THANKS FOR A WONDERFUL WEBSITE DEDICATED TO A FINE TALENT LOVED BY MANY. I LOST MY OLDER BROTHER 1 YEAR AGO TO CANCER AND I TRULY UNDERSTAND HOW RHETT AND HIS OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS FEEL. IT'S HARD TO END THE HURTING, BUT I UNDERSTAND THE FEELING OF REBIRTH THAT RHETT SPEAKS OF. I AM NOW SO MUCH MORE AWARE OF THE FRAGILITY OF LIFE. THANKS AGAIN AND TAKE CARE.

He was a great man and musician.In my country allpeople like his music.When I hear one of his songs I remember when I was a teenager when everything was so cool

Almost two years later I still find myself thinking of Michael. I grew up listening to his wonderful voice and find it hard to believe he really is gone. His memory will remain in my heart always.....

I would like to begin by expressing my deepest sympathy to Michael's family and friends. His passing not only touched you, but did so to the millions of fans worldwide.

I had the opportunity to see INXS live in concert in September of 1997 in Norfolk, Virginia. It was a show I will never forget. When he sang “I'm Just A Man”, I cried and I still do when I hear it now.

Thank you, Mr. Hutchence for bringing such and lovely, caring human being into this world. Even though he was only here for such a short time, his presence was surely felt.

Also, thank you for this wonderful site. It's nice to see the positive side of Michael instead of all the other garbage.

Mr. Hutchence, I wish your family well and thank you for sharing you thoughts.

Love and Peace,
Angela

Well. I don't know how to thank, or who to thank for a very fine LP. I didn't know it was out! I was only window-shopping but I saw it and it had to be bought, I'd been waiting for the moment for months & months. It's got an exceedingly cool sound, it reflects, I think, Michael's very fashionable and poetic view into life. It's a shame the guy went.

And well done on creating a brilliant epitaph of a site. Thanx.

Sitting here listening to Michael's last album yet again. Tears rolling down my face as I listen to each word.

I recently read a review of this album in Who Weekly written by Barry Divola. This reviewer said how disappointing this album is. Well you listen up you moron! There's a little saying that I've adopted to suit you - 'In life those who can - do and those who can't - criticise'.

The loss of Michael was not only the tragic loss of a life gone far too soon but it is a loss of a talent that will always live on in the hearts of many. Whether we feel more sentimental about this very last album than we would have felt about one made if he was still alive is completely besides the point.

I'll never understand the shallowness of people who think that they are so damn good that they have the right to criticise others. Each piece of art that someone produces says different things to different people.

Too bad the only thing this reviewer is hearing is the sound of his own ego.

Michael, you will always live in my heart. I have been a fan from the beginning. I saw you every time you set foot on a stage in Sydney and those memories are as much a part of me as air and water.

Rest in Peace.
Suzanna.

He was a great man,singer and father I suppose.Really its a shame that he's gone...

I just want to give a warm thanks for this site. I received his CD a couple days ago and cannot listen to it enough. I hope it makes a mark here in the states. He deserves praise and sells for such a great album. I hope Tiger is aware of how wonderful her father was. We all miss him terribly!!!
Michael Andrews, 21.10.1999

I had been an INXS fan since about 1982 and saw them open for the Go-Gos in 1984 at the Garden State Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ. Michael commanded the crowd to “get off your asses and dance!” and we did. He was and is still the coolest rocker I have ever encountered. I am definately looking forward to the release of the solo album and for now am making due with my old INXS vinyl. Why do the ones we need around always have to go so soon? Somehow, it's just not fair. I miss him. God Bless.

Thank you so much Mr. Hutchence for this site.
It has brought so many of us hope and
enlightenment. You must be a wonderful person-
we know you are the best of fathers.

Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Ferrari for dedicating your
time to this beautiful site to honour a beautiful
soul. Thank you to everyone who has shared their
memories and feelings with me and all the rest of us.

