==Tributes and dedications== * In 1997, [[Duran Duran]] wrote the song "Michael You've Got a Lot to Answer For". The song appeared on their album ''[[Medazzaland]]''. Lead singer [[Simon Le Bon]] told [[Q magazine]] that the song, released shortly before Hutchence's death, was about "Michael being a naughty boy ... when he was living with Paula Yates. He did like his substances."<ref name="Duran">{{cite magazine |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/magazine-feature/8006584/inxs-michael-hutchence-songs-inspired-life-death |title=Six Songs Inspired by INXS Frontman Michael Hutchence's Life and Death |date=19 October 1997 |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |access-date=26 July 2019 |archive-date=26 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190726214409/https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/magazine-feature/8006584/inxs-michael-hutchence-songs-inspired-life-death |url-status=live }}</ref> * [[Nick Cave]] sang "[[Into My Arms]]" at Hutchence's funeral on 27 November 1997. The funeral was broadcast live on Australian TV. Out of respect, Cave requested the song not be televised.<ref name="BBCNov1997"/> * [[Terri Nunn]] of [[Berlin (band)|Berlin]] and [[Billy Corgan]] collaborated on "Sacred and Profane" for Berlin's 2000 album ''Live: Sacred & Profane''. Nunn said, "The song is about my first experience seeing [Hutchence] because that changed my life. He influenced me probably more than anyone else as a performer. I became 12 years old in five minutes wanting to have sex with him. That's all I wanted! Oh my God. Everybody did! You just wanted him. He was the epitome of [a] rock star."<ref name="OrrickGuzman">{{cite news |url=http://www.qvmagazine.com/qvArtist/berlin/index.html |title=Like Nunn Other ... |newspaper=qvMagazine: The Latino Men's Journal |publisher=QVmagazine.com |access-date=11 December 2010 |archive-date=15 July 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110715141045/http://www.qvmagazine.com/qvArtist/berlin/index.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Apicella">{{cite news|url=http://www.music-reviewer.com/Interviews/December-2002/Berlin-(Terri-Nunn)/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080224132642/http://www.music-reviewer.com/Interviews/December-2002/Berlin-%28Terri-Nunn%29/ |archive-date=24 February 2008 |title=Interviews β Terri Nunn (Berlin) |date=December 2002 |newspaper=Music Reviewer |publisher=Perihelion |last1=Apicella |first1=Vinnie |access-date=11 December 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref> * Bono, a close friend of Hutchence, wrote "[[Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of]]" on the 2000 U2 album ''[[All That You Can't Leave Behind]]''. The song is written in the form of an argument about suicide in which he tries to convince Hutchence of its foolishness. Bono characterised the song as a good old row between friends, adding that he felt guilty for never having had it with Hutchence in real life.<ref name="McMartin">{{cite news|url=http://www.monstersandcritics.com/music/news/article_1056777.php/Bono_feels_regret_over_death_of_Michael_Hutchence |title=Bono feels regret over death of Michael Hutchence |last1=McMartin |first1=Trent |newspaper=Music News |publisher=Monsters and Critics |date=23 October 2005 |access-date=9 December 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101105030256/http://www.monstersandcritics.com/music/news/article_1056777.php/Bono_feels_regret_over_death_of_Michael_Hutchence |archive-date=5 November 2010 }}</ref> In a 2005 interview, Bono regretted that he had not spent more time with Hutchence.
