2023 and this still hurts like hell. What a talented, charismatic beautiful man. Absolute tragedy but his music lives on, I hope you're at peace now Michael ❤
Sadly Paula bragged to Michael's friend Catherine that she gave Michael's dad and mom BARBEQUE ASHES, instead of their 3rd each of Michael's ashes, and showed Catherine that she had all his ashes! Sickening (its under Catherine Mayer "everything you know is wrong - Paula yates).
I attended Michaels funeral as a guest of Rhett & it was so emotionally overwhelming. Like all of us, I remember where I was the day Michael died. He was such an amazing, beautiful, caring soul with a voice of gold. Michael will never be forgotten.
My heart broke seeing the one lily among the purple flowers draped over his coffin. I've never forgotten and am reminded of him everytime I see a lily.
I was 24 years old when he passed I was a fan since I was 13 , now I’m turning 46 next month and still feel sadness of this loss of this beautiful soul . Living a full life full of ups and downs I now understand life’s pressures , stresses and disappointments. Rest in power Micheal ❤️ you are missed
@@patriciawright8786 wishing you peace and comfort in this crazy world . I felt this and totally get it more than you understand I’ll be 48 in 6 months feeling every bit of it . Battling health issues of my own . All my best . Thanks for the insight of your experience.
@@Seekyourtruth777 --Thank You, for being so kind. After a comment, I made that I didn't like it when I reread it. I JUST found your reply, & you are beautiful, & very nice. An early, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you too.
I remember it well myself. Him and Chris Farley both died around the same time in 97. It does feel like recently. I am an 80's kid and while my main music was metal I loved Inxs. My mom wore out their albums when I was in High school. I'm 51 now and it still seems so recent they were as big as any band in the 80's even outsold U2 for a while. I just read a book by his sister a few months ago and that brought me here and I watched all of it. Just a sad time in a bad year for celeb deaths.
Can't understand y he had out 2 do with Paula ,, all u get in poor Paula and hutch what a bout Bob,, a married woman with kids , and ya a rock star who can have any 1 , He made a very bad decision
I'm watching this in 2021 after the pandemic . In 1988 I list my partner in a bad traffic accident one week before Xmas and I was only 21 ....it wrecked my life and took me 10 years to get near to a normal life again . I remember that music got me through so much pain and at that time the band were prolific ...Michaels songs have me so much of a boost of energy emotionally and helped me to keep fighting !! Thank you Michael ❣️❣️
My gosh Helen your story is so similar to mine. 10 years ago I lost my partner in a hit and run. We were both only 24. The last ten years like you, I’ve had to slowly piece my life back together and heal from such a tragic death. There hasn’t been a day that’s gone by where I haven’t thought about Jason. He is still so loved and so dearly missed. The day of his funeral, I was sitting in the car bawling my eyes out after the service and INXS baby don’t cry came on the radio. He used to call me babe all the time. I will never forget that moment in my life. I totally agree that their music definitely helps get through the pain of such loss. 🌹
I am 50 now. Y'all cannot fathom the sadness my GenX heart is feeling. Even now, his voice stops me in my tracks. He was so sexy and talented. I pray for his family. Even now.
Never underrated or underestimated. In fact his memory becomes stronger as each year goes by ! With the release of the new bio “ Mystify “ His life and the person he was is finally being celebrated beautifully “ in Truth and Dignity “” Miss and Love Ya ,M,,,Xx
Underrated? Underestimated? 😟 I’m from the Uk and MH was a god! Such a talent! He was the soundtrack to my twenties. Hugely popular amongst my generation. I started listening to INXS again recently and it’s still genius. Timeless.
I saw INXS in concert Sept 1st 1997 in B.C. Canada. The band and Micheal did a tribute to Princess Diana's death as she passed on the day before the concert. One would never have imagined he would be gone 2 months later😢 I cherish my concert tee.❤ So sorry Micheal xx
I was a teenager and young adult through the 80's and I swear, no singer's death ever affected me as much as Michael Hutchence. It was such a loss of such a massively talented person, who brought the most amazing music to this world. We miss you Michael. Shine bright wherever you are.
2020 and this brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful service for a beautiful man. Although so many years have passed and I am much older, I listen to his music and I am young again. That is the power of music and indeed how his spirit lives on!