Last on the list-first in my heart. Thank you Michael.
Your music made the difference to me so many times. I
wish -- I wish.... Beautiful broken soul. Now you are
everywhere. A tragedy in human terms. But a triumph of
the spirit. All my happy moments I dedicate back to you.

All my moments with my son, I dedicate to your precious
Tiger Lily. May she grow in peace and love.

You have made so many of us kin. We will not pass each other
on the stairs. Thank you. Thank you.

Love,
L

Finally I have the album to listen to, it seems to make more sense. It's like we're hearing Michael's side of the story. My wife lost her parents the same year which lost me the chance to grieve for Michael, I had to be strong for others. Now I finally feel it's my turn. Thankyou for the website, it feels like you know what we are all going through. I feel like I can continue my life with a positive look on the future.

Dear Mr. Hutchens,

It is still hard to believe that Michael has actually gone, but thanks to your wonderful website and Michaels music he will live on in our memories forever.

Dear Mr Hutchence,

What a wonderful tribute to Michael. He will live forever in our memories and hearts. He was a truly beautiful human being. How lucky we are to have his music, he will never be forgotten. I wish you and your family all the best, cherish your memories.

This is a lovely tribute to Michael. I grew up listening to INXS (I even traveled to Australia because of them!). I am 30-years-old now with a son not much older than Tiger Lily. With the busy life I have today, I am surprised by the intensity of my sadness for the death of someone I never met. It's like a part of my youth died with him. He seemed so vital, you know? He seemed to really enjoy all that he had earned from life.

My best to you and your family, Mr. Hutchence. Tiger Lily is lucky to have someone who will preserve the legacy of her father as you have.

Dear Mr.Hutchence

I was deeply touched by this website. The fans statements brought back the feelings I felt when watching the funeral. I wish you all the best for the future, and must comment on the solo album which is a brilliant piece of work that has not left my stereo since got it.

All the best love Court

Some demanded to view your life
like an open book
Me, a shadow in the background
loving you enough
to cherish what you
allowed me to take.

Inside you were a lost boy
when you were taken from our arms
Two faces, one soul, you showed us inspiration and secretly hid your desperation

When deppression takes over your thoughts
And the world becomes four walls
There is no escape from yourself
There are no open doors

Your emotions are restrained
yet the tears keep on falling
I wish I could have protected your soul
and helped you fight the calling

I wish I could have taken away
all your sorrows
So that you could freely live each tommorrow

I wish, I wish, I wish.

How can it be?
that we want to end the pain
Yet we want more than anything
to live to love
our children
and protect them from the same?

There is no answer is there?
When the effects of depression wills us to act..
Before we can explain.......

Love & Peace

I am viewing this site while listening to Michael's solo album which was shipped to me from Australia. This site will serve as a great place to keep alive the memory of the greatest male voice I have ever heard. Thanks for everything Michael. You will Live Forever....

NOW THAT I AM HERE, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO SAY. I DO NOT THINK THAT I CAN PUT MY FEELINGS INTO WORDS. YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL, ONLY A THOUSAND AND ONE TIMES STRONGER.

THANKYOU FOR THIS CONNECTION, IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME. IT IS DIFFICULT TO HOLD ONTO SO MUCH LOVE AND NOT SHARE IT WITH THOSE WHO MATTER. XXXXXX

Thank you to all who played a part in putting together such a fantastic website. The best years of my life, are those years when INXS ruled the charts!! To Michaels family, I mourn with you daily, “To have loved and to have lost is the saddest thing for the human heart”.

“Kia Kaha”
“Be Strong”

May each day be easier than the last!!!

I knowe howe you feel. In november 1998 i lost my sister. We where close.

Michael did very much for the world in his music and lyrics.

Michael, rest in peace

Most of all, I will miss Michael's voice on the radio, coming up with fresh ideas and huge hits for INXS. I will be the first in line here in Nebraska to buy his solo album and hold on to it forever. I regret never seeing Michael perform live, but I guess I'll have to imagine how awesome it would have been.
