This is quite possibly Michael's greatest vocal performance. Just gives me goosebumps. Elegantly Wasted is a brilliant album that doesn't get enough praise.

I could not agree more with your statement. If I could personally bring this album back for everyone to reevaluate and reappreciate, I would. I truly believe that he was tortured in his final years. And like many people who become suicidal, there is a bipolar effect. The side that wants to live, and the side that wants to die. Beside that wants to die wins the battle permanently sometimes. Rest his soul and I will always keep him alive in my heart, mind ,and soul.

"Right up until we walked on stage, Michael was in tears," Tim Farriss recalled years later. "Paula had just left the country quickly, something to do with custody of the children. "All of a sudden, it was showtime. Michael had to wipe his eyes and go out there and sing Searching. "It is one of the greatest performances we ever gave on television," he continued. "It was totally live, and Michael sang with such emotion: 'I am searching, I am not alone.' It's still too heavy for me to look at, even today."

This performance is a testament to the talent that was Michael Hutchence. A unique singer, he did more than simply sing a song - he felt the words and gave his all...and this performance at the '96 ARIAs will surely keep viewers transfixed by his spell for years to come. Love you & miss you, Hutch. Peace.

If he didn't meet or have a relationship with Paula Yates & falling into her traps with telling journalists where she was and whom she was seeing. Journalists - magazines had a field day with . Uk hated him with Princess Diana one week and then Michael H the other . Paula Yates loved to be married or in a relationship with a famous rock singer. She even wore her wedding dress that she dyed black on Michael hutchence funeral. Paulas husband Bob Geldof wasn't even filling up Cafe. Michael H hated the paparazzi. I guess it all went down hill when he had his accident in Denmark & blamed his girlfriend - Helena.? I read the book