Quel bel hommage ! Dommage qu’ils aient été tous présents à son enterrement et qu’il n’y ait eu personne cette nuit là pour le soutenir et l’empêcher de faire ce geste définitif !!!
This is the first time I’ve watched this funeral. It was as poignant as Princess Diana’s 2 months before, before a global audience and was poignant personally when I lost both my parents, uncle and friend of my local pub years later. After watching countless documentaries, listening to many INXS albums, his solo material recently on cd and on iTunes, concert videos and music videos on TH-cam, it’s come to surface that Michael Kelland John Hutchence was of extraordinary talent who has left a wonderful legacy. He will forever be sorely missed in the world of music. A quote from his most famous INXS lyric for Never Tear Us Apart played towards the end of his funeral service, “...cause we all have wings, but some of us don’t know why.” He was built to fly amongst us all. Farewell and keep looking down on Tigerlily, your family and your remaining band mates. So long Michael. Peace... 😢❤️🕯
I remember being shocked when I heard of princess Diana’s death and then devastated when Michael died soon after her. November of 1997 was a tragic month. So much grief and mourning around the world for both of them.
2024 and it is still so sad and tragic that the world lost such a beautiful and talented man. I wish Michael could have seen himself through the eyes of his fans and those that loved him. He is most definitely missed.
Sweltering in the beginning,raining at the end.The angels were crying too.I just bought myself to watch this. Beautiful tribute,my hearts broken all over again. 💔
And the song "BY MY SIDE " Got me a bit teary eyed. He will never be forgotten. Play his music all the time even after all these years. He was truly loved by a lot of people, shame no one was there at the end, when he was crying out for help. RIP BEAUTIFUL BOY. 💖💖💖
The music was " BY MY SYDE" nobody seems to saw his suffering, and that he was so sad and needed help.. My father hang him self too... And it's very hard and sad when a child as to grow up without a father or a mother 😔 i was one of those children... And worst, So famous with so many people around him Michael died all alone... It's just to sad... Rest in peace
i’m sobbing so hard right now, i’m barely through it! this hurts me so much, despite me not seeing him or being in the same era with him, i love him so much .
INXS been my number 1 band since '92. Working on cruise ships, had no idea of his passing. Arrived with the boat in Nov '97 in Sydney happy to finally be in INXS home land when the news hit me like a bomb. RIP Michael, you will always be in our hearts!!!
It has taken me 22 years to watch this.He gave me a wonderful time in 1991 at Wembley stadium,a Day I will never forget,and the Day he Died I will never forget as he left us on my Birthday.I loved his music,his voice,and the band.I still pine to hear his voice.My next step is to visit Austrailia and pay my respects before it's to late for me as I hit 53 years old.Will one day meet you on the "Stairs" Michael.x
Just saw Mystify last night. I had no idea about what led to his death. The punch that started his demise. So sad. I loved INXS as a teen and had a mad crush on him like many teenage girls. He was so talented and had such a magnetic appeal.
“Never tear us apart” became the same kind of song for Michael Hutchence like “I will always love you” for Whitney Houston. Both were great voices, charismatic, now deeply missed...
I wouldn't put Whitney Houston in the same sentence as Michael Hutchence. She was technically perfect but had absolutely no soul or passion. Michael always put his heart and soul into every performance. Like Robert Smith always does.
@Beautiful girl, you are so right. They were both gifted, beautiful, full of so much soul and depth through their music. I will never forget either of them. They just couldn't win their demons, they took them over, so sad.
Thanks for posting this beautiful service. Just watched it for the first time. America loved Michael Hutchence. May his soul Rest In Peace. Thanks fir bringing us happiness through your incredible voice and through the songs you wrote
Thank you for this on behalf of everyone who couldn't attend but mourned. and thank you from me, who had no idea he passed away only found out 10 years later ♥ and respect for those who filmed the service, no family members, band brothers or celebrities on camera, all the focus was on Michael and his last Farewell ♥
I remember watching this in 1997. It was the year I graduated from High School. Michael Hutchence was truly very special and no one has even come close to comparing to him since... Oh that voice. He had such a presence about him. I never knew him other than through his music, but he'll always hold a place in my heart. RIP Michael Hutchence. 🎤🌹🙏🏻
É de emocionar qualquer pessoa, quanta tristeza meu Deus, tão lindo cheio de vida, talento, a melhor voz que já ouvi, jamais esqueceremos de vc!!! Eu ainda vou na Austrália visitar essa catedral e a casa onde vc morou. Te amo!!!
