I remember reading somewhere that he hung himself???? Wasn't it over that girl that he was in love with that was married that he was on and off with for years? I loved him. He was so talented. I should go back and research him more.
just saw this on the writer's block page and had to say i agree. i may have been nine at the time of his passing, but i grew up on inxs. it's just sad.
I was of age when INXS was a major force, so I spent most of my childhood and early adulthood listening to them. Still think 'Elegantly Wasted' and 'Welcome to Wherever...." were fine albums.
I forgot about Michael Hutchence! Can't say his death affected me the way Wendy O. or Joey Ramone did, but it did sadden me, mainly because it seemed he had everything...didn't INXS have their best-selling album in years when he died?
Yep- the album was doing well, and they'd done a small tour in the States, but it was getting better. Still, it's been said that they should have never toured Oz that last time, that's what finally snapped it. That's in the official book by the guys and I don't see why they would lie.
He had an amazing voice- I can't believe he thought he couldn't sing at times. His voice made me shiver. I can't even fathom. But it just goes to show how we see ourselves isn't how others see us....

The death of Michael Hutchence broke my heart. I truly believe my youth died a little bit with him. And all the seediness afterward, the speculation, the rumours, and the sadness of Paula Yates' downward spiral...unutterably sad.
I think that's what it was. He was from my youth too, and he was still so *young*. My God, I am older *now* than he was when he passed, he wasn't even 37. That's just...I realize so mjuch of my life is ahead of me now. I can't even imagine otherwise.
I think it broke his dad's heart too. He died only a few years later. It was his baby boy, after all. Can't imagine what that does to a parent. Hope I never do.

But yeah, I was supremely gutted when he died. Especially how the 'tell all' books came out not long afterwards. It was a bit gruesome.
