Yes

not the mom

Yes it's disgusting

They were quite rude.

Yes, Richard is so irritating.

The UK media wrapped cotton wool around geldolf he was n is their golden boy he can do NO wrong. Michael was persecuted in that country he should have stayed in Oz. What is bizzare was his geldolfs production " breakfast in bed" which was fronted by HIS WIFE, she took literally. They should've named it 'Breakfast in Bed with My Wife" A well-known fact she was literally in the sack with other men during their marriage, and he made it personal with only Michael. Geldolf n yates were sick little puppies n Hutchence got caught in the cross-fire.

Indeed!

​@@MRayannathats Britain for ya. Remember Bob was a "saint"..... 🙄🙄

@Louis Bates Yes, 100%

Exactly!

I agree. They are acting inappropriately. It must be very hard for them to speak of such personal things. Without the interviewers question examination. And no offence, but the two interviewers certainly had their own troubles that they may wish have not occurred.

Bananabender yes!!! They were really rude to them!

Very condescending toward Michael's mother.

Richard and Judy are such fucking vultures

Agree- they are aggressive and snarky

@@maryr130 Yes. Thats his mother for goodness sake

That’s right. I just said that but certain people disagree. They don’t understand narcissistic and Antisocial Personality Disorders and how abusive these people are.

Are you serious? They uk press infact all the press f**king hounded her and made her life hell,all because she was a strong woman / mother , Michael knew 100 what he was doing when he met Paula , it takes 2 to tango , he always struggled with mental health and you can’t put all the shit on one woman!!

TBI - Traumatic Brain Injury. He also had no absolute reason to cheat on his then gf Helena Christensen. PY was also bipolar. What spokesperson holds interview talk shows while lying in bed in front of national tv???

@@rayva1 because it made good tv 📺 it was that simple . For those who got it anyway .

Yeah there is drama when you have an ex and children are involved. Michael chose to be with Paula he obviously loved her to have a baby with her. The problem was Michael was on prescription drugs aswell as illegal drugs with a head injury. Which lead him to do stupid stuff. Paula was looking after her children like a good mother does.

@@rayva1that was simply the format of the TV program The Big Breakfast.

No class

Eu também! Ele tinha tanto para dar ao público ainda! Todo fim de ano fico nostálgica. Não julgo o que não sei, mas é óbvio que ele não era o mesmo ao lado de Paula.

Paula Yates was a brilliant TV personality a talented interviewer and writer. You could say he changed Paula because she was a happy working mother of three girls when she met him. She changed I think she loved him to the point she would do anything to make him happy including drugs. Why she didn’t give Bob Geldof custody of the three girls and take Tiger to live in Australia I don’t know. She could have come to arrangements to have the girls for holidays or come back here. I think there were a lot of factors why he did what he did Paula never believed it was suicide she thought it was a sex act gone wrong. Why else would he have been naked. He wouldn’t have wanted to be found like that naked. He wouldn’t have wanted his family to have to hear those details. If Paula became unstable it’s because she had developed an addiction not just the drugs but to Michael as well. She left her baby to be with him the baby they both loved and wanted. And say what you want about Bob Geldof there’s not many men would take another man’s child on and bring her up as his own. But he said he wanted to do the right thing and raise her with her sisters and he wanted to do it for Paula. Bob Geldof suffered the pain of losing his wife in a very public way. He kept a dignified silence . He even expressed his sadness and horror of what had befallen Michael and was beyond heartbroken when Paula passed but still he had compassion for their child. He brought her up out of the public eye made sure she had a good education was loved and protected. Doing this whist again suffering more tragedy losing his own daughter Peaches the mother of two small boys in very similar circumstances to Paula. RIP Michael Paula and Peaches may you all find peace.

​@@ellenlyons4090 Bob suffered the pain??? Bob Geldof moved his girlfriend Jeanne into their home not 7 months after Paula "broke his heart" and moved out. Later, ex-lovers of Paula would say they have an open relationship. Bob was just jealous and didn't want the open relationship situation to end. That said - for all Bob's bullying poor Paula and Michael, I do think he was the best person to raise Tiger Lily. Paula had been visiting Bob and the girls a lot and even staying overnight, in the years leading up to her death. So Tiger was already close to Bob and her sisters.

l don't think his drug use was a bad as some say. Friends noted he rarely did drugs after his head injury because he already had to take a lot of precription meds.

