I don’t remember when I saw first video of INXS. I can’t remember when I heard their songs first time, but I can say I liked their music so much!

But I want to tell about Michael Hutchence. I know one person who knew Michael and he said me – if you would meet Michael and would to speak with him, you would become his admirer forever. When he spoke with people, every person felt very important with him. It’s no wonder that he had so many women around. Michael had talent of communication, talent of flirt, talent to let every person feel like The One.

Michael Hutchence died on the early morning of November 22, 1997. He was found in Ritz Carlton Hotel in Sydney, room 524. Now this hotel named St. Stamford Plaza. Michael hung himself on his own leather belt. His funerals were in St Andrew Cathedral, and after he ended his trip in Northern Suburbs Crematorium, North Ryde, where set up his memorial grave.

And even now, after ten years since his death, many people asking one question: Why?

Why such beautiful, successful man, good father and wonderful musician decided kill himself?

I read some books about Michael and his life, about his relationships with Paula Yates and other girlfriends, but all those books couldn’t tell me what happened with him. Because of it, I to hold opinion of Gerry Agar, who describe life and death of Michael in her book “Paula, Michael and Bob”. She wrote that cause of his suicide was drugs and wild ways of his life together with threaten bankruptcy and decrease of fame. Those firedamp cocktail is brought Michael to death. I believe Gerry, because I think its things would be disastrous for person like Michael. The stars: musicians and actors can’t live without lights of glory and publicly recognition. Rich people who have so much money can’t suffer of bankruptcy. And when person is famous he can to buy any drugs.

Michael’s death is very big tragedy for me. Sometimes, some thoughts spinning in my head, if someone came to Michael’s room a little bit earlier, Michael would be alive now. Some minutes decides everything. Michael Hutchence always living in my heart, he is living in his music and songs; he is living with his wonderful voice and his spirit. Michael was great musician and I never forget about him.
