You are not far from my thoughts.You were an amazing artist who inspired me during my days at art school and you still do.I thank you for that and for producing some of the best music ever.Yours was a real talent that was respected and appreciated greatly by me.I not only saw the rock star but someone that was deep,intelligent and saw through the artificial world that we lived in.Your intelligence inspired me to read many books and made me see things that others didn't.Your work with Max Q was brilliant as you were.How interesting it is to hear yours and ollie olsens lyrics and see how brilliant your mind was and how relevant your words are today,especially “Ghost of the year”.Every year on your birthday and the date of your passing,i light a candle for you and i tell no one,it's just the 2 of us in a beautiful cathedral.Two years ago i was in the church saying a prayer for you on the date of your passing,and i asked you to give me sign that you were there listening to me,you did just that.That meant the world to me and others might think that i'm weird,but i know what happened,and i thank you for listening.You and i both love cathedrals and you are the only person i know that cries at the beauty of them.You are a special man,i only wish i had met you,we would have so much to talk about.Thank you Michael for all that you taught me,i will never forget you.

I just wanted to say i miss michael more than anything. I miss watching him winning the audiences with his beautiful voice. I miss him dancing across the stage and happy doing so. No one will ever know how much he means to me. Michael was the most warmest loving caring man i have ever seen. I would like to express my feelings to him by this poem i wrote. Michael was a warm guy righ away i could tell he fell from the sky. Michael was a love that had to come from above. Michael was an angel that landed on earth for a short time to tell each and everyone he cared and he was something that had to be shared. Michael was a differnt man with beauty and intellegence he showed the world what he could do and sing with one word he made my heart ring. Given by the lord for a short time but long lived his love will forever go on.

To dear Kell,

I believe you are heading over to England soon to spend some time with your beautiful little girl - I just wanted to ask of you, that when you take her in your arms and surround her with your love, please take all our love also - there are so many of us out here that wish for nothing more than her happiness and well-being, and I hope all those feelings go with you into her heart. Although I'm not one for supporting the invasion of people's privacy, it was almost a relief to see the photos of Tiger in the latest Hello magazine - she looks so happy and loved by her sisters - and how adorable she is, so much like Michael - he's never very far from her, as every time she looks in a mirror, she sees his beautiful face smiling back at her.

I hope you have a wonderful and special time with her, and I wish you and your family all the best, and continued good health to you Kell, so you can spend many more years with your beautiful little angel.

Lucy

I just saw the pictures of Tiger on the Hello Magazine site. I started crying because she looks just like Michael with those deep brown eyes and wide smile. For a moment there it was like I was looking at Michael again. Although I am not a Bob Geldof fan by any means, she looks very happy and how important it is for her to have a fulfilling family and sibling relationship.

I will always be an INXS fan it's going on 15 years now. I miss Michael and his music. I always used to look forward to an upcoming album and fantastic tour but no more. Thank goodness I have incredible memories I will treasure always.

GOD BLESS YOU HUTCHENCE FAMILY, MEMBERS OF INXS AND TIGER OF COURSE!!!

THE HUTCHENCE FAMILY WILL BE ALWAYS IN MY PRAYERS.

MAY GOD BE WITH YOU FOREVER.

ONLY GOD KNEW MICHAEL'S HEART...THAT'S WHY HE LOVES HIM SO MUCH.
Jim Siewers, 05.05.2001
I have never felt a deeper grief except when my mother passed away.I listen to the Greatest Hits CD often and it always heartbroke that a talented and pure Superstar has passed away.The world will be without a true genius.

I have just been looking at the Hello Magazine website to see the latest pictures of Tiger. She is looking so happy. Her beautiful smile made me cry, I guess because I want to see Michael behind her not Bob but he must be doing a great job. I do think she is in the best company with her half sisters.

When you visit Tiger Kell will you put the pictures up for us to see? It seems silly but we love to see her growing up.

Much love,
Jennifer

I am 12, and that can prove that Michael had fans of all ages. I only got to know Michael and his music through his death. My father, Dennis Ian Patterson who helped create this site, spread Michaels ashes and has become great friends with Kell. We will all miss Michael, no doubt, but life must go on.

I had the experience to see INXS in concert here in Seattle in 1988. It was the best concert I had ever attended, Mike defintely went all out for his fans,he was a great talent, and will be deeply missed. Rest In peace.......

I miss Michael and INXS (as a whole) everyday. The first time I heard INXS was in the early 80's and it changed my life forever. It's very hard now to listen to INXS or Michael without my heart sinking and wishing he was still here. The world has lost a unique and charismatic individual. My heart goes out to his family.

