Michael Hutchence is the only solo album by Australian singer Michael Hutchence, known as the lead vocalist of INXS from 1977 until his death in 1997. The album was posthumously released on 14 December 1999, over two years after Hutchence's death.
Hutchence began work on what would become his posthumous solo album in 1995 with Tim Simenon. He then invited Andy Gill (of Gang of Four) to perform on and co-write the album. Gill joined Hutchence at his house and home studio in Roquefort-les-Pins and over a five-month period continued to write and record in France and London. They were fans of Black Grape and decided to enlist Black Grape producer Danny Saber as co-producer with Gill of the album. After Hutchence's death in 1997, Gill asked Bono, singer of U2 and Hutchence's friend, to record additional vocals which were added to the track "Slide Away".
This album was simply dedicated to "Tiger" in reference to Hutchence's daughter, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence. The last song that Hutchence worked on before his death was "Possibilities", which is track 2 on the album.
