Michael Kelland John Hutchence was born in Sydney on January 22, 1960 and died in Sydney November 22, 1997. Michael's parents Patricia & Kelland lived in Hong Kong for some time and Michael attended King George V School. On their return to Sydney again Michael meet Andrew Farris at Davidson high School on our the northern beaches and were shortly after joined by Garry Beers, Kirk Pengilly, Andrew, Jon and Tim Farris now to be known as INXS. Michael although quite introverted, became the spokesperson for the band and with his talent of writing with Andrew Farris, but it was clearly Michael who was the genius behind them. Michael's very private life was often reported in the here and internationally. He was regularly seen photographed and dating with  our Elle McPherson, Helena Christensen,                                                                                                                                                 Kylie Minogue.     & Belinda Carlisle and our Kym Wilson. In the later part of his life he was dating Paula Yates who was still married to Bob Geldof and had a child, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence who was born in 1996. Sadly in 1997 he was found dead in his then room Carleton-Rex in Elizabeth Bay , now Stamford hotel, perhaps from an accidentally hanging, during a from autoerotic asphyxiation. INXS last album 'Elegantly Wasted' was release in April 1997 and it was during his promotional tour that he ended up in Sydney. Complete shock and horror hearing that he had died. Paula came back to Australia for his funeral totally in shock form Michael's untimely death  from which she never removed and she died 17th September 2000 of a heroin overdose, leaving Tiger Lily an orphan. She has lived with the Geldof family  since the death of her mum. INXS song 'Never Tears Us Apart' played in the background whilst his band carried him out of St Andrew's Cathedral. Strangely all Michael's fortune has never been recovered and much bickering surrounds the family with where it went and Tiger Lily living with Sir Bob Geldof. Like many before you Michael, you have  died way too young, what ever the reason you died is entirely up for speculation, but we will miss your talent forever. Rest now peacefully.