Paula wasn't unstable, her friends have all said the same thing she was teetotal and rarely drank alcohol and never touched drugs, in fact Robbie Williams said that Paula once told him only dickheads take cocaine. Paula got hooked on drugs either whilst she was with Michael or after he died. She was under constant siege from the media with lies being told about her, even on her flight to Australia when Michael died the journalists had booked seats on the flight and wouldn't leave Paula alone. Then when returned from Michael's funeral the media ambushed her and asked her if it was true that Hughie Green (who she hated) was her biological father. She denied it her own mother denied it and said it was lies, Paula found out when she got the DNA results in. That is enough to make anyone break down and hit rock bottom and instead of sympathy all she got was ridicule, hatred and humiliation.

@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 You're cherry picking. Robbie also said - in the same interview - but you know she was as secret squirrel and that although she said she said she was against cocaine she secretly did it. Also, Paula and Michael didn't do drugs - that was the nonsense that Bob and the press pushed and sadly stil try to.

Colin Diamond Ron Creevy

Ldydi5954 YES!!! EXACTLY!!! And how in the world did bob ever get away with TAKING Michael’s baby away from his family??? Truly truly disturbing!!!

His death was very strange, even more so when he knew that he was sure "not to end up being a star of 40 singing in small places to pay debts" that according to him had protected his properties and finances very well but today we know that all his assets happened to hands of your lawyer and offshore companies

@@benicio1967 Tiger Lily is the step sister of Bobs girls Paula is the mother of all. Bob had to look after his children because Paula was away most of the time with Michael. Its only natural that Tiger Lily will live with her sisters. He does bring Tiger Lily to Australia and gets along with Michaels parents.

This mother and sister would be my worst nightmare as the relatives of my partner.

@@laurahunt9513 Thats rigth. two possessive and jealous women

At the time of that interview only Helena knew about the head injury. Michael had made her swear she would never tell anyone. But in 2016 she decided to reveal the truth. I think it was a good move. He didn't commit suicide. The birth of his daughter, a home birth he participated in, changed everything for him, for the better.

And the drugs

@@grantkyle8823 of course he had done drugs, like most of them, you are not stating anything new, but you are missing the point, he was attacked and had a head injury and his depression and anxiety and coping skills got worse after that. His moods changed drastically after the attack.

Prozac was probably the cause...

@@jujuoliver6959 The PRESCRIBED drug. In other words, Prozac

What happened then?

@@posniknelb6114 Auto erotic affliction, Paula said. The contents of his room and state of the body, besides belt, were never mentioned.

He committed suicide. It's as simple as that. So many people do commit suicide and the only people who really understand why they do it, are the people who do it. It's such a strange thing to contemplate for a normal minded person to understand. Most serious head injuries cause severe depression. He had so much pressure in his mind at the time. Take Caroline Flack for example. People should stop giving credence to the auto errotic asphyxiation nonsense theory because it's disrespectful to the man's memory.

@@posniknelb6114 agree with you. Suicidal thoughts can come on strong and very quickly and as you said, only the people themselves know the reasons why. If he had trouble regulating his self, as reported, after the TBI, it’s very understandable that it’s the injury that led to his suicide. I agree the auto erotic asphyxiation theory seemed like a twist of truth Paula introduced because it was easier to take. If Hutchence was just moments before screaming on a phone with Geldof, I highly doubt that’s the time one is going to feel excited for some self pleasure, plus he had someone on their way to visit. I do find it really odd he was found naked- especially if it was a suicide. Why!? There is talk he was murdered. The fact he wanted to leave Paula, had just called for old girlfriend to meet up with him, and that Paula was the one who suggested his death was only a sexual game gone wrong, makes me suspicious of her. Especially if Hutchence mother said here of Yates is true- that Yates threatened to kill herself and their daughter. That’s 100% manipulation and threat to do bodily harm to innocent others. So, she’s capable of it- even if she hired a hit and made it look like a sex act gone wrong.

