And God will say, I'll hold your hand
I've walked this walk, I understand
And God will say, I'll be there
If you just have faith, if you don't despair
And God will say, that there are no ifs, you lived your life as you should have lived
and God will say that now's the time
Don't be afraid, I'll lead the way
It's a soft day, when the angels come to sing
and it is a soft day when an end comes to suffering
and it is a soft day when your heart begins to burn
and it is a soft day, but in that day you finally learn
And you can say you lived your life
The way you wanted to
And you can say that you have survived
And now you see that there's a light inside
And you can say that you've lived your life with an open heart and an open mind
And you can say you've lived your life one hundred times past the time they said that you'd die.
But you survived, and I can say that you've touched my life
And I can say that everyone must go
And I can say that you have been there...
Don't be afraid as you wait for the soft day
When the angels come to sing
It'll be a soft day when an end comes to your suffering
and it is a soft day when your heart begins to burn
and it is a soft day
but on that day
you'll finally learn...

Thank you so much for this personal tribute to one of the most gentlest of souls to walk on this beautiful planet.My heart is still heavy with the loss of Michael. I listened to INXS since the early '80s and never missed a show they played in my area. Each concert was truly a magical, spritual experience. The connection was immense. It took me almost a year to be able to listen to a song without succombing to tears. A part of me still is saddened, but I have always loved the music and now I find a peace with it. I miss Michael's presence greatly, but through the music he is still here with us. I last saw him July 18 1997, my 28th birthday. A day I will never forget. My thoughts are with your family every November 22nd and Jan. 22nd. God bless and I greatly look forward to his solo material being released in the USA.
Forever in my heart,
Cynthia

Thank you for opening up to share so much to everyone. This is very touching, to be able to “feel” your son, as a child, father and as a musician..Thank you again....
What a lose
As an Australian citizen now residing in N.Z. I can't tell you enough how proud I am to have listened to and to have been blown away by the music and presence of INXS, and in particular, it's lead singer Michael. You must be so very proud of what your son had achieved and the influence he had and will continue to have on his fans and friends. I wish for you and your family peace and harmony through this difficult period.
Beautiful site! Unfortunately, I was unable to see Michael perform live before he passed, and I regret it to this day. At least I have this site to tap into for the memories.
I was fortunate enough to have met Michael in 1991 in New York. It was a moment I'll never forget - nor will I forget him. After loving INXS for so long, it was truly an honour to see him in the flesh. A little part of me still refuses to believe he's gone. The early music of INXS marked a turbulent time in my life - the teen years. I'm proud to say, they helped me get through them. This website is a fitting, touching and beautiful tribute. It's nice to know he had so many people around him that loved and cared for him. I'm going to leave with that said, before I cry again.

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.
Thank you, Mr. Hutchence, for this magnificent site. You've done a brilliant job. It's an extraordinary celebration of Michael's life and I'm grateful you put this together.
parabens pelo trabalho, meus sinceros agradecimentos.
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.

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
A tragedy, this -
Its not about the music -
its about the man.

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

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.
