Wow. I knew about the depression, but I had no idea about the punch and head injury that led to his issues. That explains a lot. It's a very sad story indeed.

Was a massive fan in the early 90's. Didn't know anything about the accident and brain damage until watching this. Wow. Cool guy. Great loss.

It's sad that one punch from an angry taxi driver changed everything for one man, his family and friends, his band, and his fans.

My first concert was INXS in 1988, that set the bar pretty high.

As an Aussie who's teenage years were in the 80's, the music of INXS was a real part of me growing up and it was a very sad day when Michael Hutchence died so tragically.

Paula Yates was toxic. She was the worst thing to happen to Michael. She hurt him in life and death; saying he died of auto-erotic asphyxiation added a sick, perverted twist to his death.If he had stayed with Helena and disclosed his injury, he would be alive today.😔

Funny thing that Shabooh Shoobah (1982/3) wasn't mentioned, as it was their breakout instead of "The Swing". "The One Thing" and "Don't Change" were pretty big in Oz, and did some good stuff on American college radio (The One Thing even made the top 40, and was a co-runner with Men At Work for Oz music).
