The death of Michael Hutchens has always saddened me. I remember reading a magazine article about INXS while on a plane to somewhere years ago, when they were in their prime. His bandmates described him as introverted and not wanting to be the front man, but they convinced him to. I think the fame was too much too fast for him.
