Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Just wanted to say thankyou to everyone who's sending the lovely poems and thoughts, prayers for and about Michael and his loved ones to the list. There is a heartwarming.. easing sorrow... a wonderfulness in our togetherness of our saying prayers, sending love and spiritual hugs for Mike and for his family and friends... his 'brothers' Tim, Garry, Andrew, Jon and Kirk, for all of us in mourning. Found a poem that a lady in our support group shared that she got on a card when her 17yr old daughter suicided, it's called Tears.. Tears There is a time for tears. When your heart is too full of sorrow, they begin to flow, as naturally as rain from heaven. There is a beauty in tears, a rightness about them. They should be shed proudly, for the show how much you have lived and loved and lost. Tears honor our loved ones. There is a sacredness about them. Each one is a prayer that only God can hear. The soul could have no rainbows If our eyes could have no tears. ------------------------------------------- Btw.. from talking to 2 friends -all 3 of us shared something-besides our love of INXS-- how many others also felt an unease in their world, sort of like a sense of doom, something wasn't right... -starting perhaps about 3 weeks ago-and you had no idea what was causing such sad-uneasy feelings? {{hugs}} Mary X400-Received: by /PRMD=Iris/ADMD=Mensatex/C=Es/; Relayed; Tue, 25 Nov 1997 18:03:14 UTC+0100 X400-Received: by /PRMD=es/ADMD=Mensatex/C=es/; Relayed; Tue, 25 Nov 1997 18:03:54 UTC+0100 Date: Tue, 25 Nov 1997 18:03:54 UTC+0100 X400-Originator: bjimenez@etseccpb.upc.es X400-Recipients: non-disclosure:; X400-Content-Type: P2-1984 (2) X400-MTS-Identifier: [/PRMD=es/ADMD=/C=/;971125180354] Content-Identifier: 231 From: Susana Jimenez To: (confirm) Subject: [INXS] U2's tribute to Michael Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Thank you Nanci for share this with us...it has made me cry, but also has made me feel a lot better.

I+m just about to leave the house to go out with my friends for our usual night of drinking and mayhem. As I grab my leather jacket I listen to the last few seconds of Searching and leave the house. Saturday 22nd November. I have just finished having a shower and still feeling the effects from a heavy nights drinking the night before. The phone rings and my mother answers it, I can her saying "Oh no he hasn+t heard the news yet". I go to the phone and my Brother tells me that Michael Hutchence has died, I ask him to repeat what he has just said as I haven+t taken it in the first time. He tells me again. I tell him to hold on a second and run to my stereo. I put on the radio and the first thing I hear is Born to be Wild sung by INXS, at that point I realised that what my bother was telling me was true. I first came into contact with the band+s music on a summer+s night in July in 1991. My brother was going out and asked me to tape a concert for him. I started off recording and didn+t pay that much attention until it came to changing the tapes over. I then heard and familiar sound which I had heard allot in the past but had never known who the artists was who played it. That familiar sound was of course Need You Tonight. From that point on the only music to really be played out of my stereo has been and will continue to be INXS. I got my first chance to see them live this year at the NEC in Birmingham. It was a very special night for me being my first INXS gig, but now it even more special as it was my first and last. That night will always present me with some very special memories which I will remember for the rest of my life. Like many of you on the list I have been left feeling completely numb from the news we had to experience at the weekend. I always liked Michael the best out of the members in the band although I like the other members as well. Michael for me though was someone special, a person I would look up to as a hero for many reasons. This weekend+s events has seen the death of another one of the few hero+s I have admired, another being the late great Ayrton Senna. I look at these kind of people as heroes because of the way they have effected my life. INXS will never be replaced in my view. For me there is a special something when I play INXS music which is hard to describe, which is just not there when I play other artist+s music. I for one will now be lost musically with out any new releases from the band, and no more Tours to look forward to. I am content though to listen and re-listen to some of the most magical music ever made. I look to their music in times of happiness, love, depression etc. My only way on dealing with his death was to put LIVE BABY LIVE in the video recorder, turn up the stereo very loudly and sing every lyric until I lost my voice. I guess this was my way of saying goodbye to Michael. My deppest sympatheies go out to Michael's Family and friends and to all those who knew and loved him.

To: inxs-list@iastate.edu X-VMS-To: IN%"inxs-list@iastate.edu" Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Hi. This is my first post to this list, though I've been a lurker for quite a while. I just wanted to thank you all for being here, and understanding... INXS isn't even my "favorite" band, and until this tragedy, I didn't realize how much I really did like them, Michael in particular. So, just thank you to all of you again. Nobody else I know understands... I went to the Duran Duran (my actual "favorite" band) concert in Cleveland on Sat. (Nov. 22), just a few hours after I heard the news. Needless to say, I wasn't much in the mood for concert going, but I went anyway. I don't know if it's common knowledge or not, but Simon Le Bon and Michael were pretty good friends, so it was a very emotional concert. Simon dedicated the entire show to Michael, and was in literal tears most of the show (as was a great portion of the audience). At one point he mentioned that Michael was his "best friend" in the music industry, and talked about what a beautiful, caring person he was and told us not to forget Paula and their beautiful baby Tigerlilly. It was obviously a very hard show for Simon to do (he said so himslef), being only a few hours after the fact. In addition to dedicating the entire show to Michael, Simon also specifically sang the song Save a Prayer for him. It was heartbraking. Well, that's all for now. Thanks again to all of you on this list, and all of you who have set up beautiful memorial pages. They are greatly appreciated. amy From: "Bischoff; Nicole L" To: "'inxs-list@iastate.edu'" Subject: RE: [INXS] funeral on TV Date: Tue, 25 Nov 1997 12:40:41 -0500 Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu if anybody is gonna tape this, could they make me a copy??

Date: Tue, 25 Nov 1997 10:17:03 PST Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I can't help remembering something my mom has always said -- "everything happens for a reason." I know I've talked about the cancelled Milwaukee show in the past, but these last few days I've thought about it even more. I have to admit that my interest in INXS had waned in the last few years, since they were out of the mainstream. Family responsibilities, work, etc., all seemed to take precedence, which was their rightful place. However, after the concert was cancelled, I spent the next day scouring the net for info on Hutch's condition. If the concert had not been cancelled, I never would have learned of this list. Being on this list the last few months renewed my interest in the band as never before. I would not have "met" all of you, and would now be alone in my grieving for the loss of such a wonderful soul. Thank you all, for being there for all of us on the list. We are together in our grieving, and will gather strength to get thru this from each other. As I'm typing this, the dj on the radio is playing "Never Tear Us Apart." Quite ironic and comforting at the same time. ~*~ Donna ~*~ From: Bttrflie7@aol.com Date: Tue, 25 Nov 1997 13:58:33 -0500 (EST) To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: [INXS] MICHAEL HUTCHENCE R.I.P.- The last great Rock+Roll Star Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu WOW i am in pain now Stephen your letter made me feel the pain that youre in and it brought back the good days when i saw micheal in concert he was truelly the greatest artist of ALL time in my mind Thanks for that letter It was great Julie X-Originating-IP: [206.190.31.254] From: "Donna Driscoll" To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: RE: [INXS] funeral on TV Date: Tue, 25 Nov 1997 11:07:46 PST Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I keep searching websites to see if anyone will be telecasting the funeral here in the States. I'll let the list know if I find out anything. So far, a search of CNN, MSNBC, VH1 & MTV have turned up empty. VH1 does have a "VH1 Special, TBA" notation at midnight, ET, on Wednesday. Wonder if this is for the funeral? Is it just me, or did MTV put more emphasis on Curt Kobain's death than they are on Michael's? It seems that all they've done is replay a 1/2 hour of their rocumentary from 1989 numerous times on Saturday. It's sad to think that MTV is so unaware of the impact his passing has had. I realize that awards & honors don't mean that much in the big picture, but while I was at the MTV site, I looked up the top 500 from a few weeks ago. INXS had 6 songs in the 500, as follows: #30 -- Need You Tonite/Mediate #157 -- New Sensation #193 -- Devil Inside #235 -- What You Need #253 -- Never Tear Us Apart #346 -- The One Thing ~*~ Donna ~*~ From: "Bischoff; Nicole L" To: "'inxs-list@iastate.edu'" Subject: RE: [INXS] Thinking of you all....

Take in consideration that it was only a mere 270! So forgive me if this has been discussed before. I was wondering if anyone who lives in or close to London was getting together on Wednesday night just to do exactly what Stazya suggested. I am going to light a candle, drink a glass of wine, and just say goodbye to the greatest man who has ever walked the face of this earth. I thought it would make me feel better, seeing that the funeral would be Wednesday evening London time. I wrote a long letter to michael, and in the end got rid of so much of my grief. It just felt good to write it down, get it all out, cry my heart out, and to believe that wherever he is now, he will be able to read my letter. Like Stazya said .... (and I quote) So, what I'd like to suggest to everyone. Make a list of everything that's right in your life at the moment, tap into that perfect happiness and dedicate it to Michael. Turn on any song that will get your feet moving and dance with abandon. Cry if you want to but keep dancing - sing your lungs out and give all that energy back to him. If you feel silly doing it by yourself, then have a party - a great big rip-roaring party and dance till you're sweaty and tired. Say a prayer, light a candle, bark at the moon or whatever it is you believe in. We can't be at the funeral to say good bye, so make your own ceremony. Be a pagan like me and set a place for him at dinner tomorrow. Just love him, remember him and honour him. We can do no more. Let me know if anyone is planning on doing this please, because I really don't want to do it alone. Ester. (e_steyn@hotmail.com) - as I don't receive hundreds of postings on that address.

Kind of sums up what I think at the moment. I also am a bit irritated by the way the band is getting attention now - when there is no point to it. An increase in sales is hardly going to do the band any good now is it? I may not be as big a fan as I used to be (and certainly not compared to some on this list) but I will still miss the music. Unfortunately the first thing that came to mind on being told the news on Saturday morning is "What a twat!" I can't understand why he would do it. He had a daughter he apparently adored, a girlfriend/fiancee he loved, INXS where on a 20th anniversary tour and about to play on home soil for the first time in 4 years. WHY would he do it? I only hope that his daughter manages to get over the loss as she is the one person who will truly miss him. If any of this offends anyone - I'M SORRY! But I felt exactly the same way (with the exception of the anniversary tour) when Kurt Cobain did it, and I am/was a bigger Nirvana fan than INXS, so I don't mean too sound like I'm picking on anyone.

Love and peace to all, Jenifer We are searching; we are not alone. ______________________________________________________________________ Wednesday, November 26, 1997 Publicist ties up rights to pop star's funeral By LES KENNEDY and NICK PAPADOPOULOS The funeral of the rock star Michael Hutchence would be carried live as a "special news presentation" on the Seven Network as part of a deal organised by the publicist Harry M. Miller. It is understood that Mr Miller has secured the international television rights for an undisclosed sum. Representatives from other television stations and all print and radio news organisations will be barred from entering the service under the deal announced yesterday. The funeral, beginning 2.30pm tomorrow at St Andrew's Cathedral in George Street, is almost certain to attract a who's who of the music and entertainment industry from around the world. INXS music will be played, the Herald has learned, but the Hutchence family had yet to decide exactly which songs. The 37-year-old lead singer will then be cremated. A spokeswoman for Channel 7 stressed yesterday that "absolutely no payment" had been made to present the funeral and that presenter Anne Fullwood had been chosen specifically by the Hutchence family to provide commentary. Mr Miller said although all other major television networks have been barred, arrangements have been made for Channel 7 to make recorded copies of the service to be distributed to the networks within 30 minutes of the service ending. "Hutchence's parents have requested that there be no access to the cathedral during the service [to print and radio media]," said the statement. "However, special areas will be allocated outside the cathedral to allow recording and photographic access." The statement issued by Harry M. Miller added: "In view of recent criticism of media paparazzi and their alleged invasion of privacy, we are sure you will agree with the family of Michael Hutchence that their wish for a private funeral service be respected and upheld." The Dean of Sydney, the Very Rev Boak Jobbins, who will conduct the service, said yesterday: "Inserted in what is a traditional Anglican funeral service there will be a number of pieces of music - some of them traditional and some of them quite modern." Archbishop Harry Goodhew said last night the death had reminded people of the fragility of life. Late yesterday, Hutchence's parents, Mr Kelland Hutchence and Mrs Patricia Glassop, met their son's grief-stricken partner, Ms Paula Yates, at her hotel to discuss funeral arrangements. A day after her arrival in Australia, police spoke to Ms Yates for the first time in a bid to unravel clues to his hanging death at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel at Double Bay on Saturday. They have made arrangements to conduct a more formal interview with her, possibly today. Police also confirmed yesterday that they had received a statement from actress Kym Wilson, the last person to see Hutchence alive in the early morning hours of Saturday. They said they want to speak to her again to clarify a number of points made in her statement.

