1
00:00:47,217 --> 00:00:49,299
Woman: Double-eight, 6-9-5-4.

2
00:00:50,092 --> 00:00:51,207
Man: Nice.

3
00:00:58,717 --> 00:01:00,548
Woman: Sydney, Australia calling.

4
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,085
Parlez-vous anglais?

5
00:01:02,217 --> 00:01:06,506
Man: Oui.
Woman: H, Harry. U, uncle. T, Tommy.

6
00:01:06,925 --> 00:01:08,040
C, Charlie.

7
00:01:08,050 --> 00:01:10,632
Man: Slowly, please.
After c, Charlie?

8
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,290
Woman: H, Harry.

9
00:01:12,550 --> 00:01:13,790
E, Edward.

10
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:15,665
N, Nelly.

11
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:16,915
C, Charlie.

12
00:01:17,050 --> 00:01:18,165
E, Edward.

13
00:01:18,508 --> 00:01:19,543
Hutchence.

14
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,749
Man: Hutchence?
Woman: Yes. Michael hutchence.

15
00:01:25,175 --> 00:01:27,632
Michael hutchence.

16
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:29,506
Man: Hold the line, please.

17
00:01:31,383 --> 00:01:32,623
Woman: Go ahead.

18
00:01:33,175 --> 00:01:34,790
Michael: Hello.
Donald: Hello, Michael?

19
00:01:35,675 --> 00:01:37,882
Michael: Donald! Good morning!

20
00:01:37,925 --> 00:01:39,165
Donald: Good morning.

21
00:01:47,175 --> 00:01:49,006
Clear the hallway please...

22
00:01:49,675 --> 00:01:51,666
Clear the hallway please...!

23
00:02:07,425 --> 00:02:13,341
INXS: Never tear us apart

24
00:02:22,050 --> 00:02:23,961
don't ask me

25
00:02:25,592 --> 00:02:27,833
what you know is true

26
00:02:28,842 --> 00:02:31,083
don't have to tell you

27
00:02:33,092 --> 00:02:36,664
I love ya precious heart

28
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:38,836
I

29
00:02:40,425 --> 00:02:42,416
I was standing

30
00:02:44,342 --> 00:02:46,173
you were there

31
00:02:47,175 --> 00:02:50,042
two worlds collided

32
00:02:50,967 --> 00:02:55,791
and they could never
tear us apart 

33
00:03:23,217 --> 00:03:25,708
The amount of experience
that you go through

34
00:03:25,842 --> 00:03:28,914
in doing what we do
is many lifetimes.

35
00:03:30,467 --> 00:03:32,674
The problem is holding on
to a fixed point

36
00:03:32,717 --> 00:03:35,049
for long enough
to understand it.

37
00:03:35,175 --> 00:03:36,665
That's the difficult part.

38
00:03:40,842 --> 00:03:43,709
exorcise the devils
in my mind

39
00:03:53,217 --> 00:03:56,914
Michael: I think to be without
at least one love in your life,

40
00:03:57,050 --> 00:03:58,586
someone to love you.

41
00:03:58,717 --> 00:04:00,548
To be lonely, I think,
must be terrible.

42
00:04:09,425 --> 00:04:10,915
I always remember him

43
00:04:10,925 --> 00:04:14,167
sitting on the floor
in Andrew's bedroom,

44
00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:17,667
saying, "mr farriss, I'm
determined to play something."

45
00:04:17,675 --> 00:04:19,256
Which brought roars of laughter,

46
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:21,040
because it was apparent

47
00:04:21,175 --> 00:04:24,667
he couldn't and shouldn't
bother with an instrument.

48
00:04:29,675 --> 00:04:31,631
Michael: Got into a fight
at school.

49
00:04:31,758 --> 00:04:33,999
Walking around like an
english prat from Hong Kong,

50
00:04:34,133 --> 00:04:37,421
going, "where's my class?
What's going on here?"

51
00:04:37,508 --> 00:04:38,668
Got picked on in a fight

52
00:04:38,675 --> 00:04:40,540
and Andrew came over
and pulled me out.

53
00:04:41,883 --> 00:04:43,999
Andrew sucked me into
playing music.

54
00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:45,300
Yeah.

55
00:04:45,383 --> 00:04:46,793
I'm sorry, you just have to give

56
00:04:46,925 --> 00:04:49,045
all these buckets of charisma
out to people, y'know...

57
00:04:50,425 --> 00:04:51,790
And that, of course,

58
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,166
was the beginning
of the famous six.

59
00:04:55,133 --> 00:04:57,169
Timothy, Andrew,

60
00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:01,248
Jonathan, kirk pengilly,
garry beers.

61
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,290
And I'm Michael.

62
00:05:04,050 --> 00:05:06,291
Dennis: Michael was not
a happy lad.

63
00:05:06,425 --> 00:05:08,256
He did not have
a happy background.

64
00:05:08,925 --> 00:05:11,792
He used to spend a lot of time
at our house.

65
00:05:12,175 --> 00:05:14,166
He was never in any hurry
to go home.

66
00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:15,790
I'll simply leave it at that.

67
00:05:16,675 --> 00:05:19,542
Michael: I just used to watch
'em and hang out with them,

68
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:20,915
and it was fun, you know?

69
00:05:21,133 --> 00:05:22,293
Andrew gave me a microphone

70
00:05:22,300 --> 00:05:24,700
and said, "do you wanna sing?
I'm trying out these drummers."

71
00:05:24,758 --> 00:05:26,794
And that was the beginning
of the end.

72
00:05:27,133 --> 00:05:28,794
Michael: Hey, Simon,
where are you?

73
00:05:29,675 --> 00:05:32,667
INXS: Simple Simon

74
00:05:38,633 --> 00:05:42,000
Simon found love, in love
he thinks he found himself

75
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:44,541
only has a heart for her
and her alone 

76
00:05:45,008 --> 00:05:47,795
Michael would show me
lyrics he'd been working on.

77
00:05:48,050 --> 00:05:50,166
I said "these are great.
What's your inspiration?"

78
00:05:50,300 --> 00:05:51,665
He said, "oh, well,
I've had some times"

79
00:05:51,675 --> 00:05:54,166
"where I've had to question
things, so I read books."

80
00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:55,665
"Hermann hesse's siddhartha"

81
00:05:55,675 --> 00:05:58,007
"and kahlil gibran's
the prophet."

82
00:05:58,508 --> 00:06:01,500
There was something different
in the way he looked at things,

83
00:06:01,550 --> 00:06:03,165
the way he was able
to articulate it.

84
00:06:03,550 --> 00:06:05,882
I knew he was someone
really interesting.

85
00:06:06,550 --> 00:06:08,541
I usually can only write about what

86
00:06:09,050 --> 00:06:12,167
um.. Seems to apply to myself
or my surroundings

87
00:06:12,175 --> 00:06:14,291
or my friends, or whatever.
So um...

88
00:06:14,925 --> 00:06:17,166
It must be that way,
I must have...

89
00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:19,507
I'll have to explain it
that way.

90
00:06:20,633 --> 00:06:21,633
INXS: The loved one

91
00:06:21,883 --> 00:06:23,794
walking like

92
00:06:25,133 --> 00:06:26,919
talking like

93
00:06:28,300 --> 00:06:30,291
wanting like

94
00:06:31,550 --> 00:06:32,550
she comes...

95
00:06:32,675 --> 00:06:34,290
Michael: I used to hang out
with ananda.

96
00:06:34,425 --> 00:06:36,916
She was a poet.
A very young poet.

97
00:06:37,175 --> 00:06:39,006
Kind of advanced
for her years, really.

98
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,257
She got me into
all this beat scene,

99
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:44,632
ferlinghetti and Ginsberg.

100
00:06:45,175 --> 00:06:48,133
The power of words
became apparent to me.

101
00:06:50,300 --> 00:06:54,248
On that night,
I was in full slave get-up,

102
00:06:54,425 --> 00:06:56,416
with all the
leather criss-crosses.

103
00:06:56,508 --> 00:07:00,501
Hardly anything on at all,
except for a collar and a lead.

104
00:07:01,425 --> 00:07:03,507
I was with my boyfriend
at the time,

105
00:07:03,550 --> 00:07:04,881
then I met Michael,

106
00:07:04,925 --> 00:07:08,042
and sometime, very soon after
that, I was just with Michael.

107
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:12,792
He turned out to be
a very sweet-natured person.

108
00:07:14,425 --> 00:07:17,292
He didn't have a lot of rules,
he just wanted you to be happy.

109
00:07:18,133 --> 00:07:22,046
There's no aphrodisiac like
being listened to sincerely.

110
00:07:22,925 --> 00:07:28,124
He had a genuine artistry,
an artist's eye and sensibility

111
00:07:28,258 --> 00:07:30,419
about the world and himself.

112
00:07:31,508 --> 00:07:33,044
We read books together

113
00:07:33,050 --> 00:07:35,257
and we used to listen
to lyrics together

114
00:07:35,383 --> 00:07:36,919
and work out what they meant.

115
00:07:37,175 --> 00:07:39,791
Oscar wilde, Charles bukowski,

116
00:07:39,925 --> 00:07:42,917
and Dylan Thomas,
under milk wood.

117
00:07:43,175 --> 00:07:45,632
I remember him reading
the picture of Dorian gray,

118
00:07:45,675 --> 00:07:47,165
and he really loved that image

119
00:07:47,258 --> 00:07:48,543
of there being
a picture somewhere

120
00:07:48,550 --> 00:07:52,122
where all your evil
and bad living shows up

121
00:07:52,675 --> 00:07:55,382
and you remain youthful
and sweet.

122
00:07:56,050 --> 00:07:57,665
well, I love her so 

123
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,256
ananda: Michael used to say

124
00:07:59,258 --> 00:08:00,794
that he didn't know
what love was.

125
00:08:01,175 --> 00:08:02,915
So, I would go, "I love you,"

126
00:08:03,050 --> 00:08:05,541
and he would go,
"t don't know what love is."

127
00:08:06,175 --> 00:08:07,881
anytime I say 

128
00:08:08,175 --> 00:08:11,542
ananda: During that time,
men in suits kept turning up.

129
00:08:12,258 --> 00:08:13,794
Band management,

130
00:08:14,008 --> 00:08:17,796
they seemed to have lots
of plans for these young men.

131
00:08:19,175 --> 00:08:21,507
I go down to
the stagedoor tavern.

