Product Description

Product Description

This is the tragic true story of Michael Hutchence by the women who knew him best. Since the November day in 1997 when Michael's death in a Sydney hotel room became world-wide news, his mother and sister have read tales spun by journalists, lovers and business associates, people who only knew him for a fraction of his 37 years, if at all. These stories tell of the notorious highs and lows of Michael the superstar, and of the doting, but unconventional, father of Tiger Lily. This intimate biography aims to set the record straight, introducing the reader to Michael the talented child, the gifted teen, and the young adult, whose glamorous girlfriends - including Kylie Minogue, Helena Christensen and Paula Yates - confided in his mother and sister.

3.0 out of 5 stars The world of Michael in family view only, 10 Nov 2002
By dawn (Nr. kidderminster, worcs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I was looking forward to a general insight into Micheal life as a famous rock star who tradgically died at an early age. Most peole would agree that Michael loved Paula Yates and his daughter Tiger very much. However this book destroys this view. Infact his sister Tina did not have a good word to say about any of his girlfriends except of course when they happened to be friends of hers first. You have to stop many times and ask yourself if the book is about Michael's life or Tina's. I am afraid to say she is full of self pity and wants the world to feel sorry for her. She is full of self praise and continues to remind you that Michael loved her with continual quotes. She did not like Helena, Kylie or Paula infact anyone who was close to her brother. The best parts were from his Mother but I'm afraid she is understandably bitter. You live in hope that Paula Yates did not read it because it seemed a personal attack at times. Michael was extremely talented and I believe the book should have promoted this in his memory. The saving grace for the book is that it gives information of a web address set up by Michael's father. This is a gem for all Michael's fans. I am happy to add it includes both Paula and Tiger therefore showing that the family are not continuing this bitter attack on a woman who just happened to fall in love with their son.

3.0 out of 5 stars The story of Michael as told by mother & half sister, 22 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Just a Man: The Real Michael Hutchence (Hardcover)
The book begins with an account of 22nd November 1997, the sad and tragic day the world lost a bright and shining star. It goes on to describe Michael's background and childhood with some wonderful private photographs throughout.

There's a distinct change of direction a couple of chapters into the book, as it becomes an account filled with both authors opinions on almost everyone in Michael's life, none of whom are portrayed in a very positive light. The book is subtitled 'The Real Michael Hutchence' even though both women admit to not see very much of Michael during his 17 years with INXS, therefore I would question the validity of the claim.

In spite of all this there are reavealing, enjoyable chapters in this book about an ordinary man who lived an extraordinary life.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Real Michael Hutchence?, 1 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Just a Man: The Real Michael Hutchence (Hardcover)
Having read virtually all of the other biographies written about Michael Hutchence I was keen to add this to my collection. The book is an extremely personal and heartfelt collection of loving memories for a lost brother and son. His mother and sister have gone to great lengths to show an unseen caring and loving side to the personality of who was no doubt a very gifted and yet complicated man. The book is littered with photographs of his family and also his beautiful daughter Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily. It also sheds light on Michael's relationships with women, revealing his sisters frustration at Michaels 'emotional immaturity' as he leapt from one relationship to another.

However, I feel that it is almost immpossible for his family to give an accurate account of his life, when, by their own admission, they did not see him for up to ten months of each year for the last fifteen years of his life. The book also raises numerous questions about his estate, which I feel were not fully answered by the author. Despite this, I did enjoy the book and found it to throughly readable, and a must for any fan wanting to discover 'The Real Michael Hutchence'.