I've emailed both Tony and Sharon in Australia, requesting a tape. Would it be possible for them to send the tapes to specific people here in the states, and wherever else tapes are needed. Then these people could make copies for others, the originals could be passed around, or whatever it takes? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It would be nice if everyone who wants one, gets one, and it would be nice if the Australians didn't have to do all the work. :) Amy Lynne X-Sender: ndoko@polymail.calpoly.edu Date: Tue, 25 Nov 1997 16:55:47 -0800 To: inxs-list@iastate.edu From: Nick Doko Subject: Re: Re[2]: [INXS] funeral on TV Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu CM, Once again you make it as if Michael chose to end his life like he would have chosen a new Porsche vs. a BMW. It is not that simple. I'll refer you to my earlier post. I'm not a liscensed psychologist, but I do have a basic human level of compassion. Yes I'm angry that Michael committed suicide. Does that mean I have a right to hate him forever? Because his death ended INXS, ended his life, and most of all left a little girl fatherless? I suppose I could hate him for all of those things. Or, I could be compassionate and realize that he did not act under a stable mind. There has never been a suicide VICTIM who acted under "right mind". Rather, suicide is a result of dysfunctioning nueral networks. Michael had no "free pass" to an escape. I'd be willing to bet that he had a very taxing and painful decision (if you can even argue that he was rational at the time) about taking his life. Not all of us are so strong as you, CM, to think that we will never have to deal with suicide personally, if it is us or someone we love. I for one have realized that the ones we love can be taken from us at any time. I choose to remember the good about those people. I do not ignore the bad. I just try to be positive. If you hold Michael guilty, then be sure to hold every other person in this world who suffers from mental retardataion, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, mania, alzheimer's, parkinsons, and every other mental illness to blame. After all, it was their choice that has allowed the world to laugh at them, right? Or is that not what you said. The man is dead. Speak kindly of the dead for you shall be among them yourself someday. -Nick At 05:31 PM 11/25/97 -0500, you wrote: > > I think we're misplacing our anger here.

And with the funeral tomorrow at 2.30pm Sydney time,i think we all should remember the good times of our hero by playing our favorite INXS song out loud at that time,so Michael knows how we all feel about him and his music that he has bought us to live with and love.

(Let me preface the story by saying it has been 3 days now, so I'm somewhat in less of a pissed off mood.) Well my friend proceeds to rag on me as to why I didn't stop by for a visit with my girlfriend this past weekend. (She lives about 350 miles ???km from where I'm at right now.) My friend also noticed that I'm stuffed up with a head cold. Explaining that A: I was sick and B: I was doing some wiring inside my house, I just didn't have time. Well my friend continued to rag on me. So, not looking for attention, but just trying to get the guy off my back I say, "I also lost one of the most important influences in my life." Of course he didn't get it. So I ask, "What's my favorite band?" He then says, "Oh yeah I heard about that. It's no big deal, he was a druggie you know." That was it. I was pissed. However, rather than go ballistic, I simply said, "He wasn't a druggie, he was a human being. Maybe you don't care, but there are those of us who do." With that I said goodbye and hung up. God! Does anyone give a shit? I suppose we are unique on the list, but please, can't the world have some common decency? Immediately when I hung up I went on-line to you guys. I'm not looking for sympathy and I apologize for rambling on. I just wanted to share my grief and frustration with all of you. I thought I was getting over this, but it's people like my "friend" (yeah right) that make me realize it's going to be a while. If any of you have jerk wads like these around, please don't hesitate to come to the list. I already feel better and have you guys to thank. I for one will be toasting Michael tomorrow night at 7:30 PM California time. Nick "Push away those bitter tears......push away, push away, push away......"

So strange how we all feel so alone in our grief. So many new messages to read, I don't know if anyone will get to this one. But that's ok, this is for me anyway..... If you've never heard "Why should I cry for you?" by Sting, you should. It's a beautiful song and it suits my mood. Dear Michael, It's been a couple days since I heard you had left us. Things aren't much better since. I'm sure you don't remember, but the last 3 times you were in Dallas I was right up front singing along with you. INXS was my favorite. Anyone who knew me knew that. And I guess you were always INXS to me. My friends used to have this joke where we said.."if I had to do a guy it would be...." It's silly but I really did idolize you. I can't help but think you hated that. You're just a man right? Michael, you were amazingly talented. I don't understand anything anymore. Why did you have to leave us? Of all the garbage on the radio and people I hated, why did they have to take the one person I loved. I just feel kind of numb right now. This giant black hole in my chest. I never met you, yet I feel like my best friend is gone. I tried to listen to the new cd last night and I just burst into tears. I don't know if I'll listen for a while. Maybe it's for the best. I just want to hold on to the memories for as long as I can. I hope that you know how many people adored you. Wherever you are Michael, I hope you have found peace. We all love and miss you. number one fan, Brett "On and on the rain will say, how fragile we are...."

Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Everyone appears to be assuming that now that Michael is dead, INXS will end. I don't believe this to be the case. There are still five other extremely talented members of INXS, who are alive. I don't think for one second that they're going to give up something they've nurtured since its birth. They are no doubt of the same opinion that I am that Michael would've wanted them to continue the band. Sure they'll have to get a new lead singer to replace Michael (no easy task, as we can all image - but we wont get into that), but just look at Van Halen - how many lead singers have they had? Genesis and Pink Floyd are the same. Any of the other members for example, could easy pick up the microphone in Michael's absence. So for all of you out there who are continually saying "his death ended INXS", don't go jumping to conclusions just yet. Give it a couple of weeks/months, until the remaining members of INXS have had a chance to come to terms with everything, clear their heads and discuss it with one another.

I'll be making a few copies, as I think Sharon and Darren are too. I would make more copies and distribute them etc, but I leave Brisbane on the 16th of Dec to move home (finished uni) and won't have the facilities and time (re: collection of expeneses etc) to organize a large scale distribution of tapes. But I most certainly will send copies to people overseas who can make further copies. If everyone who receives a tape could organize a copy to be made, then everyone should get the tape. Please, can people volunteer to make copies overseas, I wish I could make copies for everyone.

Michael was one of the truly great performers of our time.

His death is great loss to us all. At last night's Cleveland show, Simon - long time friend of Hutchence's -dedicated the concert to him. There are reports that Simon shed tears on stage. The band did not perform "Michael, You've got a lot to Answer For" out of respect. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take care, Dennis From: "Hams, Colin (AS01)" To: "'INXS_LIST'" Subject: RE: [INXS] funeral Date: Wed, 26 Nov 97 14:08:00 EST Encoding: 60 TEXT Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu The two charities to donate money to are Michael's supposed favourites The Starlight Foundation UNICEF Again my deepest sympathies go out to everyon on the list and all of Michaels' family and friends and loved ones.

Date: Wed, 26 Nov 97 14:16:00 EST Encoding: 37 TEXT Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I disagree. I think it is the end of INXS as we know it and so it should be. Michael was an integral part of the band. Not only did he co-write most of the songs but his charisma and presence helped create the magic that is INXS. Without Michael there really can't be the same magic. I'm not saying the other band members aren't important. If Andrew Farriss left it would be much the same. I don't think I would really like to see anyone leave the band. As for not producing any more music I think the remaining 5 EXTREMELY TALENTED members of INXS should continue to make music. Hopefully as a band together with maybe another artist or two as lead singer or whatever. However I wouldn't want to see that band called INXS. Nothing would make me happier for the rest of the band then to see them performing together hopefully as a new/different band. Who knows they all have had their side projects over the years. My guess is they will just concentrate on those. It would be a shame but time will tell. Finally, lets not forget the tragedy of Michael's death and remember all that really matters is that all those who love Michael be comforted in this time of need.

Like you said Susana, it was nice to see the whole INXS/U2 thing settled, for lack of a better term. Not that I ever thought there was an inter-band rivalry of any sort going on, but yes, when you witness something like that, you know once and for all that they were all on the same side. The whole thing made me cry too. I can honestly say, anyone within about 10 feet of me had to know I was crying, and I don't care (even though I'd normally go to great pains to keep such emotional outbursts firmly under control). I guess when you're dealing with the death of someone you've come to think of as a dear friend (even though I only met him once) worrying about decorum goes right out the window. I was very upset upon hearing of Michael's death, and kept thinking to myself all day before the show how awful it was that this news should come as I was about to see my other favorite band in the world. Being there for their tribute to Michael has really helped me deal with it all. I still get very emotional talking about it, reading the news reports, etc., but the show really helped me come to accept Michael's death, and gave it all some closure. Perhaps having something I'd longed for for so long come about (the U2 show) at this precise moment was a blessing, as it gave me something to take my mind off Michael. I live 11 hours from San Antonio (by car), and drove down right after reading of Michael's death. I was an absolute wreck, and, as a result ended up missing the highway I meant to be on and drove 100 miles out of my way and didn't notice it until my husband woke up and asked "where are we?" Fortunately, he was very cool, acknowledged I had a lot on my mind, and didn't mention it again. I'm beginning to ramble here, but I guess my main point is, I am so thankful that I got to be there for U2's tribute to Michael. The show would've meant a lot to me even if nothing had happened with Michael to cause a tribute like this one, but, seeing them honor my other favorite musician has made it the most important U2 show I've ever seen or will ever see (God willing) in my life.

I was at that show in Cleveland and indeed, Simon sang his first song then announced he would not be very talkative that night, and that he was dedicating the whole show to Michael. Later, Simon stopped the show (the audience got dead quiet, something I never believed I would EVER hear at a DD concert) and he said that in this business, you make few friends, but Michael was one of his best. He said doing this show was incredbly hard (I am guessing he found out not too soon before the show itself) He asked everyone to take a moment to think of Paula and Tiger Lily, and how lost they were going to be without him. He then just said, I just can't, I just can't believe it, and he broke down in tears (along with half the crowd--a DD crowd is sure to be full of INXSers, too) I personally was bawling but I cried out when he dedicated the show to Michael "Yes--thank you Simon!" because I was really hoping he was going to acknowledge it. I had only heard a few hours earlier myself and was still somewhat in shock. Simon then played the most emotional version of Save a Prayer I have ever heard. I thought it was one of the most touching moments I have ever seen in a rock concert.

Then these people could make copies for others, the originals could be passed around, or whatever it takes? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Colin, you have voiced (or typed) my thoughts exactly. I was asked this question by a friend of mine who is also a big fan, and I said that I thought that they might continue, but not under the name INXS. Michael, with all due respects to the others, made INXS what they were. He was the difference between the band being reasonably successful and the superstars that they are (or were). There is no way that he could ever be replaced, we all agree on that, and to simply get a new singer and carry on would seem like they were doing just that. As for the other question about no more INXS albums, I would be surprised if there wasn't another album, particularly a live album. Perhaps an album comprising of unreleased material, live tracks and rehearsal material. Now that would be something special. I'm not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but the last ever rehearsal by INXS was recorded by Channel 9 in Sydney for an upcoming interview. Although it would be very sad (to say the least) to see, it would be nice to see it released also.

