Condolences to family of Michael Hutchence and to INXS
Condolences to family of Michael Hutchence and to INXS
INXS is a good part of my living memory.
RIP
What can I say? You were charasmatic, you exuded sexuality and your kind soul shone through. Been watching the Inxs show and find it too painful to hear someone else sing the words that only Michael could and should be singing. I applaud and praise the band members for having the strength to sit there and endure others performing his words. Not only was his death untimely to his family and friends but also to the fans. I wish that you MIchael have the ability to see how many lives you have affected not only by your talents but also by the great loss that has been bestowed on us. I wish the band the best of luck and that Michael, You Rest In Peace!
I've never stopped playing the albums, never stopped listening to the words. I am 43 now and when Shabooh came through my MTV back in 82, is when I became addicted. Compare all you want. Michael was a stark and unique individual. He didn't just wear his heart on his sleeve, he tore it out and held it there for us to take a little piece of. His presence on stage, his words and his voice as instrument, all instantly moved me. I was 20 in 82, on the verge of conquering my own little world, my bounds limitless. INXS became the soundtrack to my life. Songs of people relating, the most poignant of two people relating. I think about a song like Mediate and I think how one song can link so many types of human beings, and The Stairs, and how humanity is one large living breathing body, where we all are connected to each other, however lightly or remotely. Connected. We should never have let one so eloquent and passionate about his relationship to his loved ones and to his fans and his world, slip though our fingers.
I've moved on, but no other music has affected me the way INXS has, no other voice has filled my head and felt so much like my own. I've battled my own set of demons in my time and survived them, and now have a wife and 3 lovely teenage daughters to thank for getting me through. Michael's voice and words, captured on disk, preserved for all time, still get through, still make my heart soar. Keep me young. I can't say I will never stop envying that soul who slid through my TV set in 1982 and found a place in my heart back then. Who I dreamt of trading places with many times in those 15 years. Every time I grab the microphone on karaoke night in a small smoke filled bar, I think I should've taken that chance when I was 16 and my friends thought I had an OK voice. But I was too shy to expose myself, expose my heart, my soul like that. Like Michael did. But staying who I did, allows me to keep on enjoying his art, and enjoy it, God-willing, for a very long time.
Thank you Michael. You are always by my side.

I saw him in concert with the Go-Go's years ago and had the fortune of meeting the whole band .I was in awe of him as I was 16 at the time and secretly crushed on him.What a sweet and gentle person he was to me.I was just 1 in a million I am sure ,but he made me feel feel like a million dollar baby that night!I will forever miss that sexy slither of his...
we miss you, michael! you will always be part of INXS...you are irreplaceable
I got to meet Michael in 1996 on the TV show I work on. He was kind thoughtful, funny and of course talented. He was a part of my growing up. I miss him still.
Michael, you beautiful man, REST IN PEACE........
You made me feel like I had a devil inside. You will awalys be missed.
We are very happy for the music INXS has brought to us and will continue to bring in the future. Our hearts are with you and Micheal after his tragic death. sometimes the demons we have get the best of us, which is unfortunate. But I am sure Micheal is watching over you guys and is very proud of what you have been doing. God Bless, and Take Care.

I miss Michael so much he was such a amazing singer. The rest of you guys in the band rock!!!!!!!
I always admired and adored you. You touched me and I hurt inside from the loss of your voice and unique talent in this world. I understand what you must have been going through, I too have suffered from deep, awful depression. Being a fellow aquarius(our b-days are so close), I share some of the same energy and passions for others, especially those most in need. You are missed.
I HAD A BROTHER WHO PAST AWAY NAMED MICHAEL. HE DIED 4 YEARS AGO. MY FATHER DIED 1 YEAR AGO TOO. I HOPE THAT ON THIS DAY OR ONE DAY THEY WILL MEET ONE AONTHER SINCE I LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH. I LOVED MICHAELS MUSIC EVEN TILL THIS DAY IT KILLS ME WHEN I HEAR MY FAVORITE SONG.
I NEED YOU TONIGHT.
I LOVED THAT SONG.
BUT I THINK GOD THAT WE ALL LIVE FOREVER HERE ON EARTH BY OUR HEARTS AND IN HEAVEN BY OUR SPIRIT.
THANKS

I've met “Hutch”three times..he told me to call him Hutch, because all his friends call him Hutch..Because at first I called him Michael..He smiled and said, “I get called that when I'm in trouble” and we laughed.I lived out in California when I met him and the band.I enjoyed just listening to him...and when I heard the awefull news, I cried, and miss him still..I lost autographed t-shirts in a fire along with some pics, and a letter. but I have the memories, and they will live on forever. Hutch, you'll always be the dreamer to me..Forever, the “Brown-Eyed Girl” (I got my little girl just like you did....) Bones
Although, I never had the chance to see INXS in concert I faithfully bought all their cd's! The music they made in my opinion was and is the best music that was ever made and will live on through all the coming generations. There will never be another voice like Michael's. Thankfully we have the many cd's that the band put out to live in our memories forever.
Your still in our hearts
I miss you terribly!
I'm 17 and I was born 8 years after INXS's first album came out. But I remember growing up in the early 90's hearing INXS's music, and loving it. Now that I'm older and involved in music, I am honored to sign Michael Hutchence's memorial guestbook. He's a true legend in music and a personal hero. I would give my life to bring him back.
Humbly Yours,
Humbly Yours,
first time i saw inxs live was at the rock torhout/werchter festival, here in belgium. inxs was all around at that time. let's just say it 'kick'ed us. i've seen many bands since that day, but i will never forget mr hutchence's charisma and energy. i have no idea how he was off stage, but well... i don't know how to explain this, but it feels as if he was ' there ' during my teens. some important energetic presence. writing ' they will never tear us apart ' in a clumsily put to paper love letter... things like that. jim janis jimi michael kurt... it's a sad list. the essence remains : the music.
You were an inspiration to many and are greatly missed. we will remember you forever.
Michael and INXS are a huge part of my teenage years.....I know every word to every song. When Michael passed the music world lost something unbelievable and so did those of us that believed in him and his music. May he rest in peace....