I could have sworn he's been gone only a few years. 20? Not possible. I saw INXS in 1982 just before Shabooh Shoobah was released. They were unknowns in the US opening for a "bigger act." Michael & INXS stole the show. We all left in love with them forever but the main act that day? Forgotten. 💔
They opened for Adam Ant and as much as I love Adam they blew everyone away on that tour.....and it was Adam who? Who are these amazing young men....and then Shabooh Shoobah exploded!
So long ago yet it’s still hard to believe he’s gone. Mike was something special and magnificent. The world is a lesser place since that tragic day and music will never be the same.
37 is far too early an age to pass away...Was something special about this guy Michael Hutchence...Still in heaven with the angels playing and singing..if that's where he wanted to go..love and light, rest in peace eternally.
i was there that day, i remember standing at the barrier and a cop came over to us and started giving us a hard time then the bishop came out and tore strips off him and told us we could come inside, i think there were about 20 or 30 of us in the group, we were led in and then shown up the back and up the stairs to the balcony where we had an overview of the proceedings, it shocks me to see the crowd in this video because there was nobody but us when we went in, i still have the eulogy from that day which were handed to us by the bishop. somehting i will never forget, i was just in Sydney for the day
Michael was such a passionate and sensitive man... I feel like there are not enough men in the world like him, and there should be. I see men without passion or thoughtfulness, and it saddens me... because I remember how beautiful this man was in person and manner. I know why Paula fell so deeply in love with him, having come out of a showbiz climate in England filled with posers and fakes. Michael was completely sincere and we should strive to emulate his example as a person.
But sadly like many of us he had his demons and issues that surfaced and we're heightened because he had that hedonistic life style and lived on the edge. Once he met Paula Yeates he didn't bargain on the impact of this union and a baby in the mix Paula truly loved him and he her but their wants and needs were different and needs and then a baby came along which didn't make things easier. I think Michael tried to do the right thing and Paula hoped he'd settle down. It was a no win situation . I've read the books penned by by Paula and her closest confidante at the time and it all makes sense now. No sides taken for me . I could see ultimately that it wasn't going to end well. Oh what a tangled Web we weave. X
Paula also came from a background of access and excess and didnt tske drugs until she met Michael. Think Amy Winehouse Not saying he's to blame but she joined his lifestyle and his need for hedonistic sex because she lived him and would do anything. She put up with a lot but it was her choice. Read the 2 books available. One by Paula and one by her PA at the time and then you will understand x
23 years and l'm still crying watching this..l was so sad when l heard the news that Michael was dead..what a great loss,fantastic man and singer..il still hurts so much..
@Vic Marrotti I think you missed the point and got caught up thinking the comment was a form of worship. Apparently the man was struggling with drug addiction, *which usually is a symptom of major trauma (like say??? child molestation) but as a veteran, you probably aren't familiar with drug addiction ; ) I'm not attacking you, I too think it's ridiculous how famous people are looked at as gods. It's a sad commentary on society when we exalt celebrities but that's what happens when you take God/The Bible and His Word from the general public. As for our veterans, humanity dies a little more each day, when we accept homelessness as a trophy for the men and women who served to ensured our freedom... Sad, very sad.
@@fawnteach8778 Not just drug addiction, but he did have major brain injury in 1992, that caused him to start acting differently and that is when his depression set in. He lost his sense of smell and taste.
Thank you Micheal for lifting my spirit time and again since the day I first heard your voice. You make me feel alive; I will play your music forever on. Bless you and your loved ones.
Watching Nov 10th 2019. I am 37 and to this day listen to INXS . I love Michaels music and my fav song is Never tear us a part . I had no clue they broadcasted the funeral , i just stumbled acrossed it . Very sad we lost such a talent who's music will never be forgotten .
RtC Extra Thank you so much for posting this for everyone! I have tried to find more footage from Michael's funeral for quite some time now but I could only find snippets from that very sad day. He is very much missed from this world & always will be. RIP Michael Hutchence
Polly Ann Thank you for letting me know about the book! I will have to buy it as soon as I can. I just can't believe it has been nearly 20 years since he passed away, it's such a terrible loss but atleast we have his music legacy to enjoy forever!
Polly Ann Yes he was! I love their music! The other band members knew it would never be the same after he was gone. So terribly sad but most sad for Tiger.
