DESCRIPTION:
(Richard Simpkin). This is a celebration of the extraordinary life and journey of Michael Hutchence (1960–1997).Embodied in this illustrious presentation are many never-before-seen photographs featuring Michael throughout his early life, his rise to fame as lead singer of the internationally acclaimed band INXS, and hundreds of private and candid behind-the-scene memories snapped by author and photographer, Richard Simpkin.Richard developed a close bond and friendship with Michael and his family. As a budding photographer, he captured 100s of images of Michael over many years and was encouraged by Michael to turn this hobby into a full-time profession.Interestingly, the final photograph capturing Michael was taken with Richard – snapped by Michael’s father, Kell Hutchence, just two days prior to his untimely death.Richard’s collection of memorabilia featuring Michael and INXS, is considered second to none – derived from his years spent at recording studios, rehearsals, concerts, backstage and private band parties with Michael and the band.Enthusiasts will admire this most powerful and personal presentation of Michael, a superstar who made it to the top in the music world
"Rock Star Unveiled" according to Kate Campbell. This is such a touching intimate portrayal of a sensitive, kind man. Michael was an ultimate Rock Star. It's easy to forget how difficult that can be, in real life. My heart will always go out to Michael. Richard did a beautiful job putting this Celebration together.. "Five Stars" according to Alicia Berens. Richard has crafted a beautiful book with touching memories & stories of his friend. A must did an INXS fan!. "Beautifully Designed Book!!" according to Danielle. I would consider this a "coffee table book" but this will never see my coffee table! Straight to my bedside table with my Frida Khalo art books. There is nothing else like this bookthere's biographiestell-all, etc. This is a gorgeous work of art!! Thank you to the sellers, author & anyone who was involved