I have just found this site and it is wonderful. I loved inxs so much and Michael even more.. It was a tragedy i still think about.. His music touched my life and i cant believe he is no longer with us to enlighten our lives.. IT means so much that this site was created.. it lets all of us know that he will no tbe forgotten.. And best wishes to his family, friends, band amtes.. and most of all to his daughter Tiger.. who is beautiful just like his parents were.. i will remember michael Always... Rest in peace Michael and Paula..

This is the first time I have visited this site. I was at the last concert INXS performed in Scotland (excluding King Tut's). It was the Barrowlands, where else ... and I thought Michael was fantastic and looked better than he had ever in recent times, sexier and more confident and even relaxed. It was like a greatest hits tour where everything was given to the full, by all of the band, all of the concert. I even landed a Farris plectrum, which I still treasure.

Following Michael's death and all the questions, I received a copy of the Order of Service from his funeral from an Aussie girl who worked with me as a temp and had been there. I videotaped the funeral on TV and although it might seem morbid, I felt it allowed me to grieve for a 'soulmate' which I felt I was, along with all his fans.

Incidentally, I was prompted to look for this site after seeing the media coverage on the development of Tiger with her sisters and Bob Geldolf. I think Michael's family should be proud of how she looks and how Bob has is bringing her up to be a normal, happy and balanced child. He is doing a fantastic job! Never tear them apart!

Just a little note to say how delighted I was to see the lovely pictures of Tiger Lily in Britain's Hello Magazine.

She just looked so happy and loved. I know that Bob and the girls can never replace her parents...but under the circumstances she seems to be in the best place.

May Michael and Paula rest in peace. Tiger seems to be in good hands which I am sure is a relief for Kelland Hutchence and family.

It's been a while since Mike has left us and although I never had the pleasure of meeting him, I still find myself crying often. I have been a huge INXS fan since the first time I heard them in high school. A friend of mine and I were dissing each others favorite bands. She was dissing Prince and I was dissing INXS. I gave her a copy of Princes' “1999” and she gave me a copy of “Shabooh Shoobah” and we both have been hooked on each other's favorites since then. I never missed an INXS concert in Houston or Dallas. I never missed a television appearance. I still watch my copy of The Arsenio Hall show when the band played “What You Need”.

This is the first time in my short 33 years an entertainer has left us and I felt such a great loss. I didn't even mourn when 2-Pac and Biggie died. But when Michael left us, I never stopped crying. I am fighting back tears right now as I type this. When I first got the news I was actually leaving work and the television was on the local news show. They interrupted the news and mentioned the tragedy. I was in a state of shock and I immediately turned to MTV and they hadn't reported it at the time. I thought maybe I was dreaming, so I called a label rep who I knew that worked with the label and he said he heard no such thing. When the realization came to me that it was true, I could not work for three days. I own my own business, (a music store), and I closed it for two days. The third day my fiance'worked for me. Not a day has gone by since 1983 where I haven't listened to an INXS song. My band and I have been playing INXS songs for years when we do shows,including a Spanish , unplugged version of “Shine Like It Does”. I love Mike so much, it really felt like I lost a long distance brother.

I have turned a number of folks on to the sounds of INXS and Michael Hutchence, including my 75 year old father,my mother, (who is deceased), my fiance' and every one I've ever dated since the 80's.

Michael and his lyrics have helped shaped my life through the years. Songs like “Not Enough Time”, “Love Is (What I Say)”, “Original Sin” and so many others have moved me and still do to this day. We do a really psychedelic version of “Searching” on some sets that we dedicate to Mike, Jimi, Janis, Marvin, Pac, Biggie and Pops Staples of the Staple Singers.

I have an official “Kick” poster hanging up in my office right next to, that's right..a poster of Prince. Michael and Prince have been the two biggest artist in my life to help me create the sound I have with my band. And I will dedicate our first cd to Michael Hutchence upon it's release

I actually received a gold plague in 1984 for the efforts I made as a writer for a local magazine to make sure folks heard “The Swing”.

I really miss Mike and I'm sure there are others who feel the same as I do.

May God Bless and Keep All who read this and share the pain I feel.

Much Love and Respect to Family Friend s and Fans.

Peace

I was sitting here thinking of Michael and how he touched my life with his voice. I never met him but I feel that he will always be a part of my life. Michael, where ever you are, we miss you, love you, think of you often, and thank you for your beautiful voice. Rest in Peace my friend....

This is a beautiful site for a beautiful man. Thank you for sharing your memories. Michael lives on in so many of us.

I've loved INXS since the early 80's and watched them play many times. It seems so strange that I finally met Michael in July 1997, Scotland, just months before the end. Funny thing is, I could not speak to him only call “Mike” so he would sign my concert ticket! Strange, sad, but rewarding - as if saying good bye. So nice to hear fans today, being so warm. Peace to all. Hutch - RIP