@@posniknelb6114 But it was the truth. He was obsessed with Paula and his baby girl and had no intention of leaving them, ever. Auto-erotic aphix is for many a cool rush, an orgasm with a capital O and I think MH wanted to clear his mind and get recharged, so to speak. Experts in the field of such practices said his death was unintentional, that he had the gear in hand to release himself from his belt when the mission was accomplished. Unfortunately, it didn't go as planned. It's a dangerous game.

She really does.

wow..spot on

It is unbelievable. Scary as well. I thought it was Nancy Reagan.

I quite like some things about Paula.. I was a bit young when they both died and didn’t take a lot of notice, at the time, but looking at it now I think Paula was a nice girl but extremely troubled. She brought pain to herself and others..just sad.

A loving close-knit family? His mother decided to leave his father, and told Michael to keep it secret for three months before they left. He was only 12 or 13 at the time - much too young to have to keep something like that from his father and brother who was also traumatised by it. His sister states in one film that Michael was left with a babysitter until she came home from school and took over. I’m afraid that Michael’s mother had an awful lot to answer for.

but not heroin

Paula started heroin at 12 yrs old. Michael never used that. He spoke against it.

@@maryr130 That was another lie from her. I don’t know what she snorted, but never ever heroin. 🤣

@@maryr130 Heroin? Who told you that? its bullshit!

(cough) Bob and the media he heavily influenced puppets more like it. Bob often bragged to Paula that he was above the law, while driving her and Michael to depression

I've been speculating for years what happened and the truth is you're absolutely right. He can't even rest almost 23 years later. Let it be ~Paul McCartney

The TBI had little to do with his suicide which was to do with the despair around the court cases Paula dragged him into or with the horrible press Bob was pushing against him. Look up "the police statement of Paula Yates" and all the articles where she originally said how depressed Michael was and that she blamed Bob. She later sold the EA story for money and because insurance doesn't pay out when its suicide, so she had to cast doubt.

@@lilifive6719 TBI's are a huge contributer to depression. Add that with anti depression meds mixed with drugs, alcohol & it's a disaster. Not saying the stress with Yates, courts, etc didn't contribute but saying a TBI had little to do with it is pretty naive.

TruthFan True

You obviously know nothing about Paula...she was far from a toxic person!!......she was very bright, witty and sweet, was a wonderful mother and she was successful in her own right.....tv presenter, author, .....I see it this way...Micheal did not want to live in England, he was vilified by the British press and he wanted desperately to live with Paula and his "family...The children) in Australia...because of Paulas custody issues with BG he knew this was not going to happen...he was also very afraid to lose Tiger, as Paula would never have been able to leave England because of her 3 children with BG.....I believe he saw no way out of the situation and felt trapped and hopeless......this is why he did what he did on the spur of the moment and in a very emotional and depressed state!,....it was not Paula who caused this but the both of them by the. Very nature of their circumstances.

British reporters will always back Paula. She was golden in the media for years. I think they treated his sister and mom very badly. Shame on them.

Paula was a beautiful, exciting and intelligent woman, and they fell in love with each other. Paula had a crush on Michael since young, and was as much his fault to encourage a married woman.

Paula was an attention seeker and manipulater. He had a lot going on, and she didn't help the situation. INXS had just bought out a New Album called " Elegantly Wasted " so I don't think his career was indecline. He was excited about the up coming tour according to his father. Something pushed him over the edge after he spoke to Paula from his hotel room that fateful day. He apparently spoke to his then manager and said " I don't give a fuck any more " I think Paula messed with his head.

@@jaynekittycat9252 Paula was gorgeous, intelligent and interesting. Michael spoke to Bob on the phone that night. It wasn't her fault her ex husband purposely made things difficult with her other children, which affected when and how her and Michael could be together.

@@SuzLa1 True. She was a good person but also very manipulating and a known liar. In Terry Agar's book, Bob told her he had stopped talking to his sister for years because he believed one of Paula's lies. However, no one is perfect and she had a horrible childhood and rumored bi-polar problem. Its sad that people only remember for the end of her life and faults and not for her her funny wit and amazing books.

@@dhill1113 The child Bob brought up and tried to push into the celeb industry, died of a heroin overdose in house with very young children.

I still believe if he had never met Paula, and got off of the prozac, he would be with us today.

I think with that type of brain injury it do's get worse as time go's on. I read somewhere that when ever Michael was interviewed, at least one band member had to be with him, in case he slipped up with a story.