132
00:08:21,633 --> 00:08:23,043
This little band comes on stage.

133
00:08:23,175 --> 00:08:26,042
Next minute, this quirky,
little, skinny guy came on

134
00:08:26,175 --> 00:08:27,381
and I was like, "hmm."

135
00:08:27,508 --> 00:08:29,669
So I went backstage and
introduced myself to them.

136
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,041
I said, "ok, guys, this thing
about management,

137
00:08:32,092 --> 00:08:36,040
"t'll only do it on the basis
that we do it internationally."

138
00:08:36,175 --> 00:08:38,461
Michael's hand went up
like a schoolkid.

139
00:08:38,592 --> 00:08:40,457
He goes, "yes! I'm in!"

140
00:08:40,592 --> 00:08:42,207
So, I said,
"ok. It's gonna very serious.

141
00:08:42,342 --> 00:08:44,583
"I'm gonna work you guys
like dogs."

142
00:08:48,842 --> 00:08:51,083
We played and played
and played everywhere.

143
00:08:51,092 --> 00:08:52,207
Hundreds of shows a year.

144
00:08:52,467 --> 00:08:53,957
Until the record companies
had to sign us,

145
00:08:53,967 --> 00:08:55,582
'cause we had
such a big audience.

146
00:08:57,092 --> 00:08:59,333
Molly: When are you touring?
- We are touring right now.

147
00:08:59,467 --> 00:09:00,832
- This Monday we start.
- Right

148
00:09:00,967 --> 00:09:04,664
and we take off for about
two or three weeks, everywhere.

149
00:09:05,092 --> 00:09:07,458
And it was
five, six shows a week.

150
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,462
Melbourne on a Saturday, back
to do a Sydney show on Sunday.

151
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:11,835
Two shows on a Sunday.

152
00:09:14,675 --> 00:09:16,916
Michael was just
one of the guys.

153
00:09:17,175 --> 00:09:18,460
One big happy family.

154
00:09:20,592 --> 00:09:23,299
Michael always just had
that aura about him.

155
00:09:23,675 --> 00:09:25,711
The other five guys felt that,
as well.

156
00:09:26,092 --> 00:09:27,673
He always had star qualities.

157
00:09:27,967 --> 00:09:29,927
It was just a matter
of getting that to the world.

158
00:09:31,342 --> 00:09:32,673
When Michael began to realise

159
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,711
and get the confidence
that he could sing things

160
00:09:34,842 --> 00:09:35,922
he believed in,

161
00:09:36,050 --> 00:09:39,042
that's when it all really
started to happen for us.

162
00:09:40,342 --> 00:09:44,585
He really wanted
to be a real artist

163
00:09:44,925 --> 00:09:46,290
of some kind,

164
00:09:46,467 --> 00:09:49,914
working towards
a lifelong body of work.

165
00:09:51,217 --> 00:09:54,835
He was working very practically
towards becoming famous.

166
00:09:55,592 --> 00:09:59,289
I didn't know how profoundly
meaningful it was to him.

167
00:09:59,842 --> 00:10:03,334
His desire for fame
really fell into context for me

168
00:10:03,467 --> 00:10:05,173
when I met his mum.

169
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:08,463
Serge Gainsbourg:
Je t'aime... moi non plus

170
00:10:10,717 --> 00:10:13,049
Michael: My parents used to
have good parties occasionally

171
00:10:13,175 --> 00:10:15,336
and play a lot of soul music
and that kind of stuff.

172
00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:18,791
Always there'd be
this period of the night

173
00:10:18,925 --> 00:10:22,338
when they would put on this
record by serge Gainsbourg

174
00:10:22,717 --> 00:10:24,207
called je t'aime.

175
00:10:25,550 --> 00:10:29,213
je vais, je vais et je viens 

176
00:10:29,342 --> 00:10:31,833
Michael: That would be
the signal for the kids to go.

177
00:10:31,967 --> 00:10:33,548
So we'd always go,
"oh, not this song!"

178
00:10:33,592 --> 00:10:35,332
We had no idea, really,
what it meant.

179
00:10:35,550 --> 00:10:38,087
But I do remember it being
a very evocative atmosphere

180
00:10:38,175 --> 00:10:39,961
and the sexuality of it
being very strong.

181
00:10:40,467 --> 00:10:41,582
That impressed me

182
00:10:41,675 --> 00:10:43,956
that a piece of music could
have such an impact on a room.

183
00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:49,588
My sister, who's a bit older,
she was a go-go dancer.

184
00:10:49,717 --> 00:10:52,459
She used to rehearse with
her girlfriends in the house.

185
00:10:52,592 --> 00:10:54,207
I liked the rehearsals.

186
00:10:55,842 --> 00:10:57,457
A lot of motown stuff,
everything.

187
00:10:57,842 --> 00:10:58,842
A lot of music.

188
00:10:59,217 --> 00:11:02,209
The supremes, dionne,
Diana Ross,

189
00:11:02,342 --> 00:11:03,422
James brown.

190
00:11:03,717 --> 00:11:05,457
I always had a soft spot
for the Beatles,

191
00:11:05,550 --> 00:11:06,790
especially John Lennon.

192
00:11:06,925 --> 00:11:08,335
The Bee Gees doing...

193
00:11:08,467 --> 00:11:09,547
lonely days

194
00:11:09,675 --> 00:11:10,675
lonely nights and

195
00:11:11,175 --> 00:11:14,167
electric warrior,
'cause I just loved Marc bolan.

196
00:11:14,425 --> 00:11:16,837
Aretha Franklin's voice
singing respect,

197
00:11:17,050 --> 00:11:18,460
that got me into singing.

198
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,160
Man, over pa: Ladies
and gentlemen,

199
00:11:21,217 --> 00:11:22,332
welcome to Hong Kong.

200
00:11:22,592 --> 00:11:25,425
The local time is 5:18pm.

201
00:11:25,550 --> 00:11:26,790
On behalf of...

202
00:11:26,925 --> 00:11:29,166
Michael: My dad's a real
wanderer. A bit like me.

203
00:11:29,300 --> 00:11:30,540
He's been all over the place.

204
00:11:30,675 --> 00:11:32,085
We just moved to Hong Kong.

205
00:11:32,217 --> 00:11:34,458
He was a manager for gande price

206
00:11:34,592 --> 00:11:36,173
that imported
all the moet and chandon.

207
00:11:36,300 --> 00:11:38,291
That's why we had
so many parties.

208
00:11:39,550 --> 00:11:41,666
We lived at the Hong Kong Hilton

209
00:11:41,717 --> 00:11:44,208
for the first two months.

210
00:11:45,342 --> 00:11:46,582
Michael: My room.

211
00:11:47,592 --> 00:11:50,049
Tina: The boys thought
that was just our house.

212
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,462
They'd jump in the lifts, they
knew how to push those buttons

213
00:11:53,592 --> 00:11:55,173
and they'd go up and down.

214
00:11:55,592 --> 00:11:57,958
Mother and I would be up
and down trying to find them.

215
00:12:15,842 --> 00:12:18,584
I was managing
a childrenswear department.

216
00:12:18,717 --> 00:12:20,582
We needed a little fashion show,

217
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,540
so naturally I grabbed the boys.

218
00:12:22,675 --> 00:12:25,291
Michael was probably
nine or ten.

219
00:12:25,425 --> 00:12:29,543
The day of, Rhett just got out
there and he's making faces.

220
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,961
Michael's not so sure
about this.

221
00:12:33,175 --> 00:12:36,588
He's looking, and then
I sort of pushed him on there,

222
00:12:37,050 --> 00:12:39,041
and all of a sudden,
he walked out,

223
00:12:39,217 --> 00:12:42,789
and he did see the people,
his face changed.

224
00:12:42,842 --> 00:12:45,584
He got into it, he started
really enjoying himself.

225
00:12:45,717 --> 00:12:47,958
Turned around,
he's winking at me,

226
00:12:48,092 --> 00:12:50,799
which surprised me,
because he was a shy kid.

227
00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:56,669
Michael's report cards
always said things like,

228
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,416
"Michael is a dreamer.
Michael doesn't concentrate.

229
00:12:59,550 --> 00:13:02,587
"Michael won't get anywhere
if he keeps this up.”

230
00:13:03,342 --> 00:13:05,082
He was a dreamer.

231
00:13:05,217 --> 00:13:07,924
We didn't know
what he was dreaming about.

232
00:13:08,050 --> 00:13:11,793
When he said he was going to
sing with this band,

233
00:13:11,925 --> 00:13:14,587
that just surprised the heck
out of me.

234
00:13:14,717 --> 00:13:15,797
Here's this kid

235
00:13:15,925 --> 00:13:17,836
who didn't wanna walk into
a roomful of people,

236
00:13:17,967 --> 00:13:19,332
let alone sing.

237
00:13:19,467 --> 00:13:20,582
Anticipation!

238
00:13:22,175 --> 00:13:23,711
Anxiety attack!

239
00:13:30,342 --> 00:13:33,084
Michael Hutchence:
Spill the wine

240
00:13:35,342 --> 00:13:38,084
there was just a
presence, something behind me,

241
00:13:38,175 --> 00:13:39,175
someone staring,

242
00:13:39,425 --> 00:13:41,336
and I didn't know who he was,
I didn't look.

243
00:13:41,925 --> 00:13:43,085
He was really shy,

244
00:13:43,217 --> 00:13:44,957
but he did make a point
of walking up

245
00:13:45,092 --> 00:13:46,798
and asking if I was leaving.

246
00:13:46,925 --> 00:13:49,086
I didn't think too much more
about it,

247
00:13:49,217 --> 00:13:50,582
until I met him again.

248
00:13:50,717 --> 00:13:53,584
He just eyeballed me.

249
00:13:53,717 --> 00:13:56,709
When he focuses on you,
it's hard to ignore.

250
00:13:56,842 --> 00:13:59,584
It draws you in
and draws things out.

251
00:14:02,842 --> 00:14:05,083
I'd never experienced
anything like that.

252
00:14:05,342 --> 00:14:08,789
He was just very, very
different from anyone I'd met.

253
00:14:08,925 --> 00:14:10,711
It swept me off my feet.

254
00:14:12,592 --> 00:14:14,924
He came across
as a little bit pretentious,

255
00:14:15,050 --> 00:14:18,213
because he started to spout
sartre and camus

256
00:14:18,342 --> 00:14:19,707
and existentialism.