Kind of sums up what I think at the moment. I also am a bit irritated by the way the band is getting attention now - when there is no point to it. An increase in sales is hardly going to do the band any good now is it? I may not be as big a fan as I used to be (and certainly not compared to some on this list) but I will still miss the music. Unfortunately the first thing that came to mind on being told the news on Saturday morning is "What a twat!" I can't understand why he would do it. He had a daughter he apparently adored, a girlfriend/fiancee he loved, INXS where on a 20th anniversary tour and about to play on home soil for the first time in 4 years. WHY would he do it? I only hope that his daughter manages to get over the loss as she is the one person who will truly miss him. If any of this offends anyone - I'M SORRY! But I felt exactly the same way (with the exception of the anniversary tour) when Kurt Cobain did it, and I am/was a bigger Nirvana fan than INXS, so I don't mean too sound like I'm picking on anyone.

I was at the U2 concert in San Antonio and was incrediably moved by their tribute to Michael. After the end of the show , when they played "never tear us apart" it was like he was right there, ready to come into the spotlight. I cried so hard because it will never happen again. Has the ruling been made on the cause of death? This is similiar to the death of a friend of mine several years ago, they thought it was suicide and it turned out to be murder.

CW played support with them before, and they were a band who DO socialise with their support band . Many bands don't ! (CW are also a band who care about the support, I found that out by chatting with other bands backing up the lads ) Michael approached the extras to ask them if they were warm enough, as darkness fell, and if anyone needed anything . Is that a 'star' who had it go to their head ? Seemingly not . A genuine man with a regard for those involved with their work . It was apparent that the album was their last shot at making the big-time , and the lads expressed that to me . Down to earth guys with agendas such as families, homes, and a career . Obviously I had encountered a nice guy who was well grounded as a professional, and deserved success .Cheers Michael, and thanks for caring .

I am amazed at the lack of coverage on MH. i saw a small mention of them talking about MH on "The View" on Monday. Mon afternoon on MTV Live the guy that hosts 120 minutes talked about MH for a minute or two. Other than that I have seen no mention of his death anywhere aside from the internet. It is disgusting we have to endure Anna Nicole Smith interviews, Will Smith wedding updates, Coolios arrest and other mundane stories. Suicide is not a pretty topic...but an important person in the music business has died. Does anyone in the US news media care to cover this for more than 1 minute? We had plenty of coverage on Kurt Cobain why isn't MH getting the coverage he deserves? I am just voicing my anger at the media. I see from others I am not alone in this disappointment in coverage. I will be looking forward to hearing from those who will be at St Andrews and to hear everything that happened, who was there ...EVERYTHING. Please add me to the ever growing list of those wanting a video copy of the funeral. When i first heard about MH fri night..it was an email from my cousin saying she heard something on CNN about a possible suicide involving MH. I was in denial and shock and hoping she was wrong. I was ready to be mad on the chance she heard wrong and got me all worked up for nothing. then i got up the nerve to tune into CNN to get the news myself. it was the first item top of the hour. What a nightmare. Are there any other fans in Seattle? I feel alone in my sadness here in this city. thank god for the list. I see i'm not alone in my pain at the loss of this special person in all our lives. I can't stop thinking of what the band mUst be going thru and trying to cope. My thoughts are with Paula and Tiger too. I hope the family knows about the supportive fans here grieving. Last time i was in Australia in 1991 I remember hanging out at the beaches near Sydney listening to Live Baby Live over and over and over. I felt happy and close to them. that is one of my fond memories aside from the concerts. Thanks for listening Susan p.s I am really glad to see the tributes from U2 and Duran. that is extremely touching to read.

David Churchill wants £50,000 for a roll of film stolen from the hotel suite where Hutchence died. The pictures were taken in London and show Paula with Tiger Lily, and the tot on her own. Churchill also offered photos taken inside suite 524 after the star's body had been discovered. He said he also had an unfinished song by Hutchence and a CD containing a brand new track. The Sun did not offer Churchill any money.

I feel it would be a lot easier for me to understand with it being an accident, as opposed to an intentional suicide. The "autoerotic asphyxiation" theory could make sense. It seems to me that I had read an article a few years ago, that mentioned that he lived with a lady into sadomasochism. (she did this as a profession) So it seemed like he did have a kinkier side. It would also explain the reason for his nude body. The suicide theory doesn't make any sense to me. We recently had a son (17 months old) (born exactly 1 month before his daughter, on Garry's birthday) and nothing in the world would ever tear me apart from him. I'm sure any other parents out there would agree. So for Michael to willingly leave his daughter... It just doesn't make sense. Just my thoughts, Merrie PS. Didn't Michael own a house in Sydney? If so, why was he at a hotel? Alone? From: ROGRABBIT2@aol.com Date: Wed, 26 Nov 1997 09:32:30 -0500 (EST) To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: [INXS] The end of INXS?

She mentions this list and posted this address as well as Mary's official site, Neil's site and mentions that Neil's site is a great place to link up to other sites. It's bad enough we've all lost someone who we felt close to and we're all hurting....some more than others... and we're still trying to understand the reason for it. But to have virtually no one say or do anything in Rememberance just makes me want to scream and yell ( basically have a "hairy-coniption) 8-P My local ABC news said " The lead singer from the Australian Rock group INKS excuse me INXS has died from an apparent suicide. Presciptions drugs were found at the scene. Michael Hutchence was 37 years old. Next on eyewitness news Will Smith the former Fresh Prince........... Yep all of 10 seconds. How nice. E-news daily did about the same. I'm still having a lot of trouble sleeping. This is in part to the fact that my sister who died birthday was on the 21st and a ggod friend of my family and myself who was 29 was killed in a car accident with a drunk driver. He lost his leg after his 16 hour surgery and died from shock. I had gotten back from his funeral and had taken 2 Tylenol's PM to try and get some rest when I got the phone call. Daemon has..had 3 kids and a wife. He was a cop and like all cops never drove with a seat belt. We were to go on saturday with my cousin Tonya to visit Inez's grave. Instead he died on Monday and we buried him on Friday. The other guy left the scene and has left part of his paint on the site of the state car. They only have partial plates. Hopefully They will catch him soon. It's so hard to put into words how I'm feeling. Sometimes I just start to cry for no reason. And other times I hear a song or a phrase which will remind me of Inxs and I just smile. I feel like a yo yo. I go through these black cloud times and I wonder if I should have a chart done because the last 5 have really been the WORST. Yeah ....I know THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER :^ ) I'm hang in there.

I think that you should re-read what I had originally written. My point is, and I will clarify it for you again, that we were all duped by Michael whose melodious and deep words were not backed by his actions in this case. I never said that Michael took a "free pass" to escape (though in thinking about it that way, one could make a convincing argument that he was taking the easy way out), but rather that we fans (and I consider this list to contain the biggest INXS fans in the world) were giving Michael a free pass for being a quitter, and worse, a hypocrite. He told us that "Sometimes you kick, and sometimes you get kicked." Yet, in this case, when he got kicked, he chose to punt. One is born with mental retardation; one chooses to kill themself. The music of INXS and Michael Hutchence gives me (and millions of people) tremendous joy, and will continue to for years to come. However, I don't think that labeling Michael's suicide as "stupid" makes me a bad person. I am concerned that people on this list will get the sense that "Jeez, if Michael had millions of dollars, and Porsches and BMW's, and supermodels, and worldwide fame, yet still thought he had nothing to live for, what the hell do I as a student/teenager/office worker/parent/spouse have to live for??" Well, I say, "a whole damn lot." And if anyone is depressed or down, e-mail me privately and we'll talk through some things. But, please don't let the actions of one jaded rock star color (or colour) your views on life. He was "just a man." Yours in INXS, CM ________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: Re[2]: [INXS] funeral on TV Author: at UNIXPO Date: 11/25/97 4:55 PM CM, Once again you make it as if Michael chose to end his life like he would have chosen a new Porsche vs. a BMW. It is not that simple. I'll refer you to my earlier post. I'm not a liscensed psychologist, but I do have a basic human level of compassion. Yes I'm angry that Michael committed suicide. Does that mean I have a right to hate him forever? Because his death ended INXS, ended his life, and most of all left a little girl fatherless? I suppose I could hate him for all of those things. Or, I could be compassionate and realize that he did not act under a stable mind. There has never been a suicide VICTIM who acted under "right mind". Rather, suicide is a result of dysfunctioning nueral networks. Michael had no "free pass" to an escape. I'd be willing to bet that he had a very taxing and painful decision (if you can even argue that he was rational at the time) about taking his life. Not all of us are so strong as you, CM, to think that we will never have to deal with suicide personally, if it is us or someone we love. I for one have realized that the ones we love can be taken from us at any time. I choose to remember the good about those people. I do not ignore the bad. I just try to be positive. If you hold Michael guilty, then be sure to hold every other person in this world who suffers from mental retardataion, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, mania, alzheimer's, parkinsons, and every other mental illness to blame. After all, it was their choice that has allowed the world to laugh at them, right? Or is that not what you said. The man is dead. Speak kindly of the dead for you shall be among them yourself someday. -Nick At 05:31 PM 11/25/97 -0500, you wrote: > > I think we're misplacing our anger here.

But you had to go, That is one thing we know, But now, Michael, what do we do? Such incredible pain, But who can complain, For you gave us your heart and your soul. We were there to receive, Who would ever believe, That your giving had taken it's toll. The world still goes on, Though without your sweet song, Your voice is forever still. But although you are gone, Your music goes on, In our hearts, it always will. Goodbye sweet Hutch, We miss you so much, We'll let you live on in our hearts.

I did the fan club thing this summer and got a chance to talk to Tim and shake hands with M.H. I heard the news while driving back to my hotel room in Las Vegas. I was shocked, in fact almost ran my rental car right into a taxi in front of me. Then I was sick to my stomach. I don't really know how to explain how I feel. I came to love INXS through a really close friend of mine who hung out in a club that I was doing DJ duty at. He always requested INXS then would proceed to stand up on a speaker and lip synch to the songs. He looked alot like MH when he would do his little show. In 1992 my friend, having broken up with his girlfriend took his own life. I was in a state of depression for 2-3 weeks following the funeral. Since then INXS has been a major part of my life. Now with all that has happened I am confused. I don't really think that I need to cry, I am not depressed. I almost feel happy because my best friend is now with the one man who he idolized. I am sad and reading the hundreds of messages that others have posted have been almost healing. Thanks to the list, for helping me and everyone else through this.

Many of us have been INXS fans since the early 80's and have watched as they have gone through the ups and downs that have beset all of the great bands from that era. Just as our favorite bands touch our hearts, often so does the music of an era. Michael played a pivotal role in creating the era which many of us hold most dear. Without him, our world would have been a sadder place. The world has lost a charismatic soul who brought happiness and joy to millions.

Well, I hate to be negative, or sound cynical, but I think it's pretty understandable. For the media (never my favorite people anyway), MH is yesterday's (or rather, 10 years ago) news. If Michael had killed himself in, say, 1989 -- he and INXS would forever be enshrined as one of the great rock acts of all time. Think about it -- Cobain only got glorified and canonized because he killed himself at the height of his popularity, when he could do no wrong. If he had instead lived, and killed himself quietly 15 years from now, would people still care as much? It's sad, because every life is precious, but unfortunately, that's the way the media works.

I'm new to the list. My name's Deirdre, and it's nice to meet all of you:-) I just hate that it is because of these tragic circumstances. But the fact that all of you show such a willing ability to care about another human being speaks for itself. Please read on for my response to the following: At 10:16 AM 11/26/97 -0500, you wrote: > > > > > One is born with mental retardation; one chooses to kill themself. > The music of INXS and Michael Hutchence gives me (and millions of > people) tremendous joy, and will continue to for years to come. > However, I don't think that labeling Michael's suicide as "stupid" > makes me a bad person.

And there is a far greater issue here than the rock star, millionaire image. The fact is, that life does take its toll on some people. And ultimately, for them, they believe that they have no other choice but to resort to such a drastic measure. This is the real tragedy. That for Michael, and countless others, no one will probably ever know of the mental torture that went on within the confinds of the mind. This kind of mental torture is a living hell and the wake that it leaves behind is devestating. For me, having been there and somehow survived, this has been a major wake up call.

