As I do every year, I write a message here and on the INXS Facebook group and page I run . Michael has been gone 19 years , though it still only feels like yesterday, not just for us fans, but of course for his family, and most importantly Tiger Lily. As a mother I can only imagine the questions and the heartache that Tiger has endured since her father and her mothers passing, Thankfully she has people around her who can tell stories and memories of both her parents and have given her so much love as she has grown. I hope that she endeavours to find more memories from Michael's band brothers, if she has not already.
I want to thank Ian Patterson, Susie Hutchence and Mario and Jacqueline Ferrari for their continued involvement on this site, they keep it going for us the fans, on behalf of Michael's late father Kell. I don't think anyone has every thanked them publicly, so I wish to.
Michael we will keep your memory and legacy alive, you gave so much to so many, and to this day, 19 years on, you have gained new fans, young and old because of your songs that you created with INXS. Thankyou and keep Shining Brightly .

Our hearts go out to Michael's family, friends, girlfriends, bandmates & fans. I wrote this tribute on the 10th Anniversary of his death 9 years ago. Tribute to Michael Hutchence
Michael Hutchence’s phenomenal and timeless legacy is best understood by his profound music.
Michael, you’re our Shining Star, The Messenger, The Loved One who was Heaven Sent. You taught us to have Faith In Each Other. You truly cared about others, led a Wild Life with Good and Bad Times, and kept Searching for the One Thing of What Love Is. You are so much larger than life, and we love to Hear That Sound of your incredible voice, heart-felt lyrics, and unique songs that transcend traditional music.
Regrettably, with fame came the unrelenting thunder & Tiny Daggers of a media storm and personal strife that Cut Your Roses Down, and you’re the one Who Pays The Price. Very few realized you were Just A Man and how much you suffered inside. Tragically, you had Not Enough Time on Earth, as you felt you could not Put The Pieces Back Together of your shattered life and didn’t see the Possibilities other than to Kill The Pain and Slide Away. You prophetically sang in your song, Never Tear Us Apart: “I told you if we could fly, cause we all have wings, but some of us don’t know why”. We hope you were able to Make Your Peace and obtain Freedom Deep within you.
You greatly loved your Beautiful Girl, Tiger, as she was Everything to you. It’s unfortunate that you’re not here to share your life with her.
Michael, you are sadly missed and you will never Disappear in our hearts. All Around, you have made the world a better place with The Gift of your beautiful voice and extraordinary music that’s still Calling All Nations and continues to touch the lives of millions. You will Stay Forever Young and your legacy will live on forever.

I have had the privilege to work the past ten years with a great musician who as a young and upcoming member of a Newcastle UK band had the privlege to open for INXS in his home city. That night one member alone came into their dressing room to greet them, wish them well and generally have a chat. He left a lasting impression with my colleague of a great human being as well as an incredible artist. There are so many stories like this one. Remembering you dear Michael.
Rest easy.

We now enter our twentieth year without Michael as winter begins in the Northern Hemisphere. The world remains a lesser place without him.
I miss Michael Hutchence. I never will forget when I first saw INXS on tv. I was drawn in by the the music. It was Michael charisma and charm that I remember through all these years.He was the greatest. I will never forget him.
My dear MH you know, wherever you are, that your music, your soul, your heart have been with me for more than twenty year, always an forever you will be my love. Everyday open my eyes and you are here in a pic, in my radio, in my phone wallpaper in my heart, every I think about you in all your music and I ask me Why you lrave? Why you are not here? I don"t understand why and I pray for you, for your peace. Michael you always will be my death love because the death is eternal as my love you. I love and I miss you every day.
It's such a shame Michael never found the peace of mind that eludes so many of us. I feel for his family and friends in their sorrow, grief and pain on loosing him. If there is an afterlife l hope Michael finds peace there, and that that thought may bring a little comfort to those in pain.
His music touched my life as a teenager and now as an older man it still has the effect today. He is missed.
1987. Kick. Loved Inxs. Michael was such a rock star. Mystify remains my favourite song from the era.
Bless you Micheal and thank you

INXS 1987 my first concert at the spectrum in Philly..Great time! loved watching him..he had such a presence!!!....Gone too soon....rip
I would have been 11 years old when I first saw INXS performing live, (around March 1982). I remember 'The One Thing' and didn't want to leave despite my parents trying to drag me away. From that day on I was an INXS fan. The music is just as awesome now as it was then. Can't believe it is nearly 20 years since Michael's passing...but the music lives on.