257
00:14:19,842 --> 00:14:21,707
I think he thought
it was pretty impressive.

258
00:14:21,842 --> 00:14:24,083
Michele: I think you'd be
really boring if you stay here.

259
00:14:24,217 --> 00:14:26,549
Yeah? I'd just contemplate
all the time.

260
00:14:26,717 --> 00:14:28,924
Michele: You'd contemplate
and philosophise.

261
00:14:28,967 --> 00:14:30,207
I know. I would, actually.

262
00:14:30,342 --> 00:14:31,832
Michele: Mm.

263
00:14:34,092 --> 00:14:36,834
Michael: I got a really old
1919 citroen,

264
00:14:36,967 --> 00:14:39,709
which I drove from Melbourne
to Sydney.

265
00:14:39,967 --> 00:14:41,958
And it was great,
it was wonderful.

266
00:14:42,425 --> 00:14:44,586
It was the best car
I've ever driven in my life.

267
00:14:44,717 --> 00:14:46,582
Michele: I just put
all my things in this car

268
00:14:46,717 --> 00:14:48,548
that wasn't registered.

269
00:14:48,675 --> 00:14:50,540
I didn't know
he didn't have a licence.

270
00:14:51,925 --> 00:14:54,041
Michele: And we moved
to this house in Paddington.

271
00:14:54,175 --> 00:14:55,961
Michele walked through the door,

272
00:14:56,092 --> 00:14:58,674
and it was this drop-dead
gorgeous young girl.

273
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,042
Michael: Michele. Michele!

274
00:15:02,175 --> 00:15:05,417
Jenny: Immediately very warm and funny

275
00:15:05,550 --> 00:15:08,838
and I loved her
right from the first moment.

276
00:15:08,967 --> 00:15:10,423
Michael: Happy...

277
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,586
They were like
two peas in a pod.

278
00:15:17,925 --> 00:15:20,541
The wild hair
and the big smiles.

279
00:15:20,842 --> 00:15:22,924
That was true love to me.

280
00:15:23,842 --> 00:15:26,049
Hello, this is
Michael hutchence's

281
00:15:26,175 --> 00:15:27,460
wildlife documentary.

282
00:15:27,592 --> 00:15:28,923
Over here we have

283
00:15:29,050 --> 00:15:30,711
what's commonly known
as London bridge.

284
00:15:30,842 --> 00:15:32,457
born free 

285
00:15:33,092 --> 00:15:34,332
he was a drifter.

286
00:15:34,467 --> 00:15:36,924
I don't remember him ever
having a stack of records

287
00:15:37,050 --> 00:15:38,460
or a record player or anything.

288
00:15:38,925 --> 00:15:40,961
You sort of came, one night,
into Michele's room,

289
00:15:41,092 --> 00:15:43,026
there were all these clothes
strewn around the floor,

290
00:15:43,050 --> 00:15:44,085
and that was Michael.

291
00:15:44,967 --> 00:15:47,458
You just knew
he deeply loved her,

292
00:15:47,592 --> 00:15:50,584
you knew he was in awe of her

293
00:15:50,717 --> 00:15:53,208
and he really felt he had
a little family in that house,

294
00:15:53,342 --> 00:15:55,424
to be loved and to be
cared about and supported,

295
00:15:55,550 --> 00:15:56,585
and we did.

296
00:15:56,717 --> 00:15:58,298
well, you know I love... 

297
00:16:00,342 --> 00:16:02,333
Michele: He loved christmases,

298
00:16:02,467 --> 00:16:05,300
and he needed his own
little tribe around him.

299
00:16:05,425 --> 00:16:06,961
He didn't wanna go on tour,

300
00:16:07,092 --> 00:16:08,651
he just wanted to stay
in the house with us,

301
00:16:08,675 --> 00:16:10,040
because it was a load of fun.

302
00:16:10,175 --> 00:16:11,540
Just fucking at the party.

303
00:16:13,300 --> 00:16:15,837
Nick: Once he was nearly
in tears going away and saying,

304
00:16:15,967 --> 00:16:17,707
"I just wanna stay here
with you guys."

305
00:16:18,717 --> 00:16:20,332
See you. Michele: Bye!

306
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,540
Michael: Oh, yes!

307
00:16:28,675 --> 00:16:29,710
Let me hear all you!

308
00:16:33,092 --> 00:16:34,832
Fucking hell!

309
00:16:41,425 --> 00:16:43,165
Hello, we're INXS.

310
00:16:44,425 --> 00:16:45,460
From Sydney.

311
00:16:47,092 --> 00:16:49,674
The audiences
were suddenly out there,

312
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:50,915
knew the words,

313
00:16:51,050 --> 00:16:53,041
and we were getting
some great reactions,

314
00:16:53,175 --> 00:16:54,290
surprising reactions.

315
00:16:54,467 --> 00:16:56,458
INXS: The one thing

316
00:16:56,592 --> 00:16:59,914
well, you know
just what you do to me

317
00:17:00,050 --> 00:17:01,460
the way you move

318
00:17:01,592 --> 00:17:02,707
soft and slippery 

319
00:17:02,842 --> 00:17:05,629
he was really, like,
a rock star waiting to happen.

320
00:17:05,758 --> 00:17:07,419
They just needed to have
the hit records.

321
00:17:07,550 --> 00:17:09,290
He was the complete package.

322
00:17:09,508 --> 00:17:12,045
Which is a really strange
thing to come across.

323
00:17:12,175 --> 00:17:13,255
Very strange.

324
00:17:15,550 --> 00:17:18,542
At that point, it
was just unrelenting touring.

325
00:17:18,883 --> 00:17:21,295
Arriving in one city,
sound check, playing,

326
00:17:21,425 --> 00:17:23,256
driving through the night
to the next place.

327
00:17:23,383 --> 00:17:26,045
He'd never stay in any place
long enough

328
00:17:26,175 --> 00:17:28,166
to experience a city
or its culture.

329
00:17:28,383 --> 00:17:30,294
And I just loathed it.

330
00:17:30,425 --> 00:17:33,167
Michael: Yeah.
Michele, where are we?

331
00:17:33,300 --> 00:17:36,007
- San Fran...
Michael: Francisco.

332
00:17:36,133 --> 00:17:37,669
with flowers... 

333
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,040
New Orleans!

334
00:17:39,175 --> 00:17:40,915
Michele: He didn't like
being apart.

335
00:17:41,133 --> 00:17:43,294
He didn't like being apart
from his friends, either.

336
00:17:43,425 --> 00:17:46,622
He wanted you to be with him.
He did not like to be alone.

337
00:17:46,758 --> 00:17:48,401
He needed to feel like
he belonged somewhere,

338
00:17:48,425 --> 00:17:50,791
and I think that is
part of the reason

339
00:17:50,925 --> 00:17:54,668
why INXS was a family to him.

340
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,997
Hi, Michele.
This is us in London.

341
00:17:58,133 --> 00:17:59,669
See you very soon.
Miss you very much.

342
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,667
Nick: He loved coming home
to the house. He missed it.

343
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,917
She was her own person and
she didn't take the bullshit,

344
00:18:06,050 --> 00:18:07,665
and very easily
could see through people,

345
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,631
someone who wasn't genuine,

346
00:18:09,758 --> 00:18:11,419
and she had no problems
about showing it.

347
00:18:11,550 --> 00:18:13,415
Michael: My Michele,
we're going home now.

348
00:18:13,550 --> 00:18:14,915
Are you driving?

349
00:18:15,050 --> 00:18:16,530
Nick: Michael did love that
about her.

350
00:18:16,633 --> 00:18:18,498
What?!

351
00:18:18,633 --> 00:18:19,793
You can't have an ice-cream!

352
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:23,416
I'm sick of you asking
all the time, Michele!

353
00:18:23,550 --> 00:18:24,665
Are you filming?

354
00:18:24,883 --> 00:18:26,293
Oh... honey.

355
00:18:26,508 --> 00:18:27,508
Like the view?

356
00:18:27,758 --> 00:18:28,793
It's nice, huh?

357
00:18:29,675 --> 00:18:31,040
I'm so glad we came out here.

358
00:18:35,550 --> 00:18:37,791
Let's go to the us top five
for this week,

359
00:18:37,925 --> 00:18:40,667
and look at number five,
what you need, INXS.

360
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,006
Michael: Yeah!

361
00:18:43,175 --> 00:18:44,665
Hey!

362
00:18:44,925 --> 00:18:46,290
What do you need?

363
00:18:46,675 --> 00:18:48,666
Chris came into a show in Tokyo,

364
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,165
and he came backstage
and he said,

365
00:18:50,300 --> 00:18:52,401
"oh, that was the best gig
I've ever seen in my life."

366
00:18:52,425 --> 00:18:54,416
We thought, "this guy's
pretty enthusiastic.”

367
00:18:54,550 --> 00:18:56,882
We decided to go in the studio
and see what could happen.

368
00:18:58,050 --> 00:19:00,166
Andrew brought in
this demo of this riff

369
00:19:00,300 --> 00:19:01,915
and I thought, "wow!"

370
00:19:02,050 --> 00:19:04,541
I thought, "James brown!
Everybody's gonna dance to it."

371
00:19:04,675 --> 00:19:06,882
And we started it the next day,

372
00:19:07,008 --> 00:19:09,795
and on the Friday night,
I took a rough mix to Benny's,

373
00:19:09,925 --> 00:19:12,041
and I asked them to pop this on.

374
00:19:12,175 --> 00:19:14,791
And it had an immediate
physical effect

375
00:19:14,925 --> 00:19:15,925
on everybody in there,

376
00:19:16,050 --> 00:19:17,901
and I thought, "yeah,
I think we've cracked it."

377
00:19:17,925 --> 00:19:19,290
INXS: What you need

378
00:19:19,425 --> 00:19:22,007
hey, here is the story

379
00:19:23,008 --> 00:19:25,875
forget about your troubles
in life

380
00:19:26,925 --> 00:19:28,040
ciao.

381
00:19:30,383 --> 00:19:31,543
Michael: It was incredible.

382
00:19:31,675 --> 00:19:34,166
You suddenly get this feeling
that people know who you are

383
00:19:34,300 --> 00:19:36,416
and you really exist
in their lives and their minds

384
00:19:36,550 --> 00:19:38,916
and they really are enjoying it
and enjoying your music,

385
00:19:39,050 --> 00:19:41,090
and it's a great feeling
and it really urges you on.

386
00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:44,165
Cor, that's beautiful!