Shock, denial, depression, anger, acceptance (or something close to that) -- they're all "normal" ways of dealing with this type of thing. Right now, we're seeing a lot of anger on this list. Anger at the media, anger at Michael, anger at ourselves. Please remember that this should be expected - don't hold it against each other, don't throw it up in each other's faces. Let people say what they need to and don't debate each others feeling. This isn't to say we should let obvious not-inxs fans come in here and harrass us or anything, but people working through their feelings, even if it's pointing the finger at Michael, is completely valid. I know it's hard to be understanding with each other when you're already upset, but just try to keep this in mind when you read something you disagree with - take a few minutes before you reply or don't reply at all. Bickering among ourselves is only going to be counter-productive.

Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I haven't spoken on this yet because of my sadness over what happened, but I must say something... My brother killed himself when he was 22 years old, leaving behind a wife and two children under the age of 3. We weren't prepared, how can you ever be. And yes I was angry and yes I though it was "stupid" but it's not. It is stupid to think about, it is stupid to consider, but once it's done, it is devastating. "Stupid" is a word that can in no way describe a suicide. I know, I've been there. Second, you don't commit suicide unless you are depressed. And I don't mean sad cause your boyfriend just left or Friends was a repeat. I mean Clinically Depressed. Now I ask anyone who has judged Michael for the way he allegedly ended his life to answer this question with a good response... How does a man, who seems to have everything in his life - money, a beautiful girlfriend, houses, fans, celebrity friends, and an adorable little girl - everything that we in society think would be wonderful ... how does that man go to anyone and say "I'm depressed"? If word got out that he even uttered those words, there would be people all over the world crying in outrage "He's depressed, try having a mortgage to pay, try living through a divorce, try losing a child, try living through domestic abuse, try living on no income, etc...." Society deems that people with money and power are not allowed to be depressed, that money CAN buy happiness and fame IS a life's greatest achievement. Michael did not do this to hurt us. He did not do this to hurt his family or friends. He did this to stop the pain that was obsiously inside of him. It wasn't "Stupid" to him. And for the comment, "he's just a man". He was not just a man, he was a friend, a brother, a son, a lover, and most importantly, a father. If it was suicide (I'm still waiting for the verdict on this), then he did take the easy way out for himself. He did leave a little girl to grow up without her daddy and that wan't fair. But this is not for us to decide. He did nothing to us personally. His family needs to deal with their own feelings, not with ours. Have sympathy, not pity. Be mad at depression, not the person who is depressed. And love unconditionally, not because of what a person has. Sorry this is so long, I just felt it needed to be said.

I didn't know if I'd be able to put the words together that would say how I've felt. The whole weekend seems like such a fog in my brain, I think I walked around in a state of shock, with the tears coming every so often. And still, as things have started to improve, there is so much emotion and sadness in my heart. And many questions. Reading everyone's words here, and chatting with friends who understand and feel the same, has been such a help. Thank you to everyone who has shared their thoughts. Reading many of the posts brings the tears again. My friend Kris wrote such a beautiful post. It was also a help to have her and Joan here with me over the weekend. It was a help not to be alone. At one point as the tears were starting again, Joan started to reminisce about a very funny happening on one of our INXS trips, and next I knew I was laughing and crying at the same time. But now 5 days later I just wanted to write down some of my thoughts. Not only has the world lost such a beautiful and talented man, I, too, am one of those who feel like I lost a friend. One of my last remembrances of Michael was seeing him before the start of the NY show, sitting all alone on the stairs holding Tiger on his lap. We were heading up the stairs and there he was, speaking to her softly and stroking her head so gently. This is how I want to remember him, as the private soft spoken Michael who was always so kind when we met. This image will be with me forever. As well as the image of the public Michael, the incredible performer, with the most amazing moves and greatest singing voice I have ever heard. Some of the things written here have really struck a chord in particular. Mike C. said that "sometimes, just every now and then, you find something that you connect with and then it just becomes part of you." How true. As someone else put it, INXS is "my band." Its just always been so hard to put into words what their music has meant to me and why, I just know what I feel, how listening to INXS makes me feel. How their whole history, as well as their music and words appeal to me so. And how as Kris said, some of the best times in my life and some of my dearest friends have been related to INXS and travelling to see them. And so, not only do I grieve for Michael and how much he must have been hurting, I grieve for the lose of INXS as well. Nothing will ever be able to replace them to me. I can't even begin to imagine what the other guys are feeling...I hope that eventually there will be a way to reach out to them more personally. Andrew, Garry, Kirk, Jon, and Tim please don't forget how much you are loved. My heart and prayers go out to them as well as Michael's family, everyone who loved him, and all of us. He touched so many, many lives. He will live forever in our hearts... I want to also offer to help with distributing the funeral tape copies, please contact me Diane or Amy Lynne... and please everyone who can light a candle tonight or at the appropriate time for Michael. Take care everyone...

Dont you all think that Michael might of wanted that? Yes we all know they have solo projects that mike wrote alot of the lyruics but have any of you really listen to maybe Kirk's or Garry Gary's, they are as intense as mikes and not to say that ANdrew is still very alive and kicking... because come on we cant deny it it was Stupid (I am not trying to be closed inded but look at all the things that he left behind) I know that there is a hand full who share my view... and I for one would defenetly be right behind the guys if they decide to continue as INXS... and like chrsm@lix said, Be mad at Michael and the manner in which he chose to end his life. He chose to (literally) suffocate on his own hate.

And love unconditionally, not because of what a person has. > Sherrianne, That's exactly what I meant when I said this: Firstly, though, let me say that I do believe that senseless is a better word than "stupid" And to me, "just a man" means that he was first, and foremost, a human being like the rest of us. And I agree with what Stazya said about the mourning process. Through all that, we need to be there for each other. >CM, I agree with you, wholeheartedly. Suicide is a "stupid" thing because it is so senseless. But you hit the nail on the head. He was "just a man". And there is a far greater issue here than the rock star, millionaire image. The fact is, that life does take its toll on some people. And ultimately, for them, they believe that they have no other choice but to resort to such a drastic measure. This is the real tragedy. That for Michael, and countless others, no one will probably ever know of the mental torture that went on within the confinds of the mind. This kind of mental torture is a living hell and the wake that it leaves behind is devestating. For me, having been there and somehow survived, this has been a major wake up call. > Thanks, Deirdre Date: Wed, 26 Nov 1997 16:07:33 -0500 From: Neil Kothari To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: [INXS] [Fwd: MH] Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Path: wn3!worldnet.att.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!131.103.1.114!news1.chicago.iagnet.net!news2.chicago.iagnet.net!iagnet.net!203.29.160.2!ihug.co.nz!news.tig.com.au!not-for-mail From: Darryl Flack Newsgroups: alt.music.inxs Subject: MH Date: Sun, 23 Nov 1997 17:54:11 +1100 Organization: The Internet Group Ltd Message-ID: <3477D313.96C1BD9A@tig.com.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: p38-nas04.syd.tig.com.au Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.01 [en] (Win95; I) X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Difficult to believe what's going on with this newsgroup. I'm 37 and went to the same school as MH (Killarney Heights High) but I don't remember him at all. He was actually one of many students from Davidson High who were sent to Killarney while their new school was being built. It was reported today that he met Andrew Farris at KHHS when he saved MH after being beaten up by six formers (Year 12s, seniors). Those who do recall MH said he was a skinny, nerdy looking guy with bad skin and a lisp, who did get beaten up a lot. For a guy to cram so much living, fame and sex into 37 years, nerds take heart. I'm no real INXS fan although I did them twice - at Macquarie Uni in 1981 and the Syd Ent Cent in 1988 for the very last gig of the Kick tour. I met Kirk when we were both 10 when our families holidayed together at his dad's amazing place on the Hawkesbury River north of Sydney, and he formed his first band. We did a cover of House of the Rising Sun (yeah, I know), and he wrote a few songs, one called 'Diane' and another about a clown. 'John'. He was so incredibly ambitious and enthusiastic about music that he taped our songs and gave it to guy he knew who had his own record pressing machine, and produced our first single! I met Tim several years later (when Kirk was a committed Christian) and I knew they would make it. They were special, special people. It's difficult to comprehend how those guys must be feeling today, remembering how much they were in to music, and learning it was Kirk's idea to get the band back on the road...sad, sad, sad...

I will never forget the influence that this band has had in my life. I will never forget my cherished memories of meeting the band. Having Michael kiss me and tell me how happy he was to see me. As I was so happy to see him, and everyone else. He touched my life and I will never forget him and all of my experiences. I wonder, where are you in California. I'm here too. Perhaps I have met you at any of the concerts? I attended all of the one's here. LA, San Diego, Sant Barbara, Vegas, San Francisco, and the two shows in Vancouver.

As a high School Teacher, I naturally heard all the jokes that were around from the students and I have copped a lot from them. On Monday I wore a black shirt with the "X" INXS badge so those around me would realise I was in mourning. The staff were really good but the students, being immature as they are, just didn't understand. I told one student who was asking me about it that I can't go on (the Oz) tour anymore because Micheal Hutchence died. He said, "Who's that Sir, your friend?" No idea! For those of you who want to read the jokes, read on. I heard that a joke about a tragic event helps us cope. I found it hard though..... 1. Hey, what do INXS do at rehersals? Oh, they just HANG around! 2. Michael's Father asked him if he wanted to go back to his place after dinner. Michael said that he would prefer to go back to his Hotel room and hang around! I bought a white candle last night and I'll be lighting it at 2.30pm with a minutes silence and then I'll play Baby Don't Cry. I'll imagine that we are all outside the funeral holding each other.....

You've helped me redirect my anger, saddness, sympathy and pity to the correct directions. Everyone's postings have helped me to understand my pain and sorrow. You've all made this whole situation a little clearer. I feel like I WILL get over this now, not that I'll ever forget Michael. I've loved him since I was 13! INXS was my first band...pretty well, my only band. They are unmistakeably the greatest. I've never had to grieve before, so I've been pretty shaken-up and confused over Michael's death, but I'm feeling lighter right now. Thanks to you, Sherrianne. I don't have chat access at home, so I won't be able to chat during the funeral, but I'll be singing at the top of my lungs to 'Baby Don't Cry' and 'Disappear', drinking wine and watching a white candle glow. I'll be thinking of you guys and Michael. Best wishes to Michael's family, friends, the 5 remaining band members and all their fans.

Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Hello, all-- I'm a newbie to this list...in fact I just subbed yesterday to get more info on any kind of memorials or funeral arrangements, etc. I'm not a newbie to INXS, however. INXS was the first concert I ever attended nearly ten years ago. I caught the Indianapolis, IN, leg of the 'Kick' tour and even though I had becomed hooked before then, that show certainly secured one more life-long fan for the boys and their music. I remember that Public Image Limited opened for them and I couldn't stand it until MH and INXS hit the stage! I'm certainly not a 'blindly devoted' fan (like any other artist, they had their down moments musically), but outside of Melissa Etheridge (IMHO, of course!), they provided the best live entertainment to be found. In fact, just a few months ago, on the Etheridge list that I moderate, we started up a thread about what kind of covers we'd like to hear MLE perform...although a few folks thought I was off-base, I quickly convinced them she'd do OK with 'Need You Tonight' and 'Tear Us Apart' (sorry to any who are offended at my suggestions...it's just one fan's opinon ). I left my condolences in a chat room earlier...about 1/2 an hour ago...as I did not want to take up room space for fans who are more affected than me by MH's death. Rest assured, however, that at 10:30 EST, I will light a white candle, toast MH, and remember my INXS moments with a smile on my face. Although not an INXS fanatic, I am deeply saddened by MH's departure...for him, for his fiance, for his adorable little girl, and for his fans who adored him so. The music world has lost a talented member from its ranks. Rest In Peace, Michael... jen Date: Wed, 26 Nov 1997 18:41:09 -0500 (EST) To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: [INXS] Re: Funeral on TV Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I hope everyone's holding up ok after this terrible weekend.

Michael Hutchence and INXS have been a part of my life everyday since I turned 14....I am 22 now and therefore, for me losing him is like losing a good friend. INXS has definitely helped shape the way i think about things and this man has left an indelible mark on my life. It's been tough dealing with people's insensitive jokes, and the loss in general has just made it very difficult to concentrate on studying even though I have gross anatomy exams bearing down on me. Anyways, I don't know if I'm ready to expound on my deep feelings about this subject, I just wanted to add my name to list of people who would like a copy of the funeral video. I live in Boston and of course will undertake any expenses involved......thanks, I would greatly appreciate it...I need the sense of closure. Thanks, Hutch for everything.....you were incomprable.

Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Well it appears that everybody has a lot of mixed feelings over whether INXS should continue without Michael. One thing that has come throught is the amount of interest in the relase of an album featuring the "B-side" material, which would be great to see. Lets hope, eh. Whether INXS will continue, is now something that only the remaining members of the INXS can decide and us dedicated fans will have to wait and see.

It was with great shock and sadness that we heard the terrible news. Our best wishes go out towards all who were touched by his work and to his family and those closest to him. Many of us have been INXS fans since the early 80's and have watched as they have gone through the ups and downs that have beset all of the great bands from that era. Just as our favorite bands touch our hearts, often so does the music of an era. Micheal played a pivotal role in creating the era which many of us hold most dear. Without him, our world would have been a sadder place. The world has lost a charismatic soul who brought happiness and joy to millions. As fans, we can be happy to still have 20 years of music and memories to hold on to. Through us Micheal can truly live forever.

I don't care to change your mind as I'm quite comfortable in what I believe. Suicide comes across as the cowardly choice because it would seem that Michael has chosen to leave the world and therefore leave us. That's great that you believe that; I hope it helps you throughout your life. As far as this comment goes...... chrism@ilx.com wrote: > One is born with mental retardation; one chooses to kill themself. > Yours in INXS, > > CM ...Correct, but under what mental state is the choice made? Every mental disorder, and suicidial people are suffering from a mental disorder, is a result of what we are physically born with. True, there may not be physical damage to the neural white matter of a person contemplating suicide like there is neural damage to a person who is mentally retarded,......but a person with clinical depression is born with problems of regulating certain neurotransmitters. The fact that Michael was taking Prozac would clearly state that a psychiatrist somehwhere prescribed drug therapy. Michael may have been born with a A+ brain, but he obviously suffered from depression, a PHYSICAL imbalance of chemicals in the brain. As I said, no one in their right mind chooses suicide, it's a stupid way to go. No, I'm not a doctor, rather I know how to read a book and research before I speak. Before you label people sanctimonious (I do not claim to be more righteous than you or anyone) check your own words Mr. "he punted". I don't see where sympathy and scientific reasoning make one self-righteous. On the other hand calling someone a coward, saying he took the easy way out puts you in the dictionary next to the word. My words = science, your words = judgement. Pure and simple. Believe what you want. As we say in America, "It's a free country."

She mentions this list and posted this address as well as Mary's official site, Neil's site and mentions that Neil's site is a great place to link up to other sites. It's bad enough we've all lost someone who we felt close to and we're all hurting....some more than others... and we're still trying to understand the reason for it. But to have virtually no one say or do anything in Rememberance just makes me want to scream and yell ( basically have a "hairy-coniption) 8-P My local ABC news said " The lead singer from the Australian Rock group INKS excuse me INXS has died from an apparent suicide. Presciptions drugs were found at the scene. Michael Hutchence was 37 years old. Next on eyewitness news Will Smith the former Fresh Prince........... Yep all of 10 seconds. How nice. E-news daily did about the same. I'm still having a lot of trouble sleeping. This is in part to the fact that my sister who died birthday was on the 21st and a ggod friend of my family and myself who was 29 was killed in a car accident with a drunk driver. He lost his leg after his 16 hour surgery and died from shock. I had gotten back from his funeral and had taken 2 Tylenol's PM to try and get some rest when I got the phone call. Daemon has..had 3 kids and a wife. He was a cop and like all cops never drove with a seat belt. We were to go on saturday with my cousin Tonya to visit Inez's grave. Instead he died on Monday and we buried him on Friday. The other guy left the scene and has left part of his paint on the site of the state car. They only have partial plates. Hopefully They will catch him soon. It's so hard to put into words how I'm feeling. Sometimes I just start to cry for no reason. And other times I hear a song or a phrase which will remind me of Inxs and I just smile. I feel like a yo yo. I go through these black cloud times and I wonder if I should have a chart done because the last 5 have really been the WORST. Yeah ....I know THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER :^ ) I'm hang in there.

Thursday November 27 1997 Miller bows to will of God at Hutchence funeral The Australian News Network SIAN POWELL THE plans of Harry M. Miller have been foiled -there will be no deals in the house of God today. The funeral of the rock singer Michael Hutchence at Sydney's St Andrews Cathedral this afternoon will no longer be an invitation-only event with the Seven network enjoying exclusive media access as planned by Mr Miller on Tuesday. The dean of St Andrews Cathedral in Sydney, Boak Jobbins, was incensed when he read about the funeral plans in the press yesterday. Now the public will be allowed into the cathedral after Hutchence's friends and family have been seated, and there will be screens and speakers outside the cathedral. Media access has been extended to encompass overseas and domestic television networks and print. INXS invited fans to pay their last respects to the singer. The guest list remained secret, but friends of Hutchence known to be attending include the singers Jimmy Barnes and Hutchence's ex-girlfriend, Kylie Minogue. The supergroup U2, now on a US tour, dedicated three songs to Hutchence and showed his face on a huge video screen during a concert for 50,000 fans in California ealier this week. U2 also asked the crowd to observe a minute's silence and played a tape of the INXS song, Never Tear Us Apart, at the end of the concert. It is reported Londonbased singer and close friend Nick Cave will sing a solo at the service. Other artists likely to attend include Kate Ceberano, Midnight Oil, Mental As Anything, Phil Ceberano, Wendy Matthews, Iva Davies, James Freud and industry commentator Ian "Molly" Meldrum. Despite the glittering names and the need for security, Dean Jobbins refused to allow the exclusion of the public from the cathedral. "The cathedral is at one level a public building -it's open to the people -and I'm surprised that someone might feel that they could close it off to the public," he said. Following a discussion with Dean Jobbins, Mr Miller held a press conference, during which he refused to concede that his plans had changed. "You know, this thing has happened in a very short time. You just can't get everything together in a very short time." Mr Miller said Hutchence's mother, Patricia Glassop, had telephoned him and asked for his help. "I haven't spoken to Paula Yates and I think the reality is that the funeral is to be organised by Michael's parents," he said.

Alot of celebrates from Tom Jones,kylie Minogue,Helena Christine (even though they didn't show her)and other Australian rock celebrates.It started with baby don't Cry and finshed with Don't Tear Us Apart. There was a song sang by Nick Cave,but tv viewers weren't able to see it because it was for family and friends ONLY The cask was taken out by the five memebers of INXS and Michael's brother. It lasted about 75 minutes and was driven away in a Mercedes hearst. I know this is a very sad time,but i hope we all remember him for what he has given us in the great times we've had with the band and it's music.

I just watched the funeral on TV. i'm not going to say anything about it, as its best seen without knowing what went on in the church. However, I have to mention one thing that Andrew said. He walked up to the microphone, put both his hands up and signalled to the back (where all the fans were sectioned off), and said, 'Firstly to all you up the back, there's more' And that's all he said (directly to the fans). I really do hope all you people on the chat lines, at the same time as the funeral, found inner peace and had a comforting group memorial to Michael. Also, Tom Jones was at the funeral, and Bono sent a large bouquet of flowers. We can all rest easy, knowing some of the last lyrics Michael ever wrote were, 'You're part of me, I'm part of you' Thanks so much, for a week that will undoubtedly change the rest of my life. We all lost a man who we loved so much. And we all found a strong friendship in eachother, that will remain with us for the rest of our lives.

It wasn't until I saw the picture of Kirk, Jon and Tim carrying the casket that my eyes welled up. I will miss him and continue to drive down the street with their music cranked as loud as the speakers will go. And of course I will cherish the two concerts I was lucky enough to attend (the latest being Sept 18, 1997 in Philadelphia). Goodbye, Michael. May those you left behind learn to cope with their lose.

I hate to say this, but since last Sunday I haven't seen a single thing about Michael's death on TV, the papers, MTV, etc. How disrespectful!! Without you I would not know how this tragedy is resolving itself (I'm not a fan of sensationalism, but I do want/need to know the truth for this soul of mine--the emptiness is numbing). INXS has been around over 20 years--Michael deserves more respect for his memory than 2 days of news here in the US. We had to live through months of crap on Kurt Cobain--how long was Nirvana around...like 3-5 years. Jerry Garcia got an appropriate amount of coverage for all of his contributions to music (and I can't stand the Dead, but I respected his memory). And Freddie Mercury certainly got the coverage he deserved. So what about Michael...I'm highly disappointed by the lack of respect being shown him and the band by the US media. MTV and VH1 suck--and INXS even did so many events with VH1 this year. How (a)pathetic of them!!!!! I know I'm lashing out in my grief, and the family and friends don't need more media in their faces, but a proper tribute should be made. I realize the media made Michael and Paula's lives a living hell the last couple years, but his memory should be honored properly by these same vicious hounds of deceitfulness. For all that he has given the world, the world should equally give back to his memory with positive recollections--one shouldn't speak poorly of the deceased, but allow everyone to grieve with positive memories of his life and contributions. Thanks again and please keep the info coming out of Australia to the rest of the world. You all are the beacons of knowledge for the rest of us, especially here in the US. Thanks.

Guess the title says it all. MICHAEL HUTCHENCE : Mr Ordinary Superstar Pop star Michael Hutchence, who was found dead in a hotel room on Saturday, could send women into a frenzy. But when he visited The New Paper's office three years ago, he was mostly quiet and reflective, NORENSHAH SAHARI recalls. He was not at all what I expected. He should have at least bothered to comb his hair, change his clothes and... bathe. Yet, this was the man who could leave thousands of women breathless. Women who would probably have given an arm and a leg to exchange places with me. And where was I? Sitting right next to Michael Hutchence in a cramped van from Omni Marco Polo hotel to Times House in Kim Seng Road. His band [sic] , INXS, famous for its hard-driving rock numbers, was in Singapore in 1994 as part of it Full Moon, Dirty Hearts [sic] tour. And they had agreed to talk to fans through a phone-in organised by The New Paper and SunVic Promotions. Hutchence, Jon Farriss and Kirk Pengilly were there. (The other two members [sic] of the band had not arrived yet.) Farriss and Pengilly were quite chatty, but Hutchence seemed aloof, tired. They didn't make any demands for their appearance at The New Paper. They asked only for cigarettes, water and beer. In the van, the man once described as a cross between Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger spoke softly. When asked about plans to marry his then girlfriend, model Helena Christensen, Hutchence just smiled, and said, "We'll let you know." He kept looking out of the window, and was fascinated by the frangipani [see note below] trees. He talked about how he practised kick-boxing three times a week to keep his body in shape. And about how his whole sex appeal image had nothing to do with practice, "it came from within". But, laughing, he added that the others were happy not to be the ones "to have people snoop after their every step". He had a very deep, sexy, low voice. He sounded like he had just woken up from a deep sleep. And he talked in a relaxed, lazy manner. It was quite exciting to meet what many regarded as a sex symbol. But I didn't get carried away in his presence because he seemed so normal, so ordinary. He was humorous, too, especially with the band. When we got to The New Paper office, Hutchence came alive. He was excited about being in a newsroom. The star presence in the Newsroom was quite unmistakable. There were no screaming, fainting fans, but some staff members did come over to shake his hand and ask for autographs. Others were disappointed, saying he didn't look as impressive as he did in music videos. I was struck by his resemblance to Jim Morrison, and when I heard that he had died, I thought of that again. That resemblance had now become somewhat uncanny. They both died alone, confused and upset. And some of Hutchence's words returned to haunt me. He told me he had plans to take his work to a "world music" realm. And he was keen to spend some time in Senegal. he was into soul, funk, motown, jazz... simply any kind of music. When I asked him who he would like to do a duet with, he said, in a rather sombre tone, that most of them were already dead. Perhaps, where he is now, he can. [Note : The frangipani tree has white flowers with yellow centres. This, along with the banana tree, are believed locally to harbour spirits.] Bernard From: "BPRice" To: Subject: Re: [INXS] People still don't get it Date: Thu, 27 Nov 1997 01:32:18 -0600 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I guess I'm rather lucky in this regard. I haven't had to deal with assholes, really. People have been pretty supportive/worried for me. The only incident was when my roommate asked in a smart ass way how I felt now that my "icon" was dead. It irritated me, but I blew it off. As soon as people heard he was gone, they immediately thought of me. I don't necessarily expect people to really understand. Most people have a favorite band for a year or two before moving on to a new band, and that's fine. But INXS was the reason I got into liking music--I mean buying the albums and so forth--in the first place. I've been a fan nine years and they've been my favorite band for those nine years. So, yeah, it's been a hard blow to take. I don't expect people to really appreciate my feelings in this regard, but I DO expect people to be CONSIDERATE of my feelings, which for the most part people have. I never really understood the big deal over Kurt Cobain's death until now, either. I have a greater appreciation for it (the response to it). It was heart-warming to hear about U2 and Duran Duran; it helps to know that other "stars" are as affected by this as we are.