By their own deeds. Sucked into the Ego! From the beginning of their need to project and create . Celebrity and fame take its toll. Less is more . This is often neglected because human nature wants the pinnacle but there is a price. We are learning and evolving. Human perception creates boundaries which we often don't heed and don't learn by others mistakes? I would imagine it's so easy to be caught up in the fame game where everything is accessible . Once you have that , I would think it's hard to find your way back to the Real world. You would need to regularly ground yourself and keep in touch with reality. You'd need a strong spiritual base in the beginning to cope and deal with this world of opulence and freedom to do whatever you pleased. If there are issues within your life before you get on the treadmill of fame then sadly they will surface . We are all flawed and vulnerable . We are here to evolve and we make choices based on our own perceptions and experiences. We are all still learning. So many well known people have testified to the struggle to stay grounded and in the real world. That fame doesn't fill any void . If anything it becomes more apparent and unless you deal with that first then you're hooked . I don't need nor want that kind of life. I'll remain humble and deal with the real world and harsh lessons but also the truth and all the natural pleasures . 😇😇😇
I was there and it was held on the 27th of November - a day before my 20th birthday. I was a fan of INXS as teen and his funeral being on the last day of my teens didn't go unnoticed.
I was 24 when Michael passed and am now 49, have been a fan since I was a young teen. I adored him and his music. One of his songs was my first love and my song and it was his music that got me through our breakup. I had such a crush on him. What a tremendous loss. Still haven't forgotten him all these years later... he really was something special.
Beautiful service ..my dads birthday was November 22, 1944...he too took his life at 37...i am sorry for is all but glad for the music that lives on..peace to is all
Very touching, I was 16 when he left this world, I heard the news on the radio, even I remember I was walking down Stairs . I still seems unreal and still feel the same sadness, still makes tears run out my eyes . May You Michael Hutchence have the peace and love by Gods side . For the eternity.
I remember the news clip. They showed some of his last video of "Elegantly Wasted" as they told of his death. I waited to watch it on vh1 probably the beginning of 98. You can see he was tired. The light, the energy that drove him was just gone even then. His eyes looked spacy and dead. Hard to describe.
Bless your heart, my heart hurts for you. I am losing my brother right now to pancreatic cancer, it's hard to even type those words. He is my only sibling, my little brother and my first friend. I can barely get through this comment, and if I run across it again someday, it's going to shatter my heart all over again...but, I don't want you to feel alone. Keeping you in my heart and prayers.💝🙏
Even Geldof himself said he didn't believe it was suicide in an interview several years later after he had adopted his daughter Tiger Lilly. He was the one who told Michael he won't be seeing his own daughter over holiday in the last call Geldof made to him that upset him so much. That's where you wonder, after what happened to Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington who "died" the same way, was it really suicide?
I wish people could be more sensitive than to leave comments like these under a Video such as this - a Tribute to the life of a well loved , cherished and good human being. Do people have no shame...
I have never cried as much as when he passed away and even Princess Diana's death. I still cry when I hear the song "Never tear us apart" 😔 a amazing talent taken too soon. RIP Micheal.
I was lucky enough to see them live in concert and to meet most of the band except for Michael. They all took turns riding my scooter around the parking lot at the venue. That was fun. Such a great band. I still miss Michael to this day. I had such a crush on that man!
I grew up with you and your music. It was the soundtrack to my teenage years. Losing you was a tragedy for everyone that ever loved you. 25 years later I still listen to your music and watch your interviews and miss you dearly Michael. The world will never forget you ❤️
2023 and this still hurts like hell. What a talented, charismatic beautiful man. Absolute tragedy but his music lives on, I hope you're at peace now Michael ❤
hes earned his rest
Yes, they wouldn't let him have any peace here on earth.
Yet they speak and say harsh judgemental things. Luke 16. The chasm. RIP HUTCH
❤ Michael anima luminosa
Sadly Paula bragged to Michael's friend Catherine that she gave Michael's dad and mom BARBEQUE ASHES, instead of their 3rd each of Michael's ashes, and showed Catherine that she had all his ashes! Sickening (its under Catherine Mayer "everything you know is wrong - Paula yates).
I attended Michaels funeral as a guest of Rhett & it was so emotionally overwhelming. Like all of us, I remember where I was the day Michael died. He was such an amazing, beautiful, caring soul with a voice of gold. Michael will never be forgotten.
