Michael

My Brother, Lost Boy of INXS

By: Jen Jewel Brown, Tina Hutchence

Narrated by: Tina Hutchence

The life and death of the legendary lead singer of INXS, as remembered by his sister Tina.

He died at only 37, but his fans are legion. INXS singer/songwriter Michael Hutchence was the celebrated front man of a band that was the biggest in the world.

Michael's big sister, Tina, adored him from the start. From a 12-year-old holding him in her arms as a newborn, to being his teenage nanny, Tina remained Michael's trusted confidante until his sudden death.

Tina's intimate and detailed telling of her brother's story - from faltering teenager with a lisp to raging rock star - blazes with love and adventure and includes the acquired brain injury that changed everything for Michael; the risky schemes that saw him named in the Paradise Papers expose of 2017; his secret philanthropy in support of East Timor; and his bliss at the birth of his only child, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily.

'My brother roamed the world with a book in his hand and one in his suitcase,' Tina writes, and throughout Michael a paper trail of the literature he loved gives clues to the man many see as an enigma.

A cry from the heart celebrating the 'lost boy of INXS', Michael Hutchence, this personal and heartfelt biography reveals the incredible roller-coaster life of Australia's most enduring superstar and shares the private moments of an adored brother, son and father.

Heart filled

Michael was an enigmatic multi faceted and talented man. His unique and powerful voice still holds strong today. Tina did a wonderful job honoring her beloved brother giving us a deeper insight into this charismatic and complex man. We will miss him always but are grateful to have his body of work with us forever!

Love this book Tina… Filled in missing pieces of Michael’s life!

Great book and audiobook. So satisfying!!! It’s goes well with having watched, “Mystified”… - Thanks Tina!

Hi Tina

I really enjoyed the audio book, I did not know about the skull fracture, I jumped where I was sitting when that part came up. From skull fracture to death, short 5 years. I’m in the medical field. I understand personality change occurs as a major side effect. Anyway, thank you for sharing your views of your brothers life with the world.

how he was misunderstood

I didn't like how the band treated him
Chris Murphy wasn't any better Colin diamond should have went to prison for life
