Michael Hutchence was a well known front man and ladies' man, and on this week’s episode of Rock and Roll Heaven, he starts to flourish in both respects. Some high-profile festivals and the fledgling MTV network helped INXS begin to rise on an international level. Once that started, a romance with one of America’s biggest stars followed.

Michael Hutchence was starting to love the life of a rock star, with wild parties and lots of women. But he was really still a struggling musician who stayed in hotels with boarded-up windows and had to hitchhike with “dodgy” mountain characters. But always along for the ride, either way, was a new soulmate who would be with him all the way to the end.

Michael Hutchence spent his lifetime moving. He went from city to city as a musician, but this week we look back at his return to Australia from Hong Kong asa teen and his 18-month stay in America. Soon enough, he was back home and was in a band (Doctor Dolphin) that became the Farris Brothers, which then became INXS…at which point he and his band mates started their long, slow move to the top of the music world.

That work?