My heart broke seeing the one lily among the purple flowers draped over his coffin. I've never forgotten and am reminded of him everytime I see a lily.
He's leading God's choir of angels no doubt,as our world got darker, Heaven got brighter. Rest in Peace Michael.
Was Michael a Christian and believe on God? Would love to know

INXS been my number 1 band since '92. Working on cruise ships, had no idea of his passing. Arrived with the boat in Nov '97 in Sydney happy to finally be in INXS home land when the news hit me like a bomb. RIP Michael, you will always be in our hearts!!!
It has taken me 22 years to watch this.He gave me a wonderful time in 1991 at Wembley stadium,a Day I will never forget,and the Day he Died I will never forget as he left us on my Birthday.I loved his music,his voice,and the band.I still pine to hear his voice.My next step is to visit Austrailia and pay my respects before it's to late for me as I hit 53 years old.Will one day meet you on the "Stairs" Michael.x
Tony Evans that’s beautiful 🙏🏻
22 years on and it’s still hard 💔
Love Michael and INXS 💙
Just saw Mystify last night. I had no idea about what led to his death. The punch that started his demise. So sad. I loved INXS as a teen and had a mad crush on him like many teenage girls. He was so talented and had such a magnetic appeal.
2021 and you are still loved, adored and sooo completely missed!! Keep singing to the Lord lovely angel😢😢😢
“Never tear us apart” became the same kind of song for Michael Hutchence like “I will always love you” for Whitney Houston. Both were great voices, charismatic, now deeply missed...
DO not even compare that with Micheal!
I wouldn't put Whitney Houston in the same sentence as Michael Hutchence. She was technically perfect but had absolutely no soul or passion. Michael always put his heart and soul into every performance. Like Robert Smith always does.
@Beautiful girl, you are so right. They were both gifted, beautiful, full of so much soul and depth through their music. I will never forget either of them. They just couldn't win their demons, they took them over, so sad.
Beautiful girl...YES!
@@anitaszolomicki1167 whitney no soul???? Jajaja
What about the tiger lilly in the middle of the flowers on the coffin? RIP Michael
Thanks for posting this beautiful service. Just watched it for the first time. America loved Michael Hutchence. May his soul Rest In Peace. Thanks fir bringing us happiness through your incredible voice and through the songs you wrote
Thank you for this on behalf of everyone who couldn't attend but mourned.
and thank you from me, who had no idea he passed away only found out 10 years later ♥
and respect for those who filmed the service, no family members, band brothers or celebrities on camera, all the focus was on Michael and his last Farewell ♥
Already 23 years old ago and I miss you, charismatic and talentuous international rock star and artist... RIP Mickael Hutchence.
Невероятная харизма, сумасшедшая энергия, легендарная личность!!! Помним, любим, скорбим....❤🙏
Rest in Peace Michael.. We miss you all .. we will never forget you.. You will always be in our hearts ❤❤❤
Michael and his band lit Australia up and took it to the world but a I ways returned to us .Very sadly missed. ❤ R.I.P.
Rest in peace Michael Hutchence.. we miss you
Tears in my eyes watching this. Thank you for uploading it mate.
I remember watching this in 1997. It was the year I graduated from High School. Michael Hutchence was truly very special and no one has even come close to comparing to him since... Oh that voice. He had such a presence about him. I never knew him other than through his music, but he'll always hold a place in my heart.
RIP Michael Hutchence.
🎤🌹🙏🏻
23 years later and I still mourn the absence of this precious soul. Rest in blissful peace Hutch 💚
20 years later and this still hurts just as if it were yesterday. My heart will forever be broken. I miss you so much Michael xoxo
Crying watching this..
@@elleericson2056 same here

So sad, loved Michael, he was so talented, still listen to his songs today, sadly missed, but never forgotten, RIP Michael.
PEACE MICHEAL 2020 XX
Tears flowing down my face.....i was a teenager when he passed on!!

É de emocionar qualquer pessoa, quanta tristeza meu Deus, tão lindo cheio de vida, talento, a melhor voz que já ouvi, jamais esqueceremos de vc!!! Eu ainda vou na Austrália visitar essa catedral e a casa onde vc morou. Te amo!!!
Rest in love Michael. Thank you for your music.
