Michael Hutchence (INXS): Last Interview on MTV (1997)

[@elevationstar2012]

Humble , natural , charismatic , empathetic , lovely , charming , gentleman, FUNNY !!!! : THE LAST ROCKSTAR

[@jo-annemuchan8348]

Michael Hutchence was a beautiful soul and a great songwriter. Probably the best frontman ever!

[@Sami-ArtAus]

Michael was such a trooper, he's had it, tired and sad, yet he still gave 100 percent, interviews, gigs, incredible final album. Very hard worker.

[@lenaaustin6692]

Mentally and physically exhausted. I absolutely can't this right now. It makes like the 1st I heard.

[@davidchandler55]

It's sad when Michael made comments about things he'd like to do in the future.(going to Cuba, touring on Latin America etc) It seems that he had lots of things to look forward to. The agony of being apart from his child proved to be too hard to overcome. RIP Michael

[@susancarter2365]

Being in a relationship with Paula Yates would send anyone over the edge.

[@laurahunt9513]

Submariners, military personnel are away from their kids for longer. There was so much more going on here

[@Janders85]

I don’t think that’s what sent him over the edge I think it was the nightmare Paula

[@twilit]

More like the agony and the ecstasy of autoerotic asphyxiation. His daughter had nothing to do with it.

[@chrisc1393]

@@twilit it wasn't that either. He had a TBI, hadn't slept in 36 hours, was on Prozac and Lithium, had done coke and was drinking. The TBI was much worse than anyone knew, probably even Michael. He was a very mentally ill man, who didn't have the capacity to use reason for simple thoughts anymore. It's well documented that he was a professional partier, and that was before the TBI. The only way Michael could've survived is if he had a constant companion to talk him down from thoughts gone awry and blown out of proportion. Michael would've never put up with someone being around him at all times, no matter how much he hated to be alone. He was doomed from that TBI. Period.

[@hutch1197]

He looked so healthy and handsome here, and appeared to be in a good space. Such a shame things went sour so quickly just months later.

[@gabyesencial8869]

@@gabygonzalez9693 woww, pobre Michael. Hay muchos casos así. En donde esa idea la tienen desde siempre dando vueltas. Por ejemplo, la hermana de la princesa de Holanda se suicidó en sus 30's. Y muchos años antes había hecho una tesis de grado sobre el suicidio.. Este hombre se lo percibía como que no sabía cómo manejar los momentos difíciles siendo muy sensible. Tal vez susceptible o hipersensible también.. La misma sensibilidas que aparecía en su arte . Si conoces la teoría de los mbti , Michael figura como isfp, el artista. El mismo tipo era Marilyn Monroe. Nobles, cariñosos o demostrativos pero con bastante sufrimiento sin saberlo gestionar bien.

[@c.alejo8846]

The interviewer’s native language is Spanish, so he was struggling a bit. He was quite articulate in Spanish . And I think he was star struck with Hutch. I remember when I saw this interview MTV latino. Now I realize how young the interviewer was (a kid, as you said) and Michael, who at the time seemed to me an older guy. But what a well mannered and nice person Hutch was. I remember at the time other stars were harsh or condescending with interviewers who weren’t native English speakers.

[@janebraun4482]

@@SM-cs4bn Yeah, you would think having a child out of a 'great love relationship' should have been the ultimate to be happy about all so contrary to taking one's life. It suggests he considered 'if' he and Paula did not work out, it was the same situation all over again. (BG not letting his kids move to Australia, then Paula doing the same about TL to Michael). No one has all the power, in between he of all people had plenty of people he knew to support him, he was not alone.

[@chrisc1393]

@@janebraun4482 I disagree. You can feel completely alone in a stadium full of ppl you don't know, as well as the ppl you do know. No one knew how much or how long Michael was struggling. It's the ppl who appear to be happy and stable that end their lives in an unfortunate split second decision. Only they know how much pain they were in. Michael was like most proud men. They have trouble asking for help, and didn't discuss "feelings". I just hope he found the ✌& ❤ he was Searching for.

I think he was manipulated very well and I think he had no clue he was getting manipulated, my reason is, the song lyrics found about hanging, I think were a plot by the manipulator as a plan for him to write how he feels but in lyrics for Michael to believe they were actually interested in his work, then I think they manipulated him into playing a game, which cost him his life, they leave or who ever leaves or the flip of the coin option he felt such rage and in that instant tried to see what hanging would be like and put the rope around his neck before taking some sleeping pills and what ever drugs were in his system and maybe waited to pass out. I dont know it's just my theories. Either way what a lovely, charming man, who had it all. Such a miss.