It was with great shock and sadness that we heard the terrible news. Our best wishes go out towards all who were touched by his work and to his family and those closest to him. Many of us have been INXS fans since the early 80's and have watched as they have gone through the ups and downs that have beset all of the great bands from that era. Just as our favorite bands touch our hearts, often so does the music of an era. Michael played a pivotal role in creating the era which many of us hold most dear. Without him, our world would have been a sadder place. The world has lost a charismatic soul who brought happiness and joy to millions. As fans, we can be happy to still have 20 years of music and memories to hold on to. Through us Michael can truly live forever.

Seeing the "boys" carry Michael out was the most memorable part of the funeral. A fitting tribute to Michael. I have just received some information from a source in the Police Dept. Apparently there was eveidence of sexual activity in his room.....the papers reported that. Apparently prosac restricts the ability to obtain an erection. Apparently choking yourself helps to gain an erection. Apparently there were 2 high class call girls in his room. Something missing from every report so far. He met them at the bar in the hotel. How true this is i don't know. Only a rumour. Can we trust the police anyway? Apparently Michael was found naked with his toenails painted. Why does Kim Wilson refuse to talk to police without a lawyer present? If you add all this up disregarding all details regarding phone calls to people (ie, Paula, Geldof, his ex) then an explaination may surface. I personally find the info regarding the call girls a little hard to believe as they would have been seen arriving and leaving. It doesn't make sense (sex rumours) due to the phone calls which have been proved. I am not putting Michael down. I think he should rest in peace. But the human in us all makes us want to know what really happened. I don't believe he would want to end it all. But i never met him. So, did Michael meet two call girls and take them to his room? Was he naked because of sexual activity? Could he not get an erection because of prosac? Did he try to get an erection by choking himself? Did it go horribly wrong and he suffocated? Did the call girls panic and run? Who really knows? But maybe we would feel better if Micheal didn't decide to "leave" his family and band members......and to a lesser extent, his fans? Michael & INXS are the greatest influence in my life and i have full respect for them all. I just wanted to pass this info on to you all to discuss. Rest in peace Michael.

Hi, My name is uguisu. It's so sad that I have to write about his tragedy as my first mail to this list. In Japan, his sad story is not a big news, so if I hadn't been a member of this list, I wouldn't know his tragedy. His article was so small and said as if he committed suicide because his band couldn't sell albums so much in recent years. But it might not be the truth because you all list member knows that. I lit candle in my heart when his funeral 'cause I didn't be home. I'm sorry not for participating in memorial chat. Today, I say a prayer in my heart that he can sleep rest in peace many times. Michael, I'll love you forever even if you're not here.

Nothing has happened that I thought was totally outrageous (no paparazzi, no harassing media, no idiots trying to infuriate us on the list, etc.). I haven't been surprised by the relatively mild coverage that Michael's death has received, since INXS's popularity has waned over the past few years, but was pleased to see the outpouring of emotions from the fans over the past few days. I would like to see the rest of the band continue on in some fashion. I would not be offended if they chose to keep the name INXS, and I would buy their albums if they called themselves something else. I would also not be surprised if they chose this as a time to call an end to performing altogether, but I don't see this as a requirement. Michael's death has touched me like the death of a friend, which is funny because the death of a celebrity has never had any impact on my life before now (which is a tribute to the way Michael and company touched me). My closer friends who are aware of what the band means to me have expressed condolences, while others have been oblivious. Two have made wise-cracks that I promptly responded to by expressing my feelings over the loss... and they promptly realized that Michael really did mean something to me, and shut up: INXS has been my favorite band since high school, which is funny because a friend and I were recently chatting and he said how there was nothing good that he ever got out of high school. I can point to discovering INXS as the one "saving grace" of that time period. :) The fact that the Australian Prime Minister and bands like U2 and Duran Duran are recognizing Michael's death just goes to show that, yes, INXS really was influential, regardless of the number of fans or album sales. To me, they were always the best, and that was all that mattered. Reverend Jobbins' comment about how he sang to us as if "it was for us alone" could not be more accurate, from my perspective, and I'm glad to see that my impression of him as being a "real" person was accurate. Although I haven't been as "active" a fan recently, INXS is still my favorite band. Unlike most of the folks on this list, the first thing I did upon hearing of his death was dig out some albums and start playing them. Freedom Deep and Kill the Pain moved me more than ever, and I can't help but smiling when I hear INXS now. I don't know why, but it seems to have taken on even more of a special meaning to me. As I'm typing this on Thanksgiving Day morning, CNN has just played some coverage of the funeral, and it was beautiful. They played Never Tear Us Apart (which has always been a favorite of mine) and I cried for the first time for my favorite icon. Rest in peace, Michael. I'll miss you, but never forget you.

A lot of you were really in bad shape last night. Again, thanks. This morning I saw a segment of the funeral on CNN. I didn't have a tape to record it on, but if they show it again, I'm ready. Michael's casket was covered in purple iris', with a single tigerlily. Purple iris have always been my favorite flower. Now I love them even more. His casket looked breathtaking with the flowers on it. They also showed Paula and Tiger walking into the church, and Kylie, plus sweet sister T speaking and Rhett saying good-bye. In the background you could hear Michaels voice, singing NTUA. Then they showed the guys carrying the casket out. To be honest, I only remember seeing Kirk. I was in tears by then.

In an emotional service before Hutchence's family and a Who's Who of Australian rock, an INXS band member asked fans not to harm themselves in their mourning. ``We ask the band's fans and those touched by his death not to react in any way to hurt themselves. Michael would not have wanted that,'' said Andrew Farriss, who for the past 20 years formed the INXS songwriting team with Hutchence. Hutchence, 37, was found hanging by a belt from the back of his hotel room door in Sydney last Saturday. A post-mortem found he died from hanging, but a coroner has not yet determined whether Hutchence had committed suicide. INXS is one of Australia's most successful rock bands and frontman Hutchence had been described as a cross between the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger and the late Jim Morrison of The Doors, who died aged 27 in a Paris hotel. As Hutchence's carved wood coffin was carried from St Andrew's Cathedral, a crying Yates followed, carrying the couple's 16-month-old daughter Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily. The coffin was covered with purple irises and one yellow tiger lily. Yates and her daughter had not been seen since arriving in Sydney on Monday, following news of Hutchence's death. With the coffin bathed in flash bulbs outside the church, Hutchence's voice boomed from loud speakers: ``Two worlds colliding, and they would never, ever tear us apart.'' The British press reported that Yates blames Hutchence's death on her former husband, Irish musician Bob Geldof. Geldof and Yates have been embroiled in a bitter custody battle over their three children since the couple's acrimonious 1995 divorce and Yates said the bad feelings proved too much for Hutchence. Hutchence's funeral service was broadcast live on Australian television, but most media were barred from entering the church. Outside the church in Sydney's central business district, some 2,000 fans and office workers crowded against police barriers in sweltering heat to watch a procession of rock mourners in black wrap-around sunglasses, black suits and shirts, black cocktail dresses and even the odd black petticoat. Hutchence's former lover Kylie Minogue arrived in a black cocktail dress, black veil and six-inch silver stilettos, accompanied by five other blondes in black dresses. Inside the packed church sat the ``royalty'' of Australian rock. Bands such as Midnight Oil and the Angels sat alongside Nick Cave, who sang ``Into My Arms,'' and Britain's Tom Jones. As Cave began singing, a man in a balcony high up in the cathedral started yelling expletives and repeating ``He's dead. He's dead.'' The man was quickly removed by security guards. At the front of the church stood a two-metre wreath sent from U2 lead singer Bono. The wreath was in the shape of a cladagh, an Irish symbol denoting love, friendship and loyalty. In an emotional tribute, Hutchence's brother Rhett said he had visited the hotel room in which Hutchence died. ``I spent some time in his room the other night to see if it had any answers,'' he said. ``It seemed a sad room. It definitely wasn't Michael. Michael, who loved Oscar Wilde, would have identified with the famous poet's last words: 'Either this wallpaper goes, or I do'.'' Hutchence's sister read a poem: ``Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there. I did not die.'' In recent years the members of INXS, especially Hutchence, have been more famous for being famous than for their music. Hutchence had been the subject of critical press in Britain because of his relationship with Yates. ``Over the years INXS have had every type of media imaginable -- the best and the worst. That is human nature,'' said Farriss. Australian music journalist Richard Wilkins said in his eulogy: ``We admired his talent, we respected his dignity and we envied his cool. Michael lived life to the max.'' ``On behalf of your many fans, Michael, we will miss you mate, but we will never let you die.'' Friends, Family and Fans Bid Farewell to INXS Lead Singer Hutchence AP 27-NOV-97 SYDNEY, Australia (AP) To the sound of INXS' hit song "Never Tear Us Apart," blue-haired teen-age fans gathered alongside friends and family to say farewell today to lead singer Michael Hutchence, who apparently hanged himself in his hotel room. More than 2,000 people turned out on a hot spring afternoon for the funeral at St. Andrew's Anglican Cathedral. The hourlong service was interrupted briefly when a man tried to jump from a first-floor balcony of the church, crying, "He's dead, he's dead." "He was going to do a swan dive," Police Officer Noel Flanders said. The man was taken away for "assessment," Flanders said. Fellow INXS band member Andrew Farriss urged fans not to copy Hutchence's death. "We ask the band's fans and those who are touched by his death not to react in any way that would hurt themselves. Michael would not have wanted that," he told the congregation. Fans began gathering outside the 1,000-seat church more than two hours before the service began, filling the courtyard outside where a tower of television monitors broadcast the ceremony. A convoy of black limousines brought Hutchence's parents, other relatives and the remaining band members. Hutchence's English lover Paula Yates, wearing a sleeveless black, knee-length dress and sunglasses, carried the couple's 16-month-old daughter, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily, from the limousine into the church. Yates reportedly had promised earlier to wear the dress she had bought for the couple's wedding, which was to take place in Bora Bora in January. She said she was going to dye it black for the funeral. Yates was comforted by a friend as she sat sobbing in the congregation's front row with her daughter on her lap. Hutchence's casket was covered with 500 blue irises and also had one tiger lily, for his daughter. Celebrities in attendance included Tom Jones, Australian pop star Kylie Minogue and the band Midnight Oil. Australian singer Nick Cave sung his ballad "Into Your Arms." Delivering the eulogy on behalf of INXS fans and the music industry, music commentator Richard Wilkins said Hutchence was "a star in every sense of the word," whose songs touched the lives of millions of followers." Hutchence was found hanging from a leather belt in his room at the Ritz-Carlton hotel on Saturday, just days before INXS, an international chart-topping Australian band, was to start a comeback tour celebrating its 20th anniversary. A coroner has said Hutchence died from asphyxiation but has not yet confirmed the death as a suicide. "Who knows what goes through a man's thoughts?" said Farriss, Hutchence's songwriting partner. "Only he and the Lord knows." Hutchence and Yates clashed with the press in Britain after Yates left her husband, charity organizer Bob Geldof, for Hutchence. A custody battle for Yates' three children with Geldof is ongoing. As Hutchence's casket was carried from the church to a waiting hearse by INXS band members and his brother Rhett, thunderclaps ushered in a spring storm that doused mourners and a large news contingent outside. Hutchence was cremated later after a small private service. Hutchence's Untimely Death Could Boost Sales Reuters 27-NOV-97 By Paul Majendie LONDON, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Legends die young and live forever -- and nothing sells records better than a shocking, early death. As the music faded at the funeral of Australian INXS star Michael Hutchence, rock critics on Thursday forecast that sales of the group's songs could soar. ``It happens all the time after someone dies. Look at Princess Diana,'' said a spokeswoman for Soundscan, which monitors musical sales such as the phenomenal success of Elton John's funeral tribute to Diana. When Hutchence was found hanging by a belt from the back of his Sydney hotel room door on Saturday, he joined a long line of pop idols who lived fast and died young. From Jim Morrison to Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix to Kurt Cobain, his name is now etched into pop history. ``Death is good for business. Death froze them in a perfect moment in time: forever creative, forever young,'' said Daily Telegraph pop critic Neil McCormick. Scottish rock critic Tom Brown put it more bluntly: ``We don't remember the bloated Elvis in his soiled nappies, do we? Or Jimi Hendrix foaming at the mouth in a narcotic fit? Or Jim Morrison raddled, ugly and out of his skull?'' Hutchence was a man who enjoyed excess, bemoaning clean-living rock stars who ``get in from jogging or their therapist before going on stage. I'm just putting up the flag for gold old-fashioned sex, drugs and rock 'n roll.'' But Cobain's mother mocked the pop stars hell bent on self-destruction, calling them ``The Stupid Club.'' Stupid or not, technological developments in recording mean the dead can now sing along with the living in what one critic dubbed ``musical necrophilia.'' Nathalie Cole had a big hit with ``Unforgettable,'' a digitally remixed duet with her late father Nat King Cole. The Beatles, the world's most famous pop group, took two old John Lennon tapes to make ``new'' songs for their anthology albums. After Hutchence's death, the editor of Melody Maker magazine Mark Sutherland said ``inevitably it will focus people's attention on INXS's work. I wouldn't be surprised to see their albums starting to sell.'' There is precedent for such predictions. After John Denver was killed in a plane crash last month, six of his albums hit the country albums chart in the United States. And Britain's Elton John sold 32 million copies of ``Candle in the Wind,'' his emotion-charged tribute to Diana that had mourners weeping at her funeral. It became the world's best-selling single in 37 days. ``Once deceased, stars fade or become legends, expanding in the popular imagination to represent an archetype in addition to a personality,'' said Australian critic Lynden Barber.