387
00:19:45,633 --> 00:19:47,373
You just don't see it
in Australia, do you?

388
00:19:49,300 --> 00:19:51,526
give you what you need,
I give you what you need, yeah! 

389
00:19:51,550 --> 00:19:55,168
he was always the first
person to arrive at the studio.

390
00:19:55,258 --> 00:19:57,544
He was really
watching everything.

391
00:19:57,675 --> 00:20:00,417
He was the one
who had a real idea

392
00:20:00,550 --> 00:20:02,415
of where things should go.

393
00:20:02,550 --> 00:20:04,550
He really did have an instinct
for the whole thing.

394
00:20:04,675 --> 00:20:07,417
I was learning stuff from him!

395
00:20:07,550 --> 00:20:10,383
He wrote most of the top lines
for those songs,

396
00:20:10,508 --> 00:20:12,123
the actual tune
that the singer sings.

397
00:20:12,258 --> 00:20:15,375
He wasn't just writing words,
he was writing melodies.

398
00:20:15,508 --> 00:20:18,170
Well, there ain't no sense
in all your crying

399
00:20:19,425 --> 00:20:22,007
just pick it up
and throw it into shape

400
00:20:22,133 --> 00:20:23,418
oh, what do you say? 

401
00:20:27,675 --> 00:20:30,166
Chris: Michael off-stage was
as far removed as a rock star

402
00:20:30,300 --> 00:20:31,415
as was possible.

403
00:20:31,550 --> 00:20:33,401
He was one of the loveliest
people I've ever met,

404
00:20:33,425 --> 00:20:34,705
without any question of a doubt.

405
00:20:35,675 --> 00:20:37,040
She's from Australia!

406
00:20:38,133 --> 00:20:39,919
He had such
a presence about him.

407
00:20:40,383 --> 00:20:41,873
He could look you in the eye

408
00:20:42,008 --> 00:20:44,294
and make you feel like you're
the only person in the room.

409
00:20:44,425 --> 00:20:47,792
And he could do it if you were
a male or a female,

410
00:20:47,925 --> 00:20:50,291
he could do it to kids,
he could do it to animals.

411
00:20:50,425 --> 00:20:53,417
He just had that way about him.

412
00:21:21,175 --> 00:21:23,040
Andrew farriss on keyboards.

413
00:21:23,175 --> 00:21:25,666
I don't think Michael
was a particularly good singer

414
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:26,800
when we first started,

415
00:21:26,925 --> 00:21:28,916
he was just a good guy
who was my friend.

416
00:21:29,050 --> 00:21:31,041
But he developed,
unbelievably exponentially

417
00:21:31,175 --> 00:21:34,542
as a talent, as a person,
on stage and as a singer.

418
00:21:35,175 --> 00:21:37,791
Michael became
a really good singer.

419
00:21:38,175 --> 00:21:39,415
An amazing singer.

420
00:21:39,550 --> 00:21:41,165
I don't really know
how to describe it.

421
00:21:43,050 --> 00:21:44,881
Hey-oh!

422
00:21:45,008 --> 00:21:47,249
helpless baby

423
00:21:48,675 --> 00:21:51,041
evil child

424
00:21:51,175 --> 00:21:54,872
it really bothers me that
he didn't really understand

425
00:21:55,008 --> 00:21:57,420
just how great a voice he had.

426
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,917
you want me aga-a-ain 

427
00:22:02,050 --> 00:22:05,747
Bono: He had this fragility
just underneath the bravado.

428
00:22:07,383 --> 00:22:09,624
He just sang with such passion

429
00:22:09,758 --> 00:22:11,919
and such incredible personality.

430
00:22:12,050 --> 00:22:13,790
He just became
an incredible singer.

431
00:22:13,925 --> 00:22:15,415
A really incredible singer.

432
00:22:15,508 --> 00:22:17,373
baby, that's all right

433
00:22:18,133 --> 00:22:20,670
oh, that's a-a-all right

434
00:22:23,050 --> 00:22:24,050
oh! 

435
00:22:24,133 --> 00:22:25,919
we've never changed
a key in our life.

436
00:22:26,050 --> 00:22:28,166
Michael sang anything
that we wrote,

437
00:22:28,300 --> 00:22:29,700
with a full voice,
with a low voice,

438
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,290
night after night,
week after week.

439
00:22:31,425 --> 00:22:33,165
He never missed a beat.

440
00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:36,258
red dress on

441
00:22:36,383 --> 00:22:38,169
long black hair 

442
00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:40,666
I remember asking Michael

443
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,791
what his definition
of rock and roll was.

444
00:22:43,383 --> 00:22:45,419
He said, "liberation."

445
00:22:46,175 --> 00:22:48,541
anytime I say, now

446
00:22:49,675 --> 00:22:51,540
anytime I say, now

447
00:22:52,550 --> 00:22:53,915
oh, baby... 

448
00:22:54,050 --> 00:22:56,291
he always wanted to
be stimulated in terms of music

449
00:22:56,425 --> 00:22:57,505
and art.

450
00:22:57,633 --> 00:23:00,420
He was motivated more by
getting creative satisfaction

451
00:23:00,550 --> 00:23:02,916
out of what he was doing
and making his Mark.

452
00:23:03,050 --> 00:23:05,257
This isn't what you think
it is on a plane.

453
00:23:05,383 --> 00:23:06,498
We wouldn't do that.

454
00:23:06,633 --> 00:23:08,874
We'd spend mind-numbing hours

455
00:23:09,008 --> 00:23:11,169
talking to Michael
about theatre,

456
00:23:11,300 --> 00:23:13,165
art, literature, painting,

457
00:23:13,300 --> 00:23:16,872
all the pretentious, nobby
stuff that we kind of got into,

458
00:23:17,008 --> 00:23:19,670
and there was certainly
a plethora of things

459
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,667
that seemed to be much more
interesting than pop music.

460
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,291
I'm reading les enfants
terribles by cocteau.

461
00:23:25,425 --> 00:23:27,666
Woman: Ooh! - It's really good.

462
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,040
Woman: Is it? - Yeah.

463
00:23:29,175 --> 00:23:30,881
Woman: Are you reading it
in the French?

464
00:23:31,008 --> 00:23:32,168
No. No, sorry.

465
00:23:32,300 --> 00:23:33,756
Woman: You were just
showing off,

466
00:23:33,883 --> 00:23:35,293
giving me the French title.

467
00:23:35,425 --> 00:23:37,006
Yeah, I was just showing off.

468
00:23:37,133 --> 00:23:39,419
Woman: So you're
an intellectual.

469
00:23:39,550 --> 00:23:40,756
English. But actually...

470
00:23:40,883 --> 00:23:42,043
No, I'm not intellectual.

471
00:23:42,175 --> 00:23:43,290
I know some intellectuals.

472
00:23:43,425 --> 00:23:45,541
That's why I know
I'm not an intellectual!

473
00:23:47,425 --> 00:23:49,165
He had some spirit

474
00:23:49,383 --> 00:23:53,422
that made his persona
an extension of how he was.

475
00:23:53,675 --> 00:23:55,666
The person
that you saw as a performer

476
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,631
had the same
generosity of spirit

477
00:23:57,758 --> 00:24:00,170
that he had as a human being.

478
00:24:01,508 --> 00:24:03,920
Michael told me around that time

479
00:24:04,050 --> 00:24:07,497
that he felt that Michele was
too good for him.

480
00:24:07,675 --> 00:24:10,382
That she held him
too tight a moral line.

481
00:24:12,675 --> 00:24:14,165
Michele: Here we go.

482
00:24:25,675 --> 00:24:27,290
We broke up, got back together,

483
00:24:27,425 --> 00:24:28,545
broke up, got back together,

484
00:24:28,633 --> 00:24:30,544
and then this one time,
where he said,

485
00:24:30,675 --> 00:24:32,666
"no, no, this is the time
it's gonna work,"

486
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,041
that's when I said, "you must
spend some time on your own

487
00:24:35,175 --> 00:24:37,291
"and just think about
what you want,

488
00:24:37,425 --> 00:24:39,541
"because I don't believe
this is what you want."

489
00:24:39,675 --> 00:24:41,791
The whole thing was a disaster,

490
00:24:41,925 --> 00:24:44,045
and I remember him just
ringing me up and just saying,

491
00:24:44,133 --> 00:24:47,170
"you've made me do this,
and it's just the worst idea.”

492
00:24:47,300 --> 00:24:49,916
When he came back to Sydney,
it was torturous.

493
00:24:50,050 --> 00:24:51,665
We were just coming at things

494
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,290
from completely different
directions

495
00:24:53,425 --> 00:24:55,040
and it was not working.

496
00:24:55,175 --> 00:24:57,040
Michael ripped the band-aid off.

497
00:24:57,175 --> 00:25:00,247
He called it,
and it was very hurtful,

498
00:25:00,383 --> 00:25:02,294
but it was the best thing to do.

499
00:25:02,425 --> 00:25:05,292
He threw it back on me,
that I was never satisfied,

500
00:25:05,425 --> 00:25:06,631
I wasn't happy,

501
00:25:06,758 --> 00:25:10,421
and he couldn't change anything
and I couldn't change anything.

502
00:25:10,550 --> 00:25:12,666
He just saw it for what it was,

503
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,758
whereas I was hoping for
some sort of solution,

504
00:25:15,883 --> 00:25:17,563
and I don't know
what that would have been.

505
00:25:18,633 --> 00:25:20,419
I've never seen her
as distraught.

506
00:25:20,550 --> 00:25:23,417
It just tore into me, because
she was like family to me.

507
00:25:23,550 --> 00:25:24,915
And I was sitting there
beside her

508
00:25:25,008 --> 00:25:26,919
and she just had no idea,
"why is he doing this?

509
00:25:27,050 --> 00:25:28,790
"What's going on?
Why have you done this?"

510
00:25:28,925 --> 00:25:30,881
The one person who's
the best thing in your life.

511
00:25:34,425 --> 00:25:36,416
He did love her. I know he did.

512
00:25:37,550 --> 00:25:39,916
They were an absolutely
delightful couple,

513
00:25:40,050 --> 00:25:41,790
destined to be together forever.

514
00:25:42,675 --> 00:25:45,132
He was very unhappy about that.

515
00:25:51,300 --> 00:25:53,165
The connection
between them was phenomenal.

