I've been a fan of Michael and his band INXS and was so dissapointed for his pass away. But his legend, music and voice will remain in my heart and mind forever, Michael you are awesome! Love you for ever
Thinking of this beautiful soul today and how he touched so many - even if not physically, he touched my heart. I think of this precious man not only on his anniversaries, but throughout the year. I play his music and listen to his interviews from time to time. He calms me. My mother is dying and she has a photo of him near her bed as he calms her as well. He has the most amazing fans and friends and family. I have been lucky enough to communicate or meet many. I am blessed to have been touched my Michael Hutchence. Thank you Ian and thank you everyone who keeps Michal's memory alive.
Ciao Michael! R.I.P.
Michael was and is the most charismatic performer EVER!! I miss him and his music so much! I now have a 14 year old daughter who through me has discovered INXS and Michael and she too is in awe. I will never forget Michael or the concert that I was able to attend in Charlotte NC. I take comfort in knowing that someday I will meet the “most beautiful” Angel in heaven!!! RIP Michael
Dear Michael:

Its that time again when i smile and cry at the same time, the same question goes around and around, why, why did God take you, you had years to go on singing, performing and loving. I wish i could have been there for you, i would have listened to you, i would have held your hand until you were free from that dark moment, but i wasnt there so i couldnt. Ill remember the day we met forever, i treasure the photos and the memories. Thankyou for being you, thankyou for my great taste in music, my brill record collection, and thankyou for that one day in July 1993 in Manchester. Ill never forget. x
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 and 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 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 amazing legacy will live on forever.

Dear Michael,
Well, here we are again...another year has brought me here...doing the math. You think this would get earier as the days, months and years slip by. Trust me...I remember (the day you left us...gone way too soon) this day all too well. Although, you were taken from us...way too soon...I can only hope your writing some beautiful music and I know everyone's feeling the love and joy from the music your making right about now. I'm not sad...just sad that we (the rest of us that's left behind)won't get the opportunity to hear that great voice that would make our hearts skip a beat and snap our fingers and tap our feets. So today, LET US CELEBRATE, YOUR LIFE, YOUR MUSIC AND I THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GREAT SOUNDS I'M ABLE TO PLAY AND LISTEN TO EACH AND EVERYDAY. You'll NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
Be happy, feel the love and most of all...keep smiling down on us.
Love and Happiness, always.
Cynthia

Thinking of you bud!
It's that time of year again though Kennedy gets more attention this time around but I go by the time zone so today Michael can be focussed on properly. Wish I could have the day off for it though.
Missing you Mikey. Love always, Erin
Dear Michael,
I remember running into you in Vancouver in the winter of 1995. I was at a neighborhood pub with my girlfriends when you came in the back door with your band. We knew the owner and he had invited you guys there for a beer that night. I coudln't believe it was actually you, such a HUGE star, in our little pub. Anyway, when you walked in, you seemed to notice me from across the room. Some people have told me I look like Helena Christenson, so maybe that is what it is that made you look twice. Whatever it was, I could not believe you would even glance at a regular girl like me. I was no pop star or supermodel, just a regular girl out with my friends on a Friday night.
I felt like you were watching me from the back of the room, but I couldn't tell for sure because those big curls were falling over your eyes. I got up to go to the bathroom which was past where you were sitting at the bar. As I walked by, you spun around off your chair, stood up, looked me right in the eye and smiled. I couldn't believe it! I stood there frozen, not knowing what to say or do. I was so star-stuck and shy, I just stammered a little and then ran away! I think you thought I was being snobby. The truth of the matter was the exact opposite. I felt like such an idiot for running away from you, but I had never met anyone with such superstar status face to face like that before. It was surreal. You turned back to the bar and sat by yourself with your beer, looking contemplatively at the wall.
As I sat back down with my girlfriends, I watched you sitting there. You were surrounded by your band and the rest of your entourage, but you decided to sit alone and stare at the wall. You were definitely happy to be with your band but you looked a little lost sitting there alone. It was like you weren't sure where this next phase of your life was going to take you. Looking back, I wish I had had the courage to sit down and chat with you. I wanted to tell you so many things. About how I had seen you in concert on your Kick tour in '88. About how it was the first concert my mother let me go out of town with my boyfriend to go see. About how I was glad you guys were back together and recording some new tracks. I wanted to tell you all those things but was too shy. Now that I think back on that night, you looked like you could have used a regular girl to talk to. You looked like you really needed some normalcy in your life right about then.
Just remember that during the days you walked on this planet, if there were ever girls who ran away from you it was most likely because they couldn't believe a star like you would want to talk to them. After reading stories from people who knew you I realize now you were just a regular guy who liked to talk to people. I think people often forget that stars are regular people too. That would be a hard life and you did look tired of all that nonsense. So sorry you couldn't find another way out, but I hope you and Paula have finally found yourselves some peace.