@@jacksonzahaczewsky7302 if he had treatment when he was hit and fractured and his skull he may have recovered and been ok but apparently when he came round he flipped out, pulled the tubes out and left. Personally I think the medical staff are partly responsible why did they let him leave with an injury like that and he must've have been in a state surely they could have sedated him? Apparently he did go see a doctor some time after but the damage was done and this happened about 2 years before he got with Paula he was with Helena Christensen when it happened she was there and he swore her to secrecy she only revealed it about 20 years after he died. Even his autopsy stated he had brain damage throw drink and drugs into the mix and thats not a good combination. That injury caused his death not Paula

TBI may have impacted his decision making and getting involved with borderline personality Paula, but ULITIMATELY it was the press and court case from Bob. Read "the police statement of Paula Yates and Belinda Brewin". Paula originally blamed depression for his death saying that he snapped.

​@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 It was stress and depression mainly. TBI may have lead to poor decision making & an inability to navigate bad situations but according to many he was ready snap and spinning on a prozac high. Many friends reported he was on the brink. An interview in the UK observer (2017) called “ln the eye of the storm”, friend Catherine Mayer, said ” Michael had called just a few days before he died, crying so hard I couldn't make out every word, talking of legal battles & the endless, relentless press attention”. So sad.

Sue P ......thanks for the link, insightful reading.

Absolutely! They seem very eager to blame Paula for his demise but they don't seem to have known him as well as they think and some of their comments are just not right...4 days before he died he said in an interview that he did want to marry Paula, he gave another interview when Tiger was about 9 months old where he said ( and I listened to the interview) that he loved Paula and he sounded very happy......I think what changed Micheal was his injury and he couldn't cope with the fight going on with Bob Geldof....I feel his mother and sister were very biased and unfair towards Paula...and stating Michelle was the only girl he said he'd ever marry...what a mean thing to suggest and bring up on tv......and it was years before his relationship with Paula!!,w

+Pussycatfeathers You're saying what I though. He changed, they say. Because of the drugs, with Paula. He didn't begin with drugs when he met her, did he?? He did drugs for his whole career as far as I'm aware of. They're also making a point out of him seeing a therapist. Like that was something bad! What about him seeing the therapist to late? Maybe he didn't seek treatment because you two were judgemental? If he'd seen someone earlier, maybe he'd got more help. To me Michael seemed like he was head over heals in love with Paula. Just like she adored him! She couldn't live without him. The whole thing is just so sad. If it was just the two of them, I'd understand why they did what they did. But that little girl! How could they leave her?

Agree. Tina Hutchence's two books really detail the struggles with mental illness and lying that Paula had. Oddly, today in a more accepting society of mental illness, Paula may have had better help and understanding.

Since you personally knew Michael in Perth years ago, what is your opinion about how he died? Do you believe it was suicide, or an accident? I have wondered for years about it.

Can you give us more info about Michelle?

Antes de Michelle salió con Ananda Braxton Smith.

How many times once you met them

sometimes one's decisions can be deluded, you may know that

La1

No. Read the book - Michael my brother lost boy of inxs - For a start Michael did not live in Australia - his residence was in France. Paula chased him for almost ten years - she admitted that. She left Bob and set up house and suggested a nice little weekend in the country - she made all the arrangements. Read Gerri Agars' book.

SusieLa1 he looked too stressed towards the end of his life.

Obviously you've never dealt with a sociopath before.

Paula didn't have bipolar disorder in fact she never had drink or drug problems before she met Michael. She started on them after he died because she was so heartbroken. Paula isn't to blame for his suicide either, Michael suffered a traumatic brain injury about 2 years before he got involved with her, he had brain damage and due to his injury he lost his sense of smell and taste as well, then throw drink and drugs into the mix it probably made things worse. He never had proper treatment for it either when he came round in hospital he apparently flipped out, pulled the tubes out and left. This happened when he was with Helena Christensen and he swore her to secrecy she kept that and only revealed it about 20 years after he died when the documentary Mystify was being made. I doubt even Paula knew about it. That type of injury is probably what led to his suicide his autopsy confirmed the brain damage

​@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 A therapist who treated Paula said she was bi-polar. Search around for articles bout her. As for drugs - read Paula's autobiography. Paula HERSELF said she STARTED DOING DRUGS AT AGE 12 with her first boyfriend Eric. According to Robbie Williams, she secretly did cocaine while saying she was against it. (look up his interview about her) As for Michael and drugs, in Lovegroves book written in 1999 and interviewed several of Micheal's friends, they said one of the silver linings of his TBI is that he could rarely do drugs due to his brain injury.

