    It's hard to believe it would have been your 50th birthday! For the last couple of weeks, I've been listening to lots of INXS and your solo work. I've also been watching Live Baby Live and I'm Only Looking, and your gorgeous face graces my computer background. So, I've been having my own little celebration in your honor. You were an amazing and talented person who was loved by many and deeply missed.

    Happy Birthday to a wonderful man taken before his time.  A beautiful song writer and singer whose words affect my daily life.  I am so grateful to be able to listen to his  music still.  Hope someday to see you again,  happy 50th mate!

    Michael, I was blessed to be at your last concert in Pittsburgh in 1997 and I would do anything to go back to that day to enjoy it again.  You have been my absolute favorite singer for over 20 years and you always will be, as you have the voice of an angel and looks that make my heart melt.  I am so grateful for all of the music, videos, and photos that are out there as a constant reminder of how wonderful you were, as you are deeply missed!  Happy 50th Birthday, Michael!  :)

    You're not really gone, as you are frequently on our cd players or on our dvd players. Your legacy lives on forever and many are still to discover your work with INXS. Being a fan of INXS for 20 years, i must say i miss you, i wonder what great albums would you have made with the band. Rest in peace mate. 
    There are surely thousands of wannabe rockstars out there, but none had your voice, your style or your charisma. You are the one and only rock star. Happy birthday wherever you are!!!!

    Happy 50th (in spirit) to Michael Hutchence-a gentle, kind, compassionate, empathetic, artistic soul who inspired me not only with his music, but with his humanity, generosity, and devotion. All the people I know who met him said he was one of the most kind, gentle people that they had ever met. I wish he could have seen the "light at the end of the tunnel," and I hope his spirit is now filled with peace and love. Peace and Love-Miriam

    Hi Michael, just want to wish you a happy 50th birthday. I miss you a lot, I'd like to thank you a lot because since I listen to you, you bring me so many happiness with your songs, a smile with your voice, and strength. I feel like I'm able to face the world and every problems everytime I listen to you. Tomorrow, I've seen a beautiful red sunrise, and blew a kiss in the sky to you. You'll be never forgotten, and, I think, my favourite singer during all my life. Love.