Best rocker ever !!! RIP Michael
We miss you dearly Michael. Forever your legend shall live on generation after generation.
So dearly missed, you Michael were someone l loved to listen to and still do. You had such talent and the world is a darker place since you left it. rest in peace. xxxx
I met michael in connection with work on East Timor. He volunteered his time and effort to help us liberate the country. Sadly he did not live to see us reach that goal...but I will always remember his loving support and generous spirit...at a crucial time in that struggle. He told me he was doing it to honour his father's struggles with Indonesia at that time. Love to his family, thanks for this opportunity to say thanks.
Hello, Michael. I've always liked you and your music, but I'm starting discovering only now how great you and your music are.You're amazing on stage.I'm not interested in media, so it's by your own work and site like this that what I think of you is confirmed and shared by such a lot of people who never forget you.What I see is a handsome man, what I feel is your huge beauty inside. I feel your enormous sensitivity, your sweetness, your caring about others, your honesty in whatever you've done. I feel your fantastic sense of humour and your hurt as well. You only needed your daughter, you needed to take her hand, to caress her face, kiss her goodnight. You only wanted to be a father and a musician. I love so much your warm voice, the emotions you give me they go straight to my heart. Lucky who could you see you performing live, and lucky those who were honoured to meet you. Lucky who loves you, who cared and felt the wonderful person you were..and still are. But you know, I feel lucky too because our worlds finally collided. Sure you're happy in Heaven now, always loving and protecting Tiger. And please..rock Heaven up!! Until we meet at home, Thank you so much, Michael. Much, much love. Claudia

22 November 1997 - 16th year since Michael Hutchence passed away.
If you can, come to Sydney, Australia, to visit his beautiful/ peaceful memorial site. It is in Sydney's Northern suburbs at the “Northern Suburbs Memorial Gardens”. Christine X

Michael, a brave soul that lived to reach his dreams, a true inspiration to all of us, to live with passion, to be ourselves.
I am well over due to visit this website and post a comment on this page.
I had the pleasure of meeting Michael on October 20, 1987 in Kalamazoo, MI. My memory is a bit weathered, but this is what I recall from almost 30 years ago. A group of friends (5 of us) and myself went to see the Kick show and were luck enough to go back stage and meet the band. They gave us beers, really liked all of us, and were all invited to their hotel next to Wing Stadium. We hung out and partied till wee hours of the morning. Michael was very cool and low key, as I remember, as was a few of the band mates that hung out with us - Andrew and Jon. We all just felt like we were hanging out with old friends from home.
I remember checking out the CD collection next to a little Bose amplified speaker and portable Sony CD player. Cameo, Aretha Franklin, Beatles were just a few they had.
I also remember just kicking back on the bed with Michael and talking.
We never even thought of getting autographs or anything like that - just to caught up in having a good time. It was a pleasure to have met Michael and spent just a few hours with him. He treated us like we knew him for years. What a great man.
I will never forget that evening and either will my friends.
Peace to you Michael!