@@dhill1113 Not bi-polar.. She had Borderline Personality. At least that what I found from interviews with therapists online. But yeah - she was the druggy of the 2 of them.

Paula was hooked on drugs many years before Michael came along ..it escalated when she found a drugfreind

@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 Paula was into drugs long before Michael and according to ex-lovers often did drugs with them.

Exatamente. Estava nas fotos.

Verdade! É nítido que ele estava infeliz e dia antes dele morrer, que teve um ensaio, da p perceber que ele está até abatido e c olheiras! Lamentável, é de 💔.

Inacreditável realmente 😢

Sloan has done a video channeling him.

Damn tacky relatives. After he died, they all fought over his estate.....that tells you a lot.

Bob, the press and Paula were the biggest problem. He was severelly depressed and was determined to not return to England. Friend Catherine Meyer said he called her a few days before he passed "crying so hard I could barely make out what he was saying. Going on about relentless press and legal problems" He was back in therapy on Dec 17th, 3 days after Duran2 made that horrible song "Michael you have a lot to answer for". Last year they said it was about drugs, but that's a lie. Its talks nothing of drugs but has lyrics saying Michael should "stop wanting to be" !!! (kid you not) and that he shouldn't want to be involved in someone else's war. Interviews at the time it was released, they said it was because they supported Geldof and thought Michael shouldn't be helping Paula. After they were criticized for driving Michael into a deeper depression after he took his life, they tried to say it was a fan song! Paula complained that Bob was trying to make her poor and Bob was furious that, by way of his real estate, Michael was insuring Paula had a roof over her head. When he died, she was staying at his Smith Street home and Michael had GIVEN Bob his Cheyne street apartment so he'd let Paula have back her 18 Reburn home so she could sell it to settle her debts. Bob recall, had her fired.

Agree 100% She was toxic and obsessive. So sorry they crossed paths and she pulled him into her life.

I thought the mum was respectful in her description of paula. The mums word choice "fertile mind" shows her to be a classy lady.

She certainly was a narcissist. She had a chequered upbringing which I think made her frantic to control her relationships and to always be the centre of attention. He had his own reputation of manipulating women so I not sure he was that vulnerable to be honest . Artistic people seem far more fragile and prone to suicide. How can this woman categorically say what her complicated son planned todo? I notice they managed to keep all the money away from his child. She received virtually nothing, just a few items not money.

@@Truth1561 Tiger prob got lots through Bob. After poor Peaches passed, it was revealed she had a multimillion dollar mansion and an allowance that was all from Bob. So l'm sure that given he's worth over 100 mil, he'd take care of Tiger as well.

@@ClaraJones-wq8du Or from Paula's estate. Paula made Colin Diamon (MIchael's financial advisor) Tiger's Godfather and she was clearly set for life afterwards. It was only Hutch's mom and sister who contested how the money was given out. Look up Tiger Lily's album. She thanks one of Diamonds; sons on it. She stayed close to them and probably got her inheritance but doesn't want people to know - understandably.

Maybe Bob dictated her narrative. At first she stated it's Bob's fault.

Yah

They were Paula fans clearly.

@@jaydenp4975 Most of the media are also Bob's puppets. He has a large PR team

Thank you!!!

Yes thank you.

Agree. She was obsessively in love with him and even more desperate to marry. She threatened more than once to kill herself and 'take Tiger with her' if he did not marry her. Now, that is dreadful. He may have believed that she really would. He got entangled with an unstable woman who had cast aside her very loving husband and wanted that husband to let her take his three daughters to Australia! NO WAY. She was unhinged by this all-consuming love and had burned her boats, so to speak, and she planned to be with Michael 'forever'. He surely felt trapped, not least because of baby Tiger, and feared he couldn't escape. He did not want to marry Paula and would have left her. He was also deeply depressed since his brain injury and out of his head on drugs and booze. What a sad, heartbreaking mess.