516
00:25:53,758 --> 00:25:55,123
For years and years afterwards,

517
00:25:55,300 --> 00:25:56,776
almost with every relationship
he had,

518
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,916
he was always calling her.

519
00:26:08,300 --> 00:26:14,170
INXS: Never tear us apart

520
00:26:22,425 --> 00:26:23,756
don't ask me 

521
00:26:27,925 --> 00:26:29,040
Michael: Er...

522
00:26:29,258 --> 00:26:31,123
Well, it's kinda personal.

523
00:26:33,883 --> 00:26:36,545
I love your precious heart

524
00:26:37,758 --> 00:26:39,043
it

525
00:26:39,133 --> 00:26:40,873
Michael: I don't make up
love songs, so...

526
00:26:42,425 --> 00:26:45,872
It's definitely a song
for a girl called Michele.

527
00:26:48,383 --> 00:26:50,609
Michael: Yeah, she knows,
but we're not together anymore,

528
00:26:50,633 --> 00:26:52,169
so it doesn't work, does it?

529
00:26:52,425 --> 00:26:56,873
and they could never
tear us apart 

530
00:27:03,383 --> 00:27:05,544
Michael hutchence,
he's hot, he's rad.

531
00:27:05,675 --> 00:27:08,382
He's, like, the thing
right now, and I want him.

532
00:27:08,508 --> 00:27:09,508
All: Michael hutchence.

533
00:27:09,633 --> 00:27:11,294
So sexy!

534
00:27:11,425 --> 00:27:12,790
for a thousand years

535
00:27:14,050 --> 00:27:16,166
but if I hurt youd

536
00:27:17,383 --> 00:27:19,023
Michael: Things just got
bigger and bigger

537
00:27:19,133 --> 00:27:20,133
as we went along,

538
00:27:20,258 --> 00:27:22,294
and you're thinking
"this can't keep happening."

539
00:27:22,425 --> 00:27:23,915
Oh, it was very exciting.

540
00:27:25,758 --> 00:27:27,518
It was a long tour,
it was a year and a half,

541
00:27:27,550 --> 00:27:29,165
and it felt like ten
by the end of it.

542
00:27:30,675 --> 00:27:32,006
Come over here.

543
00:27:34,925 --> 00:27:36,256
Owl!

544
00:27:36,383 --> 00:27:39,045
INXS: Need you tonight

545
00:27:44,383 --> 00:27:45,668
It was just massive.

546
00:27:45,758 --> 00:27:47,078
The kick album
changed everything.

547
00:27:47,300 --> 00:27:48,790
We wanted to get success,

548
00:27:48,925 --> 00:27:52,042
we didn't dream it was gonna
become quite that intense.

549
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,416
I never really, actually,
consciously went around going,

550
00:27:56,550 --> 00:27:59,792
"we wanna be big,"
and all that stuff.

551
00:27:59,925 --> 00:28:03,668
I'm a very unconsciously
purposeful person.

552
00:28:05,258 --> 00:28:07,795
So, from the fantasy
to the reality, that,

553
00:28:07,925 --> 00:28:09,916
"oh, this is actually
happening,"

554
00:28:10,050 --> 00:28:11,130
that became very tricky,

555
00:28:11,258 --> 00:28:12,919
because I wasn't
very comfortable with it.

556
00:28:13,050 --> 00:28:14,506
So I've invented a persona

557
00:28:14,675 --> 00:28:17,542
to deal with the necessity
of getting through it.

558
00:28:17,675 --> 00:28:18,790
I enjoyed it,

559
00:28:18,925 --> 00:28:21,667
but I had to create something
that kept me inside, as well.

560
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,791
There's probably three people,
maybe four or five,

561
00:28:23,925 --> 00:28:26,792
there's probably a person
that does interviews, as well.

562
00:28:26,925 --> 00:28:28,415
I've got to let you know

563
00:28:30,050 --> 00:28:33,042
you're one of my kind, oh 

564
00:28:34,175 --> 00:28:37,497
Molly: And the winner is...
- INXS.

565
00:28:37,633 --> 00:28:39,373
- INXS.
- INXS.

566
00:28:39,508 --> 00:28:41,419
- INXS!
- INXS!

567
00:28:42,758 --> 00:28:43,758
Yo!

568
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,507
Support animal and human rights.

569
00:28:46,633 --> 00:28:47,668
And hello, mum.

570
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,166
there's something
about you, girl

571
00:28:51,633 --> 00:28:53,669
that makes me sweat, now

572
00:28:54,925 --> 00:28:57,541
"INXS is the first
non-American group

573
00:28:57,675 --> 00:29:01,793
"to land six consecutive
top ten hits in the hot 100

574
00:29:01,925 --> 00:29:05,417
"since culture club
in 1983/'84."

575
00:29:05,550 --> 00:29:07,040
Wow!

576
00:29:07,175 --> 00:29:09,040
I don't like the idea of goals,

577
00:29:09,175 --> 00:29:10,756
I don't like the idea
of success.

578
00:29:12,300 --> 00:29:13,540
It's very limiting.

579
00:29:13,675 --> 00:29:17,918
And as soon as you say you're
successful, then that's it,

580
00:29:18,050 --> 00:29:19,290
you might as well stop.

581
00:29:20,508 --> 00:29:21,873
Whatever success means.

582
00:29:22,008 --> 00:29:23,623
I'm not quite sure
what success means.

583
00:29:23,758 --> 00:29:25,168
Man: For the second year
in a row,

584
00:29:25,300 --> 00:29:27,006
the Australian
music industry recognises

585
00:29:27,133 --> 00:29:28,669
the outstanding achievement
of INXS.

586
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:29,915
Two weeks ago,

587
00:29:30,050 --> 00:29:32,010
they entered the us top five
with what you need...

588
00:29:32,050 --> 00:29:34,917
We all knew
the ground was shifting,

589
00:29:35,050 --> 00:29:36,165
so we could only imagine

590
00:29:36,300 --> 00:29:38,507
how intense it must have been
for Michael, as well.

591
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,542
Absolutely, he was overworked.

592
00:29:44,050 --> 00:29:46,541
The day was always filled.

593
00:29:48,133 --> 00:29:50,401
He would go on 20 interviews
a day, then have to do a show,

594
00:29:50,425 --> 00:29:52,040
then have to go
to the next city.

595
00:29:52,175 --> 00:29:54,166
And everyone wanted
a piece of him.

596
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:55,920
Need a cigarette after that.

597
00:30:01,050 --> 00:30:02,165
Touring...

598
00:30:03,133 --> 00:30:04,418
It's two hours a day...

599
00:30:05,425 --> 00:30:06,540
But...

600
00:30:07,425 --> 00:30:09,666
You know, they're the
two hours that I really enjoy.

601
00:30:10,383 --> 00:30:12,294
You've got 22 other hours a day

602
00:30:12,675 --> 00:30:14,506
that all kinds
of weird things happen.

603
00:30:15,133 --> 00:30:17,795
And the three months
out on the road mean nothing.

604
00:30:18,175 --> 00:30:19,790
It's only two hours a day
that matter.

605
00:30:20,258 --> 00:30:23,546
That's how I work.
That's why I'm here.

606
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,166
Michael was different.
He needed different things.

607
00:30:27,675 --> 00:30:29,882
He was a different animal.

608
00:30:30,175 --> 00:30:32,131
I'm not miserable about it
at all.

609
00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:35,042
I mean, I enjoy it. But um...

610
00:30:35,675 --> 00:30:38,872
It definitely started
to take its toll on him.

611
00:30:39,633 --> 00:30:42,295
The continual grind of INXS,

612
00:30:42,925 --> 00:30:44,540
well, I think it played on
all of them.

613
00:30:50,300 --> 00:30:52,416
Man: Anything to say
before the gig?

614
00:30:52,550 --> 00:30:54,632
No.
I'm just a bit tired, actually.

615
00:30:54,758 --> 00:30:56,498
I wouldn't mind going home
to sleep.

616
00:30:57,925 --> 00:30:59,540
It's a lot of hours.

617
00:31:13,425 --> 00:31:14,540
About another three months.

618
00:31:18,925 --> 00:31:20,756
They were
the hardest-working band

619
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:21,880
that I'd ever known.

620
00:31:22,175 --> 00:31:24,917
They needed to be treated with
a bit more respect, I thought.

621
00:31:26,133 --> 00:31:27,919
It was a whirlwind,
and he was the lead guy

622
00:31:28,050 --> 00:31:29,050
and a cover guy.

623
00:31:29,425 --> 00:31:31,040
This was a lot to take on.

624
00:31:31,633 --> 00:31:33,248
'Cause he was still a young man.

625
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,997
Michael: You have to really
take a step back from yourself

626
00:32:11,383 --> 00:32:13,624
and make it a hobby
to be normal or something.

627
00:32:13,675 --> 00:32:16,417
If you don't, you lose what
you started with, you know?

628
00:32:16,633 --> 00:32:18,169
It's as simple as that.

629
00:32:26,008 --> 00:32:28,670
At the grammys,
which were in New York,

630
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,506
being aired worldwide,

631
00:32:30,633 --> 00:32:33,921
Michael walked on stage
with his hair really short.

632
00:32:34,050 --> 00:32:35,915
Not the most attractive Michael.

633
00:32:46,300 --> 00:32:47,506
Michael: I got sick of myself.

634
00:32:47,633 --> 00:32:49,043
There was a lot of people
out there

635
00:32:49,133 --> 00:32:51,294
that sort of looked like me,
I think, or I looked like them,

636
00:32:51,300 --> 00:32:53,666
and I just didn't want
any part of it anymore.

637
00:32:55,300 --> 00:32:56,506
Michael came to me

638
00:32:56,550 --> 00:32:58,026
and he said,
"t wanna do a solo album.

639
00:32:58,050 --> 00:33:00,416
I said, "you can't. It's crazy.
You'll look like an idiot."

640
00:33:00,550 --> 00:33:02,541
There's very few solo acts
that sell through,

641
00:33:02,675 --> 00:33:04,415
and the fanbase
doesn't really follow you,

642
00:33:04,508 --> 00:33:06,248
because they see you
as a deserter,

643
00:33:06,383 --> 00:33:08,044
'cause they're into
the army concept.

644
00:33:08,175 --> 00:33:09,790
I said, "well, you can do it
without me.

645
00:33:09,925 --> 00:33:11,415
"I'm not gonna take part of it."

646
00:33:11,550 --> 00:33:14,041
Martha: Chris hated the idea.