I'm a very private person. I have been so envious of the all the people who have been able to grieve publically. I went to one of the chats but it left me still feeling empty. I've been reading all the public tributes and poems and felt jealous I could not be as eloquent. I was getting angrier and angier as the week went on. People joining our mailing list I was thinking, not because they wanted to talk about INXS, but because Michael was dead. Commercial sites coming on telling us to see their tribute sites hoping to pump up adverstising revenues with our grief, personal tribute sites from people who never had a mention of INXS on their home pages before, people begging for copies of the funeral tape. I felt like it was turning into the Michael funeral circus. This afternoon I spent the time reading all the articles from Neil's site. I finally broke down and cried. All my anger finally left me. The folks new to the list joined not because they wanted to hop on the INXS bandwagon but because they too felt a huge loss. So what they hadn't been on the list before, they are here now and that's what matters. The tribute sites were cathartic to alot people. Sometimes it takes having something taken away from you before you realize how much you loved it. I'm still uncomfortable about the passing around of the funeral tape but I understand now the sense of closure many of you need. I still hate the commercial sites being here. Michael hated the tabloids making money off him and his personal life and its seems even in death these ghouls are still doing it. I'm getting ready to have Thanksgiving dinner with some friends. I'm glad I've been able to toss aside my bad feelings. Wherever Michael is, I hope he has found his peace. I like to think his spirit is with all of us, whenever we are laughing and having a good time with our families and friends.

I literally had hundreds piled up to go through and didn't end up reading them all (am still catching up now). Did you end up going? I actually met up with some old 'INXS friends' from the days when we all used to hang out at their Sydney studios. It was very sad to see them again under such horrible circumstances, but I'm glad I did. We were inside the church and all sat together. Michael knew our group pretty well - he actually asked me once a few years ago did we still all see each other and was pretty disappointed when I told him, for the most part, we had drifted apart. I think he would really have been happy to have seen us all there together yesterday. If you would like to email and talk more about the service or just INXS, please do.

I have a friend who had a similar thing to say. I can't believe she was that callous, especially since she knows I've loved the band for 15 years and knew Michael. But there you go.

They also showed a longer clip on CBS Up to the Minute at around 4:30 am CST. The longer clip showed Rhett giving his speech (but they played NTUA), Paula and Tiger, and then showed the boys carrying Michael, and then a clip of Rhett, carrying a (his?) child out, and then the hearse pulling away with hundreds of onlooking fans. Each clip lasted @ 30 seconds..... It's a shame that there wasn't more coverage, but I'm thankful to have caught just a bit on CNN and CBS. Thanks to all of you at Neil's and Stazya's chat last night. It was very comforting to be with others....... -Teresa Mystify wrote: > This morning I saw a segment of the funeral on CNN.

It is a normal and necessary thing. Through talking to people and reading the posts here, I have seen that we are all in different stages of grief and that we are dealing with it in our own ways. Ultimately, however, we all need to heal. I have created a new site specifically for this purpose. It is linked at the bottom of my main Tribute page. It is there for you, if you have need of it. The new site is: http://www.angelfire.com/al/rememberance/index.html *hugs* to everyone. We will all get through this.

Several close workmates gathered around the radio with me, and we each shared our memories of the band. It was nice to know that each of us were influenced by the band somehow. Then some rude work people interrupted us. I have found that some people still don't get it, but these few friends did get it, and they were a tower of support for me during the tribute and funeral coverage. True friends are always there to support you during the good times and bad. And the amount of supporting words on this list demonstrate this. I hope we continue this.

Perhaps it's "right" -- but honestly, who cares? If someone is willing to share their pictures on-line with the world, they've got to be aware that they're going to be spread around.

The concert you gave to us here in Costa Rica was absolutely incredible and I'll never forget it in my life. I was there just a few feet from you in the second row and it was incredible. The lyrics, the music, the feeling will always stay in me and in most of us who really appreciate the positive feelings and the better world you were trying to create with your music and lyrics to all of us. INXS has come to an end but the band as a complete and excellent band will remain in our hearts for the rest of our lives. My condolences to the Farris brothers for this big loss too.

I phoned the friends I was neglecting (the ones who understood) and caught up with them. I invited my best friend out for lunch and went and had coffee with my extremely patient husband. The sun is shining a little brighter now, and my chest isn't quite so heavy. And now I would like to wish everyone on the list who is celebrating today, a Happy Thanksgiving.

It was a nice escape from the family pressures of the holiday (Thanksgiving) and a good way to get my mind off the TV and internet as far as Michael goes. As the golf game went on, the clouds started to break (it's been pretty wet in Calif.) and a few times I found myself getting ready for a long putt saying, "This one's for Mike." Yeah, it was cheesy, but belive it or not I made a couple of those and the others were close. Two weeks ago the hills of Calif were still golden brown. Now they are green since winter is here. When I look at those green hills (which are very visible from the golf course) I can not stop from thinking about life and how it renews itself. Michael is gone, but life is constantly renewing. I'm not sure who wrote in and said to get your mind off of things, but thanks. It worked and I feel great. -Nick From: In2MaxQ@aol.com Date: Thu, 27 Nov 1997 23:14:23 -0500 (EST) To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: [INXS] Re: stolen photos on the web Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu In a message dated 97-11-27 22:19:07 EST, you write: << Hi everyone, I really only have a problem with commercial sites with advertising that didn't ask permission first to use a photo from and I will (and have) come down heavy on them. I would appreciate anyone who wants to use a photo on their personal tribute sites please contact me first for permission. There are copyrights that need to be honored. Thanks to you all and for your consideration, Mary Woods >> Very interesting posting and I understand your concern. But I also find it very interesting that people who haven't read or don't understand the full text of USC Title 17 Copyright Law can make such claim or demands. (click here to read it http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/ ) Especially since only one of the photos I saw on the "official" INXS website was taken by the person making the demands. In fact, I saw two photos that were given credit to "photographer unknown" Who's rights are being "violated" by using those photos? First of all, let's keep in mind the reality of the events during the past week. A very dear friend, artist, vocalist, and human being passed away. Not only a loss for those close to him, but for the rest of the world who found so much connection and strength in humming along with their favorite tune or album. No matter if it was the beat of the music pounding in tune with their own heart or the lyrics weaving in and out of the same groove others where thinking and agreeing with in their own mind. There was connection. Personal or distant, it still affects alot more people the the few who read the postings to this list. It's not about copyright law or attempting to rip someone off. It's about mourning....sharing what little we each have or can find to rejoice in what MH had to offer and what the band as a whole gave to each one of us. It's definatly NOT about money or financial gain. I don't see any of these tribute sites offering to sell "Official INXS Fan Club Memberships" with a "Free Goodie Bag" to a fan club that is suppose to be "Officially" closed down by the band. Nor are any of these sites requesting all tributes and cards go to their own post office box. With the IN2XS fan club closed down, all requests to send cards and condolences should be immediatly refered to the address of INXS Managment. It's obvious to me that anyone who is going to post a list devoted to INXS in a very tragic time of mourning for us all, posting only a request to stop infringing on copyrights which aren't owned by the requestor and asking for us all to be "watchdogs" .....their heart isn't in the right place. Personally, I think the more tributes to Michael the better. If they are on the net, in an email, on a list, on a t-shirt, on the sidewalk.....it shouldn't matter. Each is a way for one to reach out to many and share as much as they ever received from MH & INXS. From: "Beverly Sheeder" To: "Inxs-List" Subject: [INXS] My thanks to you all...

I subscribed again after I heard about Mike's death to keep up with what was happening and to check out all the memorial sites (which are all beautiful). Today is Thanksgiving in the States and I spent it at my parents home. My mom is very sentimental so she left my room the way it was when I moved out 5 years ago. One wall and the entire ceiling are covered with posters, pictures, articles, anything I could get my hands on that had anything to do with the band or Michael. I just sat there in my old room and tried to remember where each item came from. My point is, that it would have been really upsetting if it weren't for the wonderful people on this list. I did see one advertisement that brought a question to mind...why hasn't anyone said anything about Max Q? I love that tape!!! I wonder if any members from Max Q were at the funeral? Just a thought.

A lot of you were really in bad shape last night. Again, thanks. This morning I saw a segment of the funeral on CNN. I didn't have a tape to record it on, but if they show it again, I'm ready. Michael's casket was covered in purple iris', with a single tigerlily. Purple iris have always been my favorite flower. Now I love them even more. His casket looked breathtaking with the flowers on it. They also showed Paula and Tiger walking into the church, and Kylie, plus sweet sister T speaking and Rhett saying good-bye. In the background you could hear Michaels voice, singing NTUA. Then they showed the guys carrying the casket out. To be honest, I only remember seeing Kirk. I was in tears by then. My mother commented that she can't remember seeing a rock stars funeral, or a segment of it, on CNN before.

I returned home after spending the day at my Mom's, and turned on one light in my apt since it was dark. I then turned on a second light, and thought about playing an INXS CD on my stereo, but decided to wait until later. The last thing I used my stereo for was the memorial last night, so I had the CD player selected. I then walked to the back of my apt, and the power went out, came right back on, and all of a sudden, I hear Elegantly Wasted blasting through my apt. I freaked out, because I didn't know what was going on. I thought, did I put on a CD? No, that's not in the disc player..... What's going on? Well, after the power went out, the stereo came on, switched from CD to Tuner, and had Q101 selected (Chicago), which was currently playing EW, since they were re-playing the Loveline from April with INXS!!!!!!!! I would NEVER in a million years have turned on the radio or Q101 on my own tonight.......