He was and always will be the best front man of any band. He was loved so much and will be missed forever. 💗
So saddened. I was in my twenties and now in my forties: death is only one breath away for all of us. He is missed.
i was 16 im 42 this year i loved hutchie love from australia
The last proper rock star . That lifts a room with his presence
This is possibly the most powerful and Beautiful funeral I have ever witnessed 😔
Watch micheal Hutchins funeral live again 2020 PEACE XX
I could have sworn he's been gone only a few years. 20? Not possible. I saw INXS in 1982 just before Shabooh Shoobah was released. They were unknowns in the US opening for a "bigger act." Michael & INXS stole the show. We all left in love with them forever but the main act that day? Forgotten. 💔
DrKate L. I hope you’re joking... 1982 was a long time ago and so was 97’... It’s literally 2019
They opened for Adam Ant and as much as I love Adam they blew everyone away on that tour.....and it was Adam who? Who are these amazing young men....and then Shabooh Shoobah exploded!
I saw them too opening for Adam-instantly was hooked on them. So sad he's gone.
A beautiful service for a beautiful man. Still miss him and think of him around this time of year.
So long ago yet it’s still hard to believe he’s gone. Mike was something special and magnificent. The world is a lesser place since that tragic day and music will never be the same.
Когда слушаю песни Майкла ,наворачиваются слёзы ! Молодой красавец ,талант почему так рано покинул нас ?! Очень жаль 😞❤️
cогласен(((((((((((((
25 years have past, can't believe he's been gone that long.. rest in peace 🙏
After all these years, this is my first time seeing this. It's still so terribly sad.
37 is far too early an age to pass away...Was something special about this guy Michael Hutchence...Still in heaven with the angels playing and singing..if that's where he wanted to go..love and light, rest in peace eternally.
i was there that day, i remember standing at the barrier and a cop came over to us and started giving us a hard time then the bishop came out and tore strips off him and told us we could come inside, i think there were about 20 or 30 of us in the group, we were led in and then shown up the back and up the stairs to the balcony where we had an overview of the proceedings, it shocks me to see the crowd in this video because there was nobody but us when we went in, i still have the eulogy from that day which were handed to us by the bishop. somehting i will never forget, i was just in Sydney for the day
Michael was such a passionate and sensitive man... I feel like there are not enough men in the world like him, and there should be. I see men without passion or thoughtfulness, and it saddens me... because I remember how beautiful this man was in person and manner. I know why Paula fell so deeply in love with him, having come out of a showbiz climate in England filled with posers and fakes. Michael was completely sincere and we should strive to emulate his example as a person.
Messylin lindas palavras.
Well said Messylin. Your comment is genuine and wonderfully put.
But sadly like many of us he had his demons and issues that surfaced and we're heightened because he had that hedonistic life style and lived on the edge. Once he met Paula Yeates he didn't bargain on the impact of this union and a baby in the mix
Paula truly loved him and he her but their wants and needs were different and needs and then a baby came along which didn't make things easier.
I think Michael tried to do the right thing and Paula hoped he'd settle down.
It was a no win situation .
I've read the books penned by by Paula and her closest confidante at the time and it all makes sense now.
No sides taken for me . I could see ultimately that it wasn't going to end well.
Oh what a tangled Web we weave.
X
But he also had his demons which were far greater than he x
Paula also came from a background of access and excess and didnt tske drugs until she met Michael. Think Amy Winehouse
Not saying he's to blame but she joined his lifestyle and his need for hedonistic sex because she lived him and would do anything.
She put up with a lot but it was her choice.
Read the 2 books available. One by Paula and one by her PA at the time and then you will understand x
America loves and misses Michael H for over 20 years now
Lovely send off
But why didn't mickeal Hutchinson family get Tiger Lily why x
Ask Bob "Murderer" Geldof.
@@lynjones9339 The Courts probably thought she needed her 3 half sisters.
23 years and l'm still crying watching this..l was so sad when l heard the news that Michael was dead..what a great loss,fantastic man and singer..il still hurts so much..
The saddest part is that nobody recognised his suffering.....
@Vic Marrotti I think you missed the point and got caught up thinking the comment was a form of worship.
Apparently the man was struggling with drug addiction, *which usually is a symptom of major trauma (like say??? child molestation) but as a veteran, you probably aren't familiar with drug addiction ; )
I'm not attacking you, I too think it's ridiculous how famous people are looked at as gods. It's a sad commentary on society when we exalt celebrities but that's what happens when you take God/The Bible and His Word from the general public.