647
00:33:14,175 --> 00:33:17,417
His view was, "you are going to
mess up everybody's career."

648
00:33:17,675 --> 00:33:19,916
I'm sitting in a bar

649
00:33:23,258 --> 00:33:27,547
staring at the universe
that's in my drink

650
00:33:27,675 --> 00:33:30,291
the motion of my straw

651
00:33:31,425 --> 00:33:35,794
is stirring anti-clockwise
in the glass 7

652
00:33:35,925 --> 00:33:37,916
Michael: I got together
some infamous musicians

653
00:33:38,050 --> 00:33:40,541
from Melbourne,
who were really good.

654
00:33:40,675 --> 00:33:42,040
Ji recall the moment

655
00:33:43,883 --> 00:33:47,046
Ollie Olsen and Gus till
were extremely talented,

656
00:33:47,175 --> 00:33:48,790
as everyone else was.

657
00:33:49,258 --> 00:33:50,668
It just kind of unfolded.

658
00:33:51,675 --> 00:33:54,417
It was an experiment
with all kinds of people.

659
00:33:56,300 --> 00:33:59,042
I've heard of a few of his
bands, I knew about his past

660
00:33:59,175 --> 00:34:02,497
and I knew that he was trying
to do something musically

661
00:34:02,675 --> 00:34:04,916
that I hadn't got anywhere
near, that's for sure.

662
00:34:05,050 --> 00:34:06,506
older and more stupid...

663
00:34:08,967 --> 00:34:13,711
the years have etched
stupidity into my skull

664
00:34:13,842 --> 00:34:15,582
I condemn my foolishness... and

665
00:34:15,717 --> 00:34:18,083
given at the point
he was with the pop group,

666
00:34:18,342 --> 00:34:21,334
I find it admirable that he
would want to take a detour

667
00:34:21,342 --> 00:34:25,085
and pursue something that had
much more of an art thrust.

668
00:34:26,175 --> 00:34:28,461
And that dichotomy
makes Michael more interesting

669
00:34:28,592 --> 00:34:31,083
than your average pop singer
of the time.

670
00:34:32,425 --> 00:34:34,040
Ollie was just one
of those rare folk

671
00:34:34,175 --> 00:34:37,463
who occasionally taps into
something genuinely original

672
00:34:37,592 --> 00:34:39,583
or brilliant or just stunning,

673
00:34:39,717 --> 00:34:41,332
and I think Michael saw that.

674
00:34:41,717 --> 00:34:44,424
idea of business at all

675
00:34:45,717 --> 00:34:47,958
Chris: There's an
emotional intensity

676
00:34:48,092 --> 00:34:50,458
that sometimes pop music
doesn't allow you.

677
00:34:50,592 --> 00:34:52,833
I think that's what
he was after,

678
00:34:52,967 --> 00:34:55,208
his own version of
a primal scream.

679
00:34:55,342 --> 00:34:57,958
One thing that must be said
about Michael,

680
00:34:58,092 --> 00:35:01,334
despite trying to put him into
some kind of sexy rock god,

681
00:35:01,467 --> 00:35:02,707
pop singer thing,

682
00:35:02,842 --> 00:35:04,924
he actually wanted to be
an artist

683
00:35:05,050 --> 00:35:08,292
and recognised
as being an artist.

684
00:35:08,425 --> 00:35:10,461
That was his achilles' heel,

685
00:35:10,592 --> 00:35:12,548
that he thought other people
were better artists,

686
00:35:12,675 --> 00:35:14,211
they got credit
for being artists,

687
00:35:14,342 --> 00:35:16,708
where he got credit for
being able to shake his arse

688
00:35:16,842 --> 00:35:18,207
and be like a sex god.

689
00:35:19,425 --> 00:35:21,461
Man: And now Max q.
Man 2: And now Max q.

690
00:35:23,967 --> 00:35:26,333
sometimes

691
00:35:39,342 --> 00:35:41,173
sometimes

692
00:35:45,342 --> 00:35:47,924
I can't believe my brain

693
00:35:48,050 --> 00:35:50,541
Martha: Chris flies in.
Chris goes,

694
00:35:50,675 --> 00:35:53,166
"look, I've got the greatest
marketing idea.

695
00:35:53,300 --> 00:35:56,667
"We are gonna pretend
it's not you.

696
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,167
"That way, this will never
hurt you, it won't hurt INXS."

697
00:36:00,300 --> 00:36:02,040
Brilliant man, Chris Murphy,

698
00:36:02,175 --> 00:36:03,540
and great marketing ideas,

699
00:36:03,675 --> 00:36:05,961
but this one was his worst.

700
00:36:10,550 --> 00:36:12,541
sometimes

701
00:36:13,550 --> 00:36:15,211
I go up and meet
with the record company

702
00:36:15,425 --> 00:36:17,916
and played some tracks, then
that guy rang Chris and said,

703
00:36:18,050 --> 00:36:19,915
"mate, Gary's playing
some of the Max q stuff.

704
00:36:20,092 --> 00:36:21,332
"T love it."

705
00:36:21,467 --> 00:36:23,423
Chris's reaction was,
"how dare you do that!

706
00:36:23,550 --> 00:36:25,666
"You have nothing to do with
Max q."

707
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,836
when the power
strikes you blind

708
00:36:27,967 --> 00:36:29,832
they can see it in your eyes

709
00:36:29,967 --> 00:36:31,548
and it doesn't take too much
to read

710
00:36:31,675 --> 00:36:33,211
too much to read your mind

711
00:36:33,342 --> 00:36:34,673
I kept getting calls,

712
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,210
"how's it doing?
How's it doing?"

713
00:36:36,342 --> 00:36:37,422
"How's what doing?"

714
00:36:37,550 --> 00:36:38,710
How am I working something

715
00:36:38,842 --> 00:36:41,083
that we're not
supposed to use Michael?

716
00:36:41,217 --> 00:36:42,423
So ridiculous!

717
00:36:42,550 --> 00:36:43,790
sometimes

718
00:36:45,425 --> 00:36:48,292
Martha: That's when Michael
lost his feeling

719
00:36:48,425 --> 00:36:50,541
for this person
he loved very much.

720
00:36:50,675 --> 00:36:52,916
He just felt like,
"how could you not see

721
00:36:53,050 --> 00:36:54,961
"that I need to do
other things?"

722
00:36:55,092 --> 00:36:56,548
That pretty much ended

723
00:36:56,675 --> 00:36:58,836
their friendship
and their relationship.

724
00:37:00,175 --> 00:37:01,210
I think it confused him,

725
00:37:01,342 --> 00:37:03,708
whether he wanted to be part
of INXS

726
00:37:03,842 --> 00:37:05,833
and whether he wanted to take on

727
00:37:05,967 --> 00:37:08,299
all the pressures of being
Michael hutchence.

728
00:37:08,425 --> 00:37:09,710
..On yourself

729
00:37:09,842 --> 00:37:11,707
on yourself

730
00:37:12,967 --> 00:37:14,332
Michael: Why did I do that?

731
00:37:14,467 --> 00:37:16,708
I did that
in a perverse reaction

732
00:37:16,842 --> 00:37:19,584
to what had happened
to the band and to me.

733
00:37:19,717 --> 00:37:21,582
And I had a hell of a time.

734
00:37:21,717 --> 00:37:23,526
Except I forgot to tell the
band I was gonna do it.

735
00:37:23,550 --> 00:37:25,211
I'll never forget Andrew
calling, going,

736
00:37:25,342 --> 00:37:27,151
"I just saw you on television
in your new band.

737
00:37:27,175 --> 00:37:28,335
"What's it called?"

738
00:37:28,467 --> 00:37:29,798
"Oh, Max q." "Ar."

739
00:37:31,592 --> 00:37:34,208
Man: Are you the captain
of the INXS ship, as well?

740
00:37:34,342 --> 00:37:35,582
No, I'm not.

741
00:37:35,717 --> 00:37:37,708
I'm just a part of
a collective group of people.

742
00:37:37,842 --> 00:37:39,457
I'm the mutineer,
and I take over.

743
00:37:39,592 --> 00:37:41,708
He's in charge of mutiny.

744
00:37:42,842 --> 00:37:43,842
riding in a boat

745
00:37:44,967 --> 00:37:46,207
in Amsterdam city

746
00:37:47,342 --> 00:37:48,342
looking pretty good

747
00:37:48,467 --> 00:37:52,289
how many songs on the new album
are about sex?

748
00:37:52,425 --> 00:37:53,585
Um...

749
00:37:53,717 --> 00:37:54,832
Uh...

750
00:37:54,967 --> 00:37:57,674
Well, probably most of them,
one way or another.

751
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,963
Nick cave and Kylie Minogue:
Where the wild roses grow

752
00:38:06,967 --> 00:38:11,961
they call me the wild Rose

753
00:38:14,092 --> 00:38:17,789
but my name was Elisa day

754
00:38:18,842 --> 00:38:23,962
 Why they call me that,
I do not know

755
00:38:25,925 --> 00:38:29,668
 For my name was Elisa day

756
00:38:30,842 --> 00:38:31,957
Michael: Kylie...

757
00:38:33,550 --> 00:38:34,665
Kylie.

758
00:38:37,467 --> 00:38:39,207
on the first day I saw her...

759
00:38:39,717 --> 00:38:43,835
I went to see INXS
play a gig in Sydney.

760
00:38:43,967 --> 00:38:46,208
We were invited back
to the hotel.

761
00:38:46,342 --> 00:38:48,082
That's where
I first spoke to Michael,

762
00:38:48,217 --> 00:38:50,208
in his hotel room after a gig.

763
00:38:50,425 --> 00:38:51,460
This one point,

764
00:38:51,550 --> 00:38:53,336
he and I were sat
on the edge of the bed,

765
00:38:53,467 --> 00:38:56,959
talking about something
to help you with your vocals

766
00:38:57,092 --> 00:38:59,799
if you run into trouble
as a performer.

767
00:38:59,925 --> 00:39:02,541
He was telling me about
these kind of magical drops

768
00:39:02,675 --> 00:39:04,415
for your throat.

769
00:39:04,550 --> 00:39:07,041
That was our, kind of,
first bond.

770
00:39:08,217 --> 00:39:11,209
I was going to Hong Kong
shortly after that,

771
00:39:11,342 --> 00:39:13,708
and he asked if he could take
me to dinner in Hong Kong

772
00:39:13,842 --> 00:39:15,457
and give me the magic potion,

773
00:39:15,592 --> 00:39:17,799
which now, I think,
was pretty much a ruse.