AND the SEVERE brain injury he had.

@@i_love_rescue_animals Yeah well...prior to that a bomb was sent to him. Google that. I dont believe an anonymous, random taxi cab driver jumped out and assaulted him for the reasons given. The whole thing stinks. Paula was a sociopath. Criminally nuts.

Pauline Gallagher You know, that kind of brain injury can cause ASPD, and really severely affect impulse control. If you don’t believe me, look it up. However, I do not believe he totally meant to kill himself. I think he might’ve been indifferent to it. Doing autoerotic asphyxiation and thinking “hey if I die, I die”. There’s lack of impulse control, again.

Who can be sure???

Very true Christar. I think Paula made him depressed. She was an attention seeker and manipulater. If you look at photos of the two of them together, there were no smiles from Michael. I read he wanted out of the relationship as he was sick of all her lies and deceit. He was seeing someone from America called Erin.

@@jaynekittycat9252 Yep, but was he totally innocent, um i'm unsure ! Narcs attract empaths then sometimes they can attract fellow narcs.

Michael's sister, Tina, has spent many years blaming Paula and even after it was revealed he had suffered a bad TBI in 1992, she still wants to blame Paula. Only recently she has admitted that the TBI was what caused his 'suicide'...and not Paula. Paula never did anything to hurt Michael. Nothing. And he fell in love with her and wanted the two of them to marry, because they were so happy together. When Michael initially left Australia he wanted to see and experience everything, and that included dangerous drugs, dangerous sex, having money to buy cars, art, clothes. One of his best friends said that Michael was addicted to drugs and casual sex. Paula, pre Michael, did not drink, smoke or do drugs and I dont think she got caught up in all of that. When she lost Michael she went off a cliff. Michael was the best frontman in rock 'n roll history and I loved his voice, his sweet nature, his poetry. But the erotic sex thing was something he lost control of. He didn't commit suicide.

@@Boris82much Nope - Tina never changed her story. TBi may have made the situation worse & impacted his ability to see through bi-polar Paula's manipulations, but his on friends & sister always blamed Paula for being the catalyst - that NEVER changed. As for never hurt Michael!? - Paula tore Michael apart in the press after his death for money. She original told the press & in the "police statement of Paula yates and Belinda" (easly found online) that she thought Michael took his life from all the stress. She even screamed at Q mag that he was never into S-M or tying her up. Only later she sold prvrted stories. 2ND Paula frequently threatened to kill herself and the baby if he didn't marry her . Michael's mother once recorded this and the police had to do I check to make sure the baby was OK. thankfully her friend Belinda was there help.

​@@Boris82much Do you know how dangerous it is to call a delberate act of suicide a possible game from which you may or may not die!!! Erotic asphyxiation (EF) involves rendering oneself unconscious in such a way that they expect it to come undone while they are unconscious. (I won't tell you the ways here). Michael Hutchence clearly did not expect to regain consciousness as the coroner ruled! He hung himself from a door hinge above the door - not the door knob. After he died the belt broke & he fell to the kneeling position facing the door. It was suicide. Although Yates changed her story from depression to EF & said she was challenging the corners report, she never did challenge it. Many teens are dying from hanging that they wrongly believe may give them some sort of thrill because of this misinformation your saying!

TBI contributiong factor but not the reason. He was severaly depressed because of Paula nd the press and Bob. Duran Duran wrote this horrible song in Oct 14, '97, telling Michael to "stop trying to be" and - while later they tried to say it was about drugs - originally they said in interviews that it was regarding his involvement in the custody case. Odd, since the press knew Paula dragged M into it & was getting him to pay her legal bills. The song was released on Oct 14 AND 3 days later poor Michael was seeing another therapist - Dr. Mark Collins. See "Michael Hutchence death explained: the Coroner's account in his own words" Herald Sun. Shortly thereafter, he and Paula decided to try Australia. Conveniently, Duran Duran were awarded the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame after changing the story behind that cruel song to being about drugs - no doubt at Bob's request!!

