Another album, another tour, another country to call home, and another beautiful woman. In some ways, the early ‘90s were business as usual for Michael Hutchence. However, his relationship with his bandmates in INXS was changing, the musical landscape was changing, and some other changes, none for the good, were right on the horizon.

With the gigantic success of “Kick”, Michael Hutchence had a chance to do a musical side project, he had the opportunity to star in movies, and he had more high-profile relationships with famous, beautiful women. He and INXS also had the unenviable task of trying to record a follow-up to that iconic album. Our social stuff: Patreon.com/rockandrollheaven Twitter: @rockandrolllt Instagram: Rockandro...

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.

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. Our social stuff: Patreon.com/rockandrollheav...