774
00:39:19,217 --> 00:39:23,916
So, I'm in Hong Kong
with my manager, my mother,

775
00:39:24,050 --> 00:39:26,086
my hairdresser

776
00:39:26,217 --> 00:39:29,414
and about six dancers.

777
00:39:29,550 --> 00:39:32,417
The clock ticks,
the time passes.

778
00:39:33,592 --> 00:39:34,923
There's no sign of him,

779
00:39:35,050 --> 00:39:38,463
and my team are just getting
really riled about this.

780
00:39:39,717 --> 00:39:42,424
Eventually, he rocks up,
two hours late.

781
00:39:45,050 --> 00:39:47,086
So, we do go out,
he takes me out,

782
00:39:47,217 --> 00:39:50,334
and clearly there was something
between us, a frisson.

783
00:39:51,592 --> 00:39:56,165
and I said, "do you know
where the wild roses grow

784
00:39:56,300 --> 00:40:01,215
"so sweet and Scarlet
and free?"

785
00:40:01,342 --> 00:40:03,549
Kylie: I don't know how long
it was after Hong Kong,

786
00:40:03,675 --> 00:40:07,543
but he asked if it would be ok
if he could fly to Kyoto

787
00:40:07,675 --> 00:40:09,415
to see me.

788
00:40:09,550 --> 00:40:11,086
He flew over, we were free,

789
00:40:11,217 --> 00:40:13,959
no-one really recognised
either of us.

790
00:40:14,092 --> 00:40:16,458
Our relationship
was solidified there.

791
00:40:17,717 --> 00:40:18,923
Yeah, it was...

792
00:40:19,050 --> 00:40:20,415
We-we became...

793
00:40:20,842 --> 00:40:21,957
We became a couple.

794
00:40:22,967 --> 00:40:28,087
they call me the wild Rose

795
00:40:29,925 --> 00:40:34,214
Kylie: Sex, love, food, drugs,
music, travel, books,

796
00:40:34,342 --> 00:40:36,549
you name it,
he wanted to experience it.

797
00:40:36,675 --> 00:40:37,960
So, as his partner,

798
00:40:38,092 --> 00:40:39,832
I got to experience
a lot of that, as well.

799
00:40:41,092 --> 00:40:43,583
I felt very safe with him,
I felt protected.

800
00:40:46,217 --> 00:40:48,208
Man: Ok, ok.

801
00:40:48,342 --> 00:40:52,415
We are now on the
orient express on June 26th.

802
00:40:52,550 --> 00:40:54,791
This is an American couple

803
00:40:54,925 --> 00:40:57,086
filming this young
Australian couple,

804
00:40:57,217 --> 00:41:00,084
who are here to have
a great time.

805
00:41:00,217 --> 00:41:01,297
You're on the air!

806
00:41:02,675 --> 00:41:03,790
Michael?

807
00:41:05,467 --> 00:41:06,673
Woman: Aw!

808
00:41:07,925 --> 00:41:09,461
Kyle's really not the person

809
00:41:09,592 --> 00:41:10,592
that people think she is.

810
00:41:10,717 --> 00:41:13,675
Because we can understand
each other's experience,

811
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,210
how much it takes,
the pressures,

812
00:41:15,342 --> 00:41:17,583
all that sort of thing,
there's a lot of equality,

813
00:41:17,717 --> 00:41:20,208
a lot of strength, a lot of
support for each other,

814
00:41:20,342 --> 00:41:23,084
'cause you're both going
through that sort of stuff.

815
00:41:23,217 --> 00:41:25,458
Kylie's got this real sweet,
innocent image,

816
00:41:25,592 --> 00:41:27,298
what the hell is she doing
with me?

817
00:41:27,425 --> 00:41:28,540
And vice-versa.

818
00:41:28,675 --> 00:41:29,835
Oh...

819
00:41:30,925 --> 00:41:32,335
- Cut!
- Cut!

820
00:41:32,467 --> 00:41:34,207
The storybook of this

821
00:41:34,342 --> 00:41:36,333
is that he's, like,
the dark, bad boy

822
00:41:36,467 --> 00:41:38,549
and I was the pure, good girl.

823
00:41:38,675 --> 00:41:41,337
And that was pretty much
the truth.

824
00:41:44,842 --> 00:41:45,957
Michael: Got one?

825
00:41:46,092 --> 00:41:48,048
Kylie: If you're
a sensual being,

826
00:41:48,175 --> 00:41:49,961
all of your senses
need stimulation.

827
00:41:50,092 --> 00:41:53,914
He definitely awakened my desire

828
00:41:54,050 --> 00:41:55,540
for other things in my world.

829
00:41:55,675 --> 00:41:59,293
He loved seeing me experiencing
a new wine,

830
00:41:59,425 --> 00:42:02,087
or me learning about
a new pleasure.

831
00:42:02,217 --> 00:42:04,708
A lot of it was based
around pleasure, let's face it.

832
00:42:04,842 --> 00:42:05,922
Michael: Kylie...

833
00:42:07,675 --> 00:42:08,790
Kylie.

834
00:42:20,967 --> 00:42:22,582
Kylie: We went on
the orient express,

835
00:42:22,717 --> 00:42:24,457
went to see the statue of David.

836
00:42:24,592 --> 00:42:25,707
You know, I'm crying.

837
00:42:25,842 --> 00:42:28,834
I'm like, "this didn't happen
on my school excursion,

838
00:42:28,967 --> 00:42:30,207
"why is it happening with you?"

839
00:42:33,550 --> 00:42:35,791
Kylie: One of the first ways
I would describe Michael

840
00:42:35,925 --> 00:42:37,586
is insatiable curiosity.

841
00:42:38,675 --> 00:42:41,792
All the good things in life and
some of the bad things in life.

842
00:42:41,925 --> 00:42:44,211
It opened up a whole new world
for me.

843
00:42:44,342 --> 00:42:45,457
It really did.

844
00:42:49,217 --> 00:42:51,458
Then the problem
was just scheduling,

845
00:42:51,592 --> 00:42:53,583
finding the time
to see each other.

846
00:42:53,717 --> 00:42:55,833
Michael: Got our managers
with the computers out,

847
00:42:55,967 --> 00:42:57,582
trying to align our lives

848
00:42:57,717 --> 00:42:59,332
so that we're not on tour
and stuff

849
00:42:59,467 --> 00:43:01,187
at different ends of the world
all the time.

850
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,711
Kylie: A lot of
our relationship was faxing

851
00:43:26,842 --> 00:43:28,207
from one hotel to another hotel.

852
00:43:29,592 --> 00:43:31,674
Kylie: The fax was
the current technology

853
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:32,960
to send a personal message,

854
00:43:33,092 --> 00:43:35,333
and, of course, that had to
go through reception,

855
00:43:35,467 --> 00:43:37,507
be printed, put in an envelope,
put under your door.

856
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,400
You couldn't write anything
too personal.

857
00:43:43,550 --> 00:43:46,462
It was very exciting to see
that envelope and open it

858
00:43:46,592 --> 00:43:47,957
and see what's
the message today,

859
00:43:48,092 --> 00:43:50,174
and to see his handwriting
and what he would write.

860
00:43:52,092 --> 00:43:54,333
They were our 1990s love notes.

861
00:43:56,842 --> 00:43:58,582
Very cute.

862
00:44:00,092 --> 00:44:03,164
Jones is my mother's maiden
name and Gabby was our dog!

863
00:44:05,342 --> 00:44:06,673
And his was swordfish.

864
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,540
I don't know why. Swordfish!

865
00:44:10,300 --> 00:44:12,461
Not the best speller,
I have to say.

866
00:44:22,092 --> 00:44:23,207
I'll film you.

867
00:44:24,592 --> 00:44:25,957
It's still on.

868
00:44:28,342 --> 00:44:30,458
Movie star! Kylie: Oh!

869
00:44:30,592 --> 00:44:33,459
- Movie star in Italy!
Kylie: In Italy!

870
00:44:33,675 --> 00:44:36,041
Kylie: I just think, for me,
we met at the perfect time,

871
00:44:36,175 --> 00:44:39,338
because I was old enough
to take care of myself,

872
00:44:39,467 --> 00:44:42,834
but young enough to just
see and feel and experience

873
00:44:42,967 --> 00:44:44,173
all this new stuff.

874
00:44:44,300 --> 00:44:46,586
Man: Isn't it beautiful?
Michael: It's fantastic.

875
00:45:04,592 --> 00:45:07,550
Kylie: He gave me a book,
which I loved,

876
00:45:07,675 --> 00:45:09,586
which was perfume:
The story of a murderer.

877
00:45:09,717 --> 00:45:12,675
And he gave it to me when we
were in the south of France..

878
00:45:15,717 --> 00:45:16,832
Black cherries.

879
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:21,835
Michael: Got one?

880
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:24,800
Michael: There we go.

881
00:45:24,925 --> 00:45:26,836
A cherry tree.

882
00:45:26,967 --> 00:45:28,207
Both: Mmm!

883
00:45:28,342 --> 00:45:30,958
- Aren't they lovely?
- They're great!

884
00:45:31,092 --> 00:45:32,707
Wow! They're divine!

885
00:45:33,925 --> 00:45:35,711
Kylie: That was
a really poignant book

886
00:45:35,842 --> 00:45:36,957
to give me at the time,

887
00:45:37,092 --> 00:45:39,708
'cause it was about
discovery and obsession,

888
00:45:39,842 --> 00:45:41,833
addiction and the senses.

889
00:45:45,342 --> 00:45:47,458
One night, like,
four in the morning,

890
00:45:47,592 --> 00:45:49,457
he rousted me out of bed.

891
00:45:50,092 --> 00:45:54,165
He wanted to show us this area
that was from the book perfume.

892
00:45:56,592 --> 00:45:58,082
He smells everything so acutely

893
00:45:58,092 --> 00:45:59,832
and unbelievably well.

894
00:46:00,467 --> 00:46:03,789
He spends 20 years of his life
smelling everything.

895
00:46:04,675 --> 00:46:06,165
But he has no smell of his own.

896
00:46:07,092 --> 00:46:09,799
He says, "well, I'll make my
own smell. Make a human smell."

897
00:46:10,967 --> 00:46:12,173
But it's not good enough.

