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.
Love to you all,
Paul Christie
Love to you 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

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. R.I.P. Michael xxxxxxxxxxxxx

The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

Michael our one consolation is that we seen you live on the Elegantly Wasted Tour.
Our thoughts are with Tiger and Paula, your family and the rest of INXS.
I'd catch you if i heard your call.

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

Having seen Michael just six feet away from me in concert in 1993 in London, it still is hard to believe that he is gone. His songs still live on, whether they are INXS or his solo work.
Rest in peace

My condolences Kelland, to you and your family for your tragic loss. I'm glad you take solace in the fact that so many of us share your loss. I'm an ex Hong Konger too (65-89), and must have crossed Michael's path a few times at swimming galas with the USRC (we were KBGC and HKFC), but didn't finally meet Michael the singer until my old RTHK boss Warren Rooke introduced us at the Casa Mexicana one night in the late 80's. It was kind of strange finally meeting one of my heroes, and discovering he was just a normal guy, whose talent had taken him along a different path. His music lives on, and I look forward to getting the new album, out this week. Look after Tiger Lily, she's going to be special.
I hope you are in peace
I know you are...
I know you are...
This sight is so moving.
I loved Mikey and all that he stood for. I first saw Inxs at on my birthday Wembly stadium and I was bowled over.
Then two years later I went again to see them on my birthday at the De Montford and it was the best, just 1500 people and Inxs. Wow!!
Will never forget....

What a beautiful site!
I recently made a trip from the US to Sydney, and of course on the top of my list of things to do and see was to visit Michael's memorial. I just wanted to compliment you, Kell, on the simple, understated beauty of that tribute. As I sat on that bench and gazed on the marker with that loving inscription, I was suddenly overwhelmed by such a feeling of peace to know that, though he is no longer with us, Michael's soul has finally found the peace that so deperately eluded him in his life. Again, I thank you for such an elegant tribute to your wonderful son, a beautiful human being who will always be sadly missed, but for whom we are all so much richer for having had out lives touched by his presence.
Peace,
Amanda

Great music!!!
It's almost been 2 years, and I still can't believe he is gone. But, we must move on and through his music we will. Michael, the gift you gave will truelly last forever!
After reading all this words of condolences and respect, I couldn't avoid saying something myself. Thru my youth, INXS was one of the major influences. Not only the music, but (and more important) the lyrics. As some people said here, Michael was a friendly and sensitive person when one can hardly forget. He was a symbol of a decade...and still is...
I know that we'll never forget him, since he gave us so much to remember...
Condolences to the family and friends.
PEACE,
