I can't imagine the grief you must feel but I can imagine the wonderful pride you have in Michael. May God bless you and keep you strong. I'll be visiting the website often and will certainly support any effort involved in keeping the site open and in the memory of a truly great man and rock legend. Best of luck to you and your family and friends. Your friend in the United States- Jim Windsor

What could I possibly say that hasn't already been said? About this site, about Michael? I could tell you that I honestly think of him everyday. Or about the time I saw INXS in concert, 13 years ago, or about the concert that my Mom wouldn't let me go to, because the tickets were $55. (for 2nd row!!). How about that “Never Tear Us Apart” was the first song my husband and I danced to at our wedding in 1994? Or that we went to Australia for our honeymoon? I could even mention how listening to Michael sing actually inspired me to quit my nowhere job and go back to school.

INXS and especially Michael have been such a large part of my life, so much it's frightening and so sad to think that he's actually gone. So, I too choose to believe he's still around, everywhere, watching. Watching Tiger growing, watching his family and friends move on, watching those of us who never met him, but knew him well try to be happy without him in the world.

I don't think there are words to explain how much we loved and admired him, it's such a strange thing to love someone you haven't met. Many people don't understand it, but to me, it just shows how special our beautiful Michael was (oh, was he beautiful). I've never been one to latch on to celebrities, and I've certainly outgrown my teenage rock-star crush era, so how can I care so much that he's gone, and about cherishing what he's left us? He's left us so many gifts, in the form of his words and songs, his divine voice, which I can hear anytime, just by thinking about it. And, his most precious gift of all, his daughter, it makes me smile just to know she's here, and a part of him, each time I see a photo she looks more like him.

So, I've come to this lovely site, looked around, read the stories, and shed what I'm sure will not be the last of my tears for a man I never had the honor of meeting, and I'm in awe that he still has this power over me.

So Kell, and all else who read this, may Love, Peace and Happiness find you always. Know that we were blessed, if only for too short a time, with the presence of someone special.

All my Love, forever,
Winnie

INXS made a great impact on the music world and Michael will be missed very much! His music always lifted me up and his legacy will live on to do so many generations to come.

Michael was our greatest ever shining star. INXS, our greatest ever international achievment - sophisticated, intelligent, creative, powerful. Thank you for the journey you took, the art you created and the joy you gave us all.

Dear Kelland

Your love for your son and Tiger is so obvious. Your son to me was a true inspiration and represents a time in my life when the world was sweet and innocent.

I am so pleased to hear the new material that he has been released and appreciate your struggle to make it be heard. It truly reflects Michael's immense talent.

May his spirit and memory live long in our hearts.

Yours sincerly
Frank Azzopardi

Dear Kel, how can I ever begin to share with you the impact that your beautiful son has had on my life before and since his passing? I remember as a young teenager, your gorgeous son was the first man I ever had lurid thoughts about! I found hope and inspiration in Michael's lyrics which got me through some of the darker times in my youth. You know, I always thought I'd get to have a vodka and a chat with Michael. I never suspected that I would never get the chance to. After dealing with the trauma and shock of his death, I realised a few things about myself and life. I had never had my drink with Michael because it was one of my many aspirations which I had never had the courage to persue. The regret that followed was greater than any fear I'd ever experienced. I made a promise to myself and to Beautiful Michael that I would never again be too scared to persue my wildest dreams. For me his death would not only be a tragedy and shock that was immeasurable, but also a catalyst which has changed my life for the better. I will not let his passing be in vain. So often his uplifting lyrics fill my head...“I told you that we could fly, cos we all have wings, but some of us don't know why”. I never used to know why....he has shown me that I must use my wings or face a life of regret. Everytime I get a step closer to where I want to go, I share a toast to Michael, the one who gave me the courage to spread my wings and dare to fly. Kelland, I give thanks everyday for the miracle that was and continues to be Michael. I really want you to know how he continues to affect so many people in such a positive way. Although he no longer walks among us I know his ethereal charm and magical spirit will always be present. You are right to believe he is watching over you, his presence is indisputable. Thank you for sharing your Michael through this website, I think it's a really cathartic experience for everyone who was ever enchanted with him. My warmest regards to you and your family, especially Tigerlily. My thoughts will be with you this November 22nd.

As i am writing this i am listening to Never Tear Us Apart and I have tears rolling down my cheek. But they are not all for sadness they are for happiness aswell for what memories Micheal bought into the world and we still have left! When i heard the news it was around half five in the morning in the UK. my sister and I were distraught i cried for days and often have the odd tear hear and there along with my sister. One story that i have is the day that Michael died my sister got given a present which was a beanie giraffe she called it Michael and it reminded her of Michael Huthchence , she took it everywhere with her , this year she went to the Belgian Grand Prix and on her way home back to London she realised that she had forgot Michael he was in Belgian still, although this was only a toy she treasured it dearly because of when she had got it and what it meant to her, she has since then bought another one but she says that nothing will replace the first Michael that she had.

Everything that can be said has been said on this beautiful website.

I never met Michael or saw him in the flesh yet I find myself missing him sometimes - I don't know if that says more about me than it does about Michael but my thoughts are with you.

Time is a great healer
