INXS - Shine Like It Does: The Life of Michael Hutchence

by Toby Creswell

Ultra-shy INXS front man, Jim Morrison poser wannabe, chameleon, promiscuous sex god? Who was Michael Hutchence? Toby Creswell casts aside hype and stereotypes to get close to the real man, talking to others who knew him, and who loved and respected the sensitive person he was, as well as those who followed his growth as an artist. This is a warm, heartfelt biography, a tribute that helps us understand how an insecure vocalist from Sydney's suburbs grew into an accomplished lyricist, and ultimately, a despairing wanderer in search of a real home and family.