madelena1234 on the other hand people do in fact get involved in relationships and can become deeply involved before they or their families are able to recognize they’ve allowed a very manipulative divisive unstable person into their lives. Once tiger lily was born Michael was in a very precarious and serious situation and he had no way to resolve it, especially with Paula being her mother. My brother has fallen into a situation much like Michael’s. It does happen. Our family is living it. My brother is a totally different person and we haven’t seen him now in over two and a half years. We used to talk with him on the phone all the time and now even phone calls have virtually stopped. It’s a nightmare watching very unhealthy imbalanced people web their way into a family member’s life and there’s nothing you can do to rescue your relative. Mental and psychological control happen very slowly over time as partners learn how to persuade their prey into believing whatever narrative they choose to plant when the intention is to isolate them from others who love them. I believe Tina and Michael’s mom that Paula was toxic and they saw him rapidly decline and isolate more once she entered the picture and had tiger lily. Then she was able to use the child as leverage to easily control him.

Paula was the classic sociopath. Alienating Michael from the family was classic sign #1.

was he masturbating with that belt around his neck ? the police did not comment but would have covered it up , preferring to call it suicide ! damn fools ! less paper work for them. The family suffers for ever. Paula knew he did not kill himself. His family was ambiguous and turned out to be very opportunistic people, fighting over his money, after he died. Sickening. Glad Geldhof raised Tiger Lilly. Why could he not taste or smell ? did he have a brain tumor ?

t k I think he hurt his brain in a fall. After the fall he was a damaged man e.g. no smell, or taste suggesting this part of his brain was severely damaged. The alcohol and drugs may have contributed to his fall.

Skygazer ok Doesn’t really matter to me. Drugs kill anyone.

Paula was a very manipulative woman ...she said to the INXS manager in 1985 "I'm going to get that boy" to which the manager replied....leave him alone! Then in 1986 she married Bob Geldof. She knew that to manipulate and control Micheal she needed to have a baby with him. Micheal felt very trapped, she threatened all sorts of things, why would he marry a woman like that? Baby or no baby! She was even jealous of his family, Paula was a narcissist, all the evidence is there. She was an intelligent woman and had a plan from 1985....she was obsessed and the boyfriend she had after micheal in 1998 looked just like him, which i found weird!! If she loved him...she wouldn't of got a boyfriend as quick as she did, it was an obsession, she had a very addictive nature and Micheal was another drug she couldn't do without...obsessions are dangerous and eat at people's minds, she was no different, I'm sorry to say. I watched the interview she agreed to do after Micheal died, she was keeping the truth back about that last phone call, i could see straight through her. Nothing will bring Micheal back but I do feel this is one of the saddest ends to a super talented legends life. 💙

Mandy Marshall I have to agree with you completely.

@@kittycat6195thank you.

Why becuz he didnt look 20 .....he was. Older. and obv using .. He had a brain injury ...as well .

@@Angel-cd5qq Why are you replying to a 5 year old comment? Lol. And nobody even mentioned his age so not sure why you brought it up. The original commenter simply stated that the last footage of him showed Michael appearing stressed which would make sense considering all that was going on at the time. But since you brought up his age one thing I have noticed is seeing some footage from the mid 90s up until his death he did seem to suddenly age and look like a shell of his former self seemingly overnight. Footage from 94-95 he still looked like the same Michael (albeit slightly more mature)even his eyes looked brighter and happy. Then around 96/97 he changed. He seemed to have aged 5 years in just under 2 years and even just from watching interviews he seemed different. The dyed black hair didn't help either. His own friends and colleagues noticed the same thing as they mentioned it in the documentary on Michael called "The last rockstar " I don't think his relationship with Paula was good for him whatsoever. He may have adored her but all the bs that went on certainly didn't help and ultimately helped lead to his death

Winter Harris Why are you replying to a comment from a reply to a 5 year old comment that I am now replying to your reply to a 5 year old comment? Lol...

@@winterlynn9012 Do you mean his relationship with big bread face Kristensen when he was injured in Copenhagen was better? It's strange nobody talks about that happening. He was with her when he suffered, was beaten to a brain damage. He didn't remember what happened there, and she forgot everything, of course. The supper model with a face like a homemade bread😂Shame to all who are talking shit about Tiger Lily's mother!!

