Michael Hutchence is one of the greatest singers and performers in Australia's history, with a career that spanned 20 years. Born to Kelland Hutchence and 'Patricia Hutchence' . Hutchence wanted to know from Douglas what steps he should take to further advance himself in the film industry. Douglas advised him, but Michael could not handle the pressure of being a fading rock star, and when his latest album 'Elegantly Wasted' was a flop, Michael took the steps that ended his career. Michael once said that he was "just a man" -- and that is all he ever was.

When he presented Oasis with a "Best Video" award at the 1996 BRIT Awards, Noel Gallagher pointed at him onstage and declared "Has-beens shouldnt be presenting awards to Gonna-bes".

There is an integrity to INXS, in the music, that makes it worthwhile.
We always thought it strange that nobody was up on that stage playing,soul stuff. Maybe people were playing it in their garages, like us, but,they always reverted to pure rock when they got on stage.
