INXS have paid tribute to Michael Hutchence on the tenth anniversary of his death.

Hutchence's former bandmates have left written tributes on the group's website remembering the singer.

Drummer John Farris says: "Michael will always be remembered as a young, vibrant, gifted and passionate person.

"Michael will live on through his brilliant melodies and lyrics. I feel proud that INXS can continue to play the music he helped create."

Bassist Garry Beers added: "I will always remember him as a great friend who always made an effort to help others."

Michael Hutchence died on November 22, 1997 from suffocation caused by hanging. He was aged 37.

INXS have continued to play together since his death, replacing Hutchence with JD Fortune, whom they discovered through a reality TV show in 2005.