As for our veterans, humanity dies a little more each day, when we accept homelessness as a trophy for the men and women who served to ensured our freedom... Sad, very sad.
@Vic Marrotti Added perspective
th-cam.com/video/xOpP-TEcKF4/w-d-xo.html
@@fawnteach8778 Not just drug addiction, but he did have major brain injury in 1992, that caused him to start acting differently and that is when his depression set in. He lost his sense of smell and taste.
@Vic Marrotti not the same at all mate why are yu even here 😏😏
@Vic Marrotti People have different kinds of combat mate. You don't need to trumpet yours.
RIP Michael on your 26th anniversary. We miss you! 😢
Thank you Micheal for lifting my spirit time and again since the day I first heard your voice. You make me feel alive; I will play your music forever on. Bless you and your loved ones.
Watching Nov 10th 2019. I am 37 and to this day listen to INXS . I love Michaels music and my fav song is Never tear us a part . I had no clue they broadcasted the funeral , i just stumbled acrossed it . Very sad we lost such a talent who's music will never be forgotten .
Wow..it's just one of our saddest days. We all wanted to see this amazing guy grow old. He would be still impressing us I'm sure.
RtC Extra Thank you so much for posting this for everyone! I have tried to find more footage from Michael's funeral for quite some time now but I could only find snippets from that very sad day. He is very much missed from this world & always will be. RIP Michael Hutchence
Read Michael it's a beautiful book about a beautiful man.
Polly Ann Thank you for letting me know about the book! I will have to buy it as soon as I can. I just can't believe it has been nearly 20 years since he passed away, it's such a terrible loss but atleast we have his music legacy to enjoy forever!
Lori Love he was a genuis with a heart of gold.
Lori Love There early stuff is their best things started to change after Kick.
Polly Ann Yes he was! I love their music! The other band members knew it would never be the same after he was gone. So terribly sad but most sad for Tiger.
Who said the 90s was great we lost more actors musicians gone too soon Michael huttance, kurt Cobain , river Phoenix how they all passed far too soon.
By their own deeds. Sucked into the Ego!
From the beginning of their need to project and create . Celebrity and fame take its toll.
Less is more . This is often neglected because human nature wants the pinnacle but there is a price.
We are learning and evolving. Human perception creates boundaries which we often don't heed and don't learn by others mistakes?
I would imagine it's so easy to be caught up in the fame game where everything is accessible .
Once you have that , I would think it's hard to find your way back to the Real world.
You would need to regularly ground yourself and keep in touch with reality.
You'd need a strong spiritual base in the beginning to cope and deal with this world of opulence and freedom to do whatever you pleased.
If there are issues within your life before you get on the treadmill of fame then sadly they will surface .
We are all flawed and vulnerable . We are here to evolve and we make choices based on our own perceptions and experiences.
We are all still learning.
So many well known people have testified to the struggle to stay grounded and in the real world. That fame doesn't fill any void . If anything it becomes more apparent and unless you deal with that first then you're hooked .
I don't need nor want that kind of life.
I'll remain humble and deal with the real world and harsh lessons but also the truth and all the natural pleasures .
😇😇😇
we lost so many legends in the 90s, river and michael hurt the most for me, still even today.
River Phoenix death was not a suicide.
Jeff Buckley as well
Selena quintanilla as well
I miss Michael Hutchence a lot ,His amazing voice and his persona being Inxs is just sad because his gone. No one can be like Michael Hutchence.
Oh... michael 😘😥
Breaks my heart to see Paula and Tiger Lily. Oh Michael, it would have worked out in the end.
So tragic that only two years later Tiger Lily would lose her mother too
21 years ago. i still miss him. so sad. :( the older i get the more i realize how young he was when he died. i did not know there was a tv broadcast.
I was there and it was held on the 27th of November - a day before my 20th birthday. I was a fan of INXS as teen and his funeral being on the last day of my teens didn't go unnoticed.
WATCHED THE SERVICE LIVE IN A HOTEL IN EDINBURGH. AFFECTED ME AS IT STILL AFFECTS ME TODAY. GOD BLESS X
I was 24 when Michael passed and am now 49, have been a fan since I was a young teen. I adored him and his music. One of his songs was my first love and my song and it was his music that got me through our breakup. I had such a crush on him. What a tremendous loss. Still haven't forgotten him all these years later... he really was something special.