@@cristinadanielamoen6099 Actually a lot of people talk about that incident and how it affected Michael. I'm referring to his final year where he really looked and seemed different than his previous self. Did I say anywhere that the incident in Copenhagen was better? Nope. And just because Paula is dead does not make her above criticism. I don't think that was the healthiest relationship and there is nothing wrong with pointing that out. Look at all the drama and gossip Michael an Paula endured during their relationship. That cant be healthy for any relationship. Its obvious that all that negative attention from the media was getting frustrating to Michael and certainly did not help matters. Of course his brain injury a few years prior did nothing to help and probably aggravated the situation but I think had all the negative press and bullshit with Paula and her ex had not happened then its possible he'd still be here today. Its not entirely Paula's fault as I believe she truly loved Michael however that relationship came with a slew of negative repercussions and I'm not going to sugarcoat my opinion on Paula just because she's Tiger Lily's mom. I'm not solely blaming her for Michael's death but I believe the stress of that relationship helped contribute to his downfall and inevitably it led to her death too. Tragic situation no matter which way you look at it.

@anarcho vegan- everyone has issues in families

Such a good answer!!

Such a good answer!!Such a good answer!!

I actually see no real pain in these two. The bandmates even cried when they talked about him!!! They loved him.

Paula was a shit.

my words exactly and how I feel about Paula. She should have gone to be with Micheal that was his child...but did not want too. But could go with Tiger Lily for Michael's funeral. I don't want to sound nasty but ...it is what it is... if Paula would have gone to Australia...I strongly feel that Micheal would be alive... However, i just wished that he received medical assistance when he hit his head...things might have been different as well...we will never know and lately the life and death of Micheal Hutchence has literally consumed me... My passion for Micheal is ...I really cant explain it... maybe because he WAS a sweet soul that many people needed in their lives...truly miss you tour sweet smile, voice and most importantly just you, yourself. RIP...Michael Hutchence...

@@colleenkinley2008 As far as I know Michael didn't want any medical assistance. He left the hospital as soon as he could. Wondered what would have happened if he had received proper care.

Really? Well it didn't help that bob was being unreasonable and fought with Micheal not caring about tiger and her rights to see her dad.

@@kathleendobens6648 When exactly did Bob EVER fight with Michael regarding Tiger?

He lost his sense of taste and smell because of the blow to the back of the head, but it was not gradual.

@@applejellypucci Also, it worsened matters that he put off seeking medical help for a few weeks. If he, Helena, or his family had gotten him to hospital and neurologist right away, maybe his loss of sense and smell might not have been as drastic and severe. Head injuries that severe require immediate medical attention.

@@JKillackey62183 Right, and people praise Helena, who was the only one around him at and after the accident. I could not have sat by like she did, while he avoided medical attention, this was not wise. Helena was a very young woman without experience other than the world of modeling, full of pretentious shallow people. We know they waited a month to see a French neurologist, then no regular medical follow up. 93 and 94 MH seemed pretty 'well'. or one could say the 'injury was gradually catching up to him. They say we have to take care of ourselves first, then others, If MH was so miserable in London, perhaps he just needed to leave Dodge, despite Paula and their baby. If he took a drastic action in the name of his health, no one, not even Paula, could fault him. Send her a check for baby expenses. He needed some good ''advice' as much if not more than an anti-depressant, not taking these actions was an accident waiting to happen. BTW, Paula needed a shrink as she also was likely depressed too.

TBI contributiong factor but not the reason. He was severaly depressed because of Paula, the press & Bob. Duran Duran wrote this horrible song in Oct 14, '97, telling Michael to "stop trying to be" and - while later they tried to say it was about drugs - originally they said in interviews that it was regarding his involvement in the custody case. Odd, since the press knew Paula dragged Michael into it & was getting him to pay her legal bills. The song was released on Oct 14 AND 3 days later poor Michael was seeing another therapist and renewing his prozac. See "Michael Hutchence death explained: the Coroner's account in his own words" Herald Sun. Shortly thereafter, he and Paula decided to try Australia. Conveniently, Duran Duran were awarded the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame after changing the story behind that cruel song to being about drugs - no doubt at Bob's request!!

MH parents are now both deceased.

Is a Pommie an Australian? I’m American.

@@christar9527 Pommie is Australian slang for the English, the way Americans call the English limeys.

Eu tambem amo muito ele e sei que esta brilhando em outro plano ,por isso nunca o esquecerei!