I have noticed that a lot of the papers and press have said that the Nick Cave song - that Nick Cave requested it be private and for the family and that's why it was cut from the broadcast. Unfortunatley, that's not why it was cut. The reason it was cut is because halfway through the song - what I heard was this thumping and yelling coming from up in the balcony and when I looked up I saw that this guy had thrown himself over the rail. People were holding onto his clothes and he was kicking and yelling about Michael and that he wanted to die. He was kicking so hard he smashed a light with his boot. It was utterly horrifying for everyone in there. This is why they cut the song. And it wasn't Ollie Olsen, just a fan. I have a feeling that 'the powers that be' felt that to publicise this was not in the best interests of the fans and everyone in general, which is why they told the white lie about the song being private. But obviously the word is out, and with the story now taking on a life of it's own, I thought someone should set the record straight. Nick Cave, to his immense credit, kept playing and kept singing. And in the end, it didn't ruin what was a beautiful service.

Shock, denial, depression, anger, acceptance (or something close to that) -- they're all "normal" ways of dealing with this type of thing. Right now, we're seeing a lot of anger on this list. Anger at the media, anger at Michael, anger at ourselves. Please remember that this should be expected - don't hold it against each other, don't throw it up in each other's faces. Let people say what they need to and don't debate each others feeling. This isn't to say we should let obvious not-inxs fans come in here and harrass us or anything, but people working through their feelings, even if it's pointing the finger at Michael, is completely valid. I know it's hard to be understanding with each other when you're already upset, but just try to keep this in mind when you read something you disagree with - take a few minutes before you reply or don't reply at all.

I envy Nick, I think, who got to go out and play golf today. I think these are very good ideas. I feel like I really need to do these things. I guess, in the back of my mind, I figured that if I thought of other things that I would somehow start to forget about what has happened. So, I've stayed glued to my computer and my tv. And to top it off, I have spent this entire time taking care of my child, who has both the Chicken Pox and Toncilitis. Guys, I am thoroughly exhausted. I went to bed three hours ago, but I cannot sleep. Tomorrow, if possible, I will try to take a little time for myself. But for now, I'm sitting here typing...and pondering things.

I haven't spoken on this yet because of my sadness over what happened, but I must say something... My brother killed himself when he was 22 years old, leaving behind a wife and two children under the age of 3. We weren't prepared, how can you ever be. And yes I was angry and yes I though it was "stupid" but it's not. It is stupid to think about, it is stupid to consider, but once it's done, it is devastating. "Stupid" is a word that can in no way describe a suicide. I know, I've been there. Second, you don't commit suicide unless you are depressed. And I don't mean sad cause your boyfriend just left or Friends was a repeat. I mean Clinically Depressed. Now I ask anyone who has judged Michael for the way he allegedly ended his life to answer this question with a good response... How does a man, who seems to have everything in his life - money, a beautiful girlfriend, houses, fans, celebrity friends, and an adorable little girl - everything that we in society think would be wonderful ... how does that man go to anyone and say "I'm depressed"? If word got out that he even uttered those words, there would be people all over the world crying in outrage "He's depressed, try having a mortgage to pay, try living through a divorce, try losing a child, try living through domestic abuse, try living on no income, etc...." Society deems that people with money and power are not allowed to be depressed, that money CAN buy happiness and fame IS a life's greatest achievement. Michael did not do this to hurt us. He did not do this to hurt his family or friends. He did this to stop the pain that was obsiously inside of him. It wasn't "Stupid" to him. And for the comment, "he's just a man". He was not just a man, he was a friend, a brother, a son, a lover, and most importantly, a father. If it was suicide (I'm still waiting for the verdict on this), then he did take the easy way out for himself. He did leave a little girl to grow up without her daddy and that wan't fair. But this is not for us to decide. He did nothing to us personally. His family needs to deal with their own feelings, not with ours. Have sympathy, not pity. Be mad at depression, not the person who is depressed. And love unconditionally, not because of what a person has. Sorry this is so long, I just felt it needed to be said.

Seeing the "boys" carry Michael out was the most memorable part of the funeral. A fitting tribute to Michael. I have just received some information from a source in the Police Dept. Apparently there was eveidence of sexual activity in his room.....the papers reported that. Apparently prosac restricts the ability to obtain an erection. Apparently choking yourself helps to gain an erection. Apparently there were 2 high class call girls in his room. Something missing from every report so far. He met them at the bar in the hotel. How true this is i don't know. Only a rumour. Can we trust the police anyway? Apparently Michael was found naked with his toenails painted. Why does Kim Wilson refuse to talk to police without a lawyer present? If you add all this up disregarding all details regarding phone calls to people (ie, Paula, Geldof, his ex) then an explaination may surface. I personally find the info regarding the call girls a little hard to believe as they would have been seen arriving and leaving. It doesn't make sense (sex rumours) due to the phone calls which have been proved. I am not putting Michael down. I think he should rest in peace. But the human in us all makes us want to know what really happened. I don't believe he would want to end it all. But i never met him. So, did Michael meet two call girls and take them to his room? Was he naked because of sexual activity? Could he not get an erection because of prosac? Did he try to get an erection by choking himself? Did it go horribly wrong and he suffocated? Did the call girls panic and run? Who really knows? But maybe we would feel better if Micheal didn't decide to "leave" his family and band members......and to a lesser extent, his fans? Michael & INXS are the greatest influence in my life and i have full respect for them all. I just wanted to pass this info on to you all to discuss. Rest in peace Michael. Courage to INXS to carry on.

Seeing the "boys" carry Michael out was the most memorable part of the funeral. A fitting tribute to Michael. I have just received some information from a source in the Police Dept. Apparently there was eveidence of sexual activity in his room.....the papers reported that. Apparently prosac restricts the ability to obtain an erection. Apparently choking yourself helps to gain an erection. Apparently there were 2 high class call girls in his room. Something missing from every report so far. He met them at the bar in the hotel. How true this is i don't know. Only a rumour. Can we trust the police anyway? Apparently Michael was found naked with his toenails painted. Why does Kim Wilson refuse to talk to police without a lawyer present? If you add all this up disregarding all details regarding phone calls to people (ie, Paula, Geldof, his ex) then an explaination may surface. I personally find the info regarding the call girls a little hard to believe as they would have been seen arriving and leaving. It doesn't make sense (sex rumours) due to the phone calls which have been proved. I am not putting Michael down. I think he should rest in peace. But the human in us all makes us want to know what really happened. I don't believe he would want to end it all. But i never met him. So, did Michael meet two call girls and take them to his room? Was he naked because of sexual activity? Could he not get an erection because of prosac? Did he try to get an erection by choking himself? Did it go horribly wrong and he suffocated? Did the call girls panic and run? Who really knows? But maybe we would feel better if Micheal didn't decide to "leave" his family and band members......and to a lesser extent, his fans? Michael & INXS are the greatest influence in my life and i have full respect for them all. I just wanted to pass this info on to you all to discuss. Rest in peace Michael. Courage to INXS to carry on. Steve I just have to comment on one of the items on this... Michael's toes were painted red when they were here touring, so I don't know if I would read alot into that. (Also, Garry's fingernails were painted blue.)

Date: Fri, 28 Nov 1997 04:36:37 -0600 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Wow! Just Wow! So, I have to preface this by saying that I was very sick last weekend and I didn't find out until late Tuesday when I checked my e-mail. 450+ message is a lot and just now am I caught up. But, Wow! I think the biggest shock is to discover how much I let a man I've never actually met have such an impact on my life. As a musician, I had a lot of respect for Michael. And in that respect, I never felt that my awe for him went beyond that. Its hard to say that my personal life is affected by a man who I like because of his songwriting ability. Yet the meloncholy attidute I've carried with me since I found out tells me that his influence on me, personally, was far more reaching than I thought it was. And so normally, the question I have to ask when somebody dies is "How do I fill the gap left behind?" But for the first time in life, I'm finding that I have to define how someone has affected me before I can figure out how to fill the gap. I don't watch TV. Maybe two or three hours a week if any. The rest of my life is music. So when I pick a band to follow, I do it very carefully. I mean, if I'm going to voluntarily repeatly listen to the messages and emotions of somebody, they'd better be good messages and great emotions. And that, Michael, is where I underestimated your value in my life. It was the messages. Yes, I admit that lyrically flat pop mixtures of Need You Tonight, Suicide Blonde, and Heaven Sent are what attracted me to INXS, but the other stuff was just SO good. In a time of nuclear anxiety, you wanted to "stop the world, let off all the fools, and them go live with their guns in the sky" and I was right there with you pal. And even though Kick, Calling All Nations, and Tiny Daggers were just glittery pop tunes on the surface, if you dig into them, what they really said is sometimes life is hard, sometime the only way you going to deal with that hardship is to go out and have some fun, and the only person who is stopping you from doing it is yourself. And having heard that album SO many times, I started to believe it. When I was younger, I was very closed off to the outside world and didn't do anything to let myself go. And I remember being very angry about something, and I remember listening to that album, and I remeber thinking to myself that if I didn't go out and just do something fun and exciting that one of these days bottling up my emotions was going to get the better of me. And so I called my best friend at the time, and we went out and had some fun and my life has been SO much less stressful since. And then there was so much more. Song that talk about how people stay in our lives for such a relatively short period of time and even though we may just "pass each other on The Stairs", "we're headed in the Same Direction" we can only survive by having "Faith In Each Other". And I'm not craftily arranging these lyrics as some cute and crafty tribute. These were words that I _NEVER_ intended live by and use as mantra's. But the music was good, and the message one I believed in, so they unwittingly became the words I lived by. And I can keep going over the things I've started to beleive in. You sent a message, and it came through. And now the messenger is dead, and I'm not sure I liked the last message he sent. All these years when I hurt, you told me to Kill The Pain, and I did. You told me that "It was only Time that breaks you," and when I felt like breaking, I knew that in a few months, whatever it was would work itself out, and amazingly it did. And I can vividly remeber the WORST time of my life. I was engaged to my girlfriend of two years and she broke up with me. One month later, I graduated from college, which was actually a hard thing on me, because academics has always been an integral part of my life and that aspect had suddenly been ripped away from me. Two weeks later, I lost my job. Two months later I lost another job and was OUT of money. If I ever thought I was living in the pits of hell, that was the time. But I found an anthem for my life, and I picked up what I had left of my life, and I just started to rebuild it all from scratch, and got my life Back On Line. Why didn't you Michael? So now I'm torn between a lot of things. I so much want to hate you for being a hypocrite. But I can't hate someone who has helped define what I think Love Is. I feel like you've spontaneously ripped something out of my soul that you had no right to remove, but I have to admit what you've ripped out is only you put there in the first place. And I have to be thankful for that and what is left. I still have a lot of things to sort out in my head and it will take some time to heal. But I know myself well enough to know that in couple of weeks I will have come to terms with this and moved on. I will have found something to fill the void left behind, and the comforting irony is that I will probably find something in one of Michael's songs to help me through these times. I will always cherish the gift he passed on to me. But I will also never forget how he failed to heed his own words, and he still has to pay the price of my respect. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= At my workplace, I have a weekly tradition of bringing in Ice Cream on saturdays, from which I usually receive donations to help make up the cost. With the coming of winter, Ice Cream has been replaced with warm Apple Cider. Between now and January 1st, Apple Cider will be a daily event. All donations made to re-imburse the cost of Apple Cider will instead by donated to the Starlight Children's Foundation in Michael's name. Additionally, after collecting all the money, I will match all donations made by my co-workers up to $1000. Along-side I will post a brief history of the band, IZines tribute to Michael ("The Loved One"), Nanci Roider's account of the U2 tribute, the condolence card from Bong, and any other tributes I feel appropriate as they come along.

I hope this is not the same for all of you, as you will all be doubly annoyed with me!

Not everyone has access to the net for information like us to know that the family prefers charitable contributions. It would make alot of money with the amount of people that were to attend. I'm just trying to think of anything positive out of this, as apart from that I'm totally lost.

The New York Post's caption read, "Breast in Peace." Also, there are at least 20 jokes out there already; many of them involve the Ritz Carlton connection.

I have that feeling too. i've decided i want an inxs tattoo, but something a little different. my friend is a graphic designer and is creating some really cool variations. they were such a strong influence and had major impact on helping me create my dreams and goals - i want something that will be with me for the rest of my days.