This was sad. Had most of INXS music. Such a talented & gifted artist. Never to be forgotten :(
You can feel all the love and all the pain. So sad :(
Still have this on VHS myself. Thanks for uploading it, suprised no one else has before now.
Wow, they actually aired this... I don't remember this
That was very sad, but a beautiful memorial/funeral for his family and the world.
Michael lives on in all our hearts. Thank you for this video it is so touching. I love you Michael ❤️
Lovely comment Debra, "You're so beautiful" 💖💋
Beautiful service ..my dads birthday was November 22, 1944...he too took his life at 37...i am sorry for is all but glad for the music that lives on..peace to is all
How I. Cried the day you died
I am sorry. Keep on. Fight on.
I’m so sorry for your loss xx
I’m so sorry
I’m so sorry. I’m trying to figure out what to say at my Dads service in a few days.
Very touching, I was 16 when he left this world, I heard the news on the radio, even I remember I was walking down Stairs . I still seems unreal and still feel the same sadness, still makes tears run out my eyes . May You Michael Hutchence have the peace and love by Gods side . For the eternity.
How all these years runs fast. I remember the terrible news of his death. Thanks for posting. Rest in peace MH.
I remember the news clip. They showed some of his last video of "Elegantly Wasted" as they told of his death. I waited to watch it on vh1 probably the beginning of 98. You can see he was tired. The light, the energy that drove him was just gone even then. His eyes looked spacy and dead. Hard to describe.
This video is a treasure. I still miss you Michael! Gone but never forgotten! ❤️🌷 ( What a beautiful funeral)
Such a sincere genuine funeral indeed❤🙏
I truly know the pain of speaking at my big brother's service as Michael's siblings did. My brother's suicide is a battle I face daily..
Prayers and much compassion to for you. I simply cannot imagine what you are going through.
🙏💞
@@michellerjackson5776 Thank you ..
Bless your heart, my heart hurts for you. I am losing my brother right now to pancreatic cancer, it's hard to even type those words. He is my only sibling, my little brother and my first friend. I can barely get through this comment, and if I run across it again someday, it's going to shatter my heart all over again...but, I don't want you to feel alone. Keeping you in my heart and prayers.💝🙏
@@sweettina2 Uplifting you guys in my prayers...bless you.
So sad, he never realized how beautiful his spirit was .. Now God has him.
eyerishroses I thought suicides went to hell? I hope not though.
Even Geldof himself said he didn't believe it was suicide in an interview several years later after he had adopted his daughter Tiger Lilly. He was the one who told Michael he won't be seeing his own daughter over holiday in the last call Geldof made to him that upset him so much. That's where you wonder, after what happened to Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington who "died" the same way, was it really suicide?
@@gruppenfuhrer45
There's neither hell, nor God.
There, problem solved.
Ada Vanja if that’s what you believe.
I wish people could be more sensitive than to leave comments like these under a Video such as this - a Tribute to the life of a well loved , cherished and good human being. Do people have no shame...
A very sad situation! So Young, so famous , so talented, so gorgeous, so humble, a real great Singer! What an amazing voice!
I have never cried as much as when he passed away and even Princess Diana's death. I still cry when I hear the song "Never tear us apart" 😔 a amazing talent taken too soon. RIP Micheal.
💔💔💔💔💔💔
Michael Hutchence una leyenda viviente. Tus canciones viviran por los siglos de los siglos!
My favourite was ' mistify ' it's amazing how music can carry us through some of the most traumatic periods in life ....
Still (along with Freddie Mercury) the best front man ever! May they continue to both RIP! Michael is still very much loved and missed xoxo
I was lucky enough to see them live in concert and to meet most of the band except for Michael. They all took turns riding my scooter around the parking lot at the venue. That was fun. Such a great band. I still miss Michael to this day. I had such a crush on that man!
I walked up the garden path to marry my hubby to INXS ‘s Never Tear Us Apart! 💕❤️💕
🙏Best song
Cool 😎 very good choice
I grew up with you and your music. It was the soundtrack to my teenage years. Losing you was a tragedy for everyone that ever loved you. 25 years later I still listen to your music and watch your interviews and miss you dearly Michael. The world will never forget you ❤️