898
00:46:12,717 --> 00:46:14,958
And then one day,
he smells a smell,

899
00:46:15,175 --> 00:46:16,836
it smells like peaches.

900
00:46:17,217 --> 00:46:19,333
He follows this smell
across the left bank,

901
00:46:19,342 --> 00:46:20,707
onto the right bank in Paris.

902
00:46:21,467 --> 00:46:23,082
He comes to a window...

903
00:46:23,717 --> 00:46:26,424
There's a young virgin girl
eating peaches.

904
00:46:27,550 --> 00:46:29,586
He has never seen anything
like her.

905
00:46:29,842 --> 00:46:33,084
He's never known
about a woman or a girl.

906
00:46:33,592 --> 00:46:36,334
He makes 20 perfumes
out of 20 virgins.

907
00:46:36,967 --> 00:46:39,925
Until he's the most notorious
murderer in the world.

908
00:46:40,717 --> 00:46:43,299
He escapes to these mountains.

909
00:46:44,717 --> 00:46:46,082
These mountains here.

910
00:46:46,842 --> 00:46:48,548
This is where they grow
all the flowers

911
00:46:48,592 --> 00:46:49,923
for all the perfume
in the world.

912
00:46:50,050 --> 00:46:51,540
Here. Right here.

913
00:46:51,967 --> 00:46:54,208
Like my house,
the lavender I showed you,

914
00:46:54,300 --> 00:46:55,335
all around here.

915
00:46:56,717 --> 00:46:59,584
He is the greatest perfumer
in all of the world.

916
00:47:00,717 --> 00:47:03,174
Eventually he says,
"I'll go back to Paris

917
00:47:03,217 --> 00:47:04,332
"and I'll say I'm sorry."

918
00:47:05,467 --> 00:47:06,547
And he comes back,

919
00:47:07,175 --> 00:47:08,460
and they catch him.

920
00:47:09,342 --> 00:47:11,207
All of Paris goes insane!

921
00:47:11,717 --> 00:47:13,423
They're gonna behead him.

922
00:47:14,300 --> 00:47:17,588
He says, "I have one last wish.
Give me my bag

923
00:47:17,592 --> 00:47:18,832
"give me my bag!”

924
00:47:19,550 --> 00:47:22,963
And he put all the perfumes
into one,

925
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,836
and he goes, "pssh!”

926
00:47:26,175 --> 00:47:28,336
Perfume comes out across Paris.

927
00:47:29,217 --> 00:47:32,084
The whole city
turns into an orgy.

928
00:47:34,967 --> 00:47:36,082
They tear him apart!

929
00:47:41,925 --> 00:47:43,085
Man: Kylie!

930
00:47:44,842 --> 00:47:46,423
Man: Kylie!

931
00:47:46,550 --> 00:47:49,587
Michael: I've never come across
paparazzi like that,

932
00:47:49,717 --> 00:47:51,582
which is a bit of a shock.

933
00:47:51,717 --> 00:47:53,582
Being in so much limelight,

934
00:47:53,717 --> 00:47:55,833
it doesn't let you
naturally evolve.

935
00:47:58,967 --> 00:48:00,707
Woman: How do you think

936
00:48:00,842 --> 00:48:02,548
about following up
something like kick?

937
00:48:03,675 --> 00:48:05,711
You try not to.

938
00:48:07,217 --> 00:48:10,209
Michael: The leaps we'd made
in such a short period of time

939
00:48:10,342 --> 00:48:12,082
were pretty substantial.

940
00:48:12,217 --> 00:48:14,583
So, we felt like we had to make
another one.

941
00:48:15,925 --> 00:48:17,711
I think we got a little lost
in there.

942
00:48:17,842 --> 00:48:18,922
I guess, in some ways,

943
00:48:19,050 --> 00:48:21,462
you start believing that
you're capable of anything.

944
00:48:21,592 --> 00:48:23,924
But all you're capable of doing
is being true to yourself,

945
00:48:24,050 --> 00:48:25,085
if possible.

946
00:48:26,467 --> 00:48:28,048
Because of his creativity,

947
00:48:28,175 --> 00:48:30,587
I think he was scared
of repeating himself,

948
00:48:30,717 --> 00:48:31,832
which is the reason

949
00:48:31,967 --> 00:48:35,209
why he started to do
a bit of writing with jonny.

950
00:48:35,342 --> 00:48:37,583
Jonny played me this demo

951
00:48:37,717 --> 00:48:40,037
and Michael started singing
the bits of words he'd written.

952
00:48:40,092 --> 00:48:42,799
Came to the bit where he starts
going, "doo-doo, doo-doo.

953
00:48:42,925 --> 00:48:45,068
"De-de-de... I haven't written
the words for that bit."

954
00:48:45,092 --> 00:48:46,923
I said, "you have.
You just sing that!"

955
00:48:47,050 --> 00:48:48,210
doo-doo-doo

956
00:48:48,342 --> 00:48:49,582
doo, doo-doo

957
00:48:49,717 --> 00:48:51,548
doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

958
00:48:51,675 --> 00:48:53,211
doo-doo-doo-doo

959
00:48:53,425 --> 00:48:55,416
doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo

960
00:48:55,550 --> 00:48:57,336
doo-doo-doo

961
00:48:57,467 --> 00:49:00,459
Chris: There was a very, very
unpleasant face-off

962
00:49:00,592 --> 00:49:02,958
between Andrew and Michael.

963
00:49:03,092 --> 00:49:04,207
Andrew and Chris Murphy

964
00:49:04,342 --> 00:49:06,333
didn't wanna have disappear
on the record,

965
00:49:06,467 --> 00:49:09,083
because Andrew
hadn't written it.

966
00:49:09,217 --> 00:49:10,332
It was very nasty.

967
00:49:10,467 --> 00:49:12,082
Michael didn't really
answer back.

968
00:49:14,217 --> 00:49:16,833
Somehow we managed to force it
onto the record,

969
00:49:16,967 --> 00:49:18,443
and, of course,
it was the biggest single

970
00:49:18,467 --> 00:49:20,027
that they had in America
off that album.

971
00:49:20,967 --> 00:49:22,207
you're so fine

972
00:49:22,342 --> 00:49:24,048
I lose my mind

973
00:49:24,842 --> 00:49:28,039
and the world
seems to disappear

974
00:49:28,342 --> 00:49:30,458
all the problems

975
00:49:30,717 --> 00:49:31,957
all those fears

976
00:49:32,425 --> 00:49:35,963
and the world
seems to disappear

977
00:49:37,467 --> 00:49:38,547
through it all,

978
00:49:38,675 --> 00:49:41,917
he really had a sense
of what was good and proper.

979
00:49:42,050 --> 00:49:44,962
I know he never would've wanted
to hurt anyone.

980
00:49:45,092 --> 00:49:46,207
He did end up hurting me,

981
00:49:46,342 --> 00:49:48,207
but he wouldn't have enjoyed it
one bit.

982
00:49:49,717 --> 00:49:50,832
Ok, ready?

983
00:49:50,967 --> 00:49:52,673
One, two, three.

984
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,667
All: Kylie says hello
to Michael!

985
00:49:57,842 --> 00:50:00,049
I'm gonna make
a schoolteacher yet!

986
00:50:00,175 --> 00:50:01,961
Message to Michael video.
Say hi.

987
00:50:02,092 --> 00:50:03,207
- Hi.
- Hi

988
00:50:03,342 --> 00:50:04,457
this is a video to Michael.

989
00:50:04,592 --> 00:50:06,048
- Is it?
- Yeah.

990
00:50:06,175 --> 00:50:08,541
- Hi, Michael.
- Hi, Michael!

991
00:50:08,675 --> 00:50:09,915
All: Hi, Michael!

992
00:50:10,050 --> 00:50:12,086
- Mum and Yvonne.
- Hil

993
00:50:12,217 --> 00:50:14,583
Kylie: I was in Japan again,

994
00:50:14,717 --> 00:50:17,049
and things were not going well.

995
00:50:18,217 --> 00:50:22,085
This trip that I had to do
to get to him in New York

996
00:50:22,217 --> 00:50:24,708
was ridiculous on
an already ridiculous schedule.

997
00:50:26,300 --> 00:50:29,588
He picked me up at the airport
in New York in a limousine,

998
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:31,210
met me at the gate.

999
00:50:31,675 --> 00:50:36,089
It felt loving, yet sad,
and probably doomed.

1000
00:50:36,842 --> 00:50:38,332
We talked through things,

1001
00:50:38,467 --> 00:50:40,833
and I couldn't give you
an actual reason.

1002
00:50:41,842 --> 00:50:44,208
But the room was dark,
the curtains were drawn,

1003
00:50:48,217 --> 00:50:50,537
I didn't know what to do, I
didn't know what was happening.

1004
00:50:50,592 --> 00:50:52,457
Like, "where have you gone?"

1005
00:50:52,592 --> 00:50:55,834
I don't know if that was
associated with any guilt

1006
00:50:55,967 --> 00:50:57,423
of having to break my heart

1007
00:50:57,550 --> 00:50:59,836
and know what I would
go through after that.

1008
00:50:59,967 --> 00:51:01,423
Was it work? Was it drugs?

1009
00:51:01,550 --> 00:51:02,710
I don't know.

1010
00:51:04,842 --> 00:51:06,582
I just know he was like
a broken man.

1011
00:51:06,717 --> 00:51:09,049
I'd never seen any man
like that before.

1012
00:51:09,175 --> 00:51:11,712
It was like he was
cocooning himself into this...

1013
00:51:11,842 --> 00:51:13,482
Like, you know,
rolled in a ball in there.

1014
00:51:14,050 --> 00:51:15,210
It was...

1015
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:17,835
Yeah.

1016
00:51:18,967 --> 00:51:22,334
So, I left pretty confounded
and destroyed,

1017
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,792
and I knew that was it.

1018
00:51:25,925 --> 00:51:26,960
Yeah, he broke my heart.

1019
00:51:28,175 --> 00:51:31,963
I have to confess, the hurt
stays for quite a long time.

1020
00:51:32,092 --> 00:51:34,208
Whispers: 'Cause I can't stop thinking
about you.

1021
00:51:38,092 --> 00:51:40,208
Kylie: I think I realised
in that time

1022
00:51:40,342 --> 00:51:44,335
that this was beyond me,
it was a bigger story.

1023
00:51:51,342 --> 00:51:53,708
Michael: Sometimes,
no matter how much love

1024
00:51:53,842 --> 00:51:55,423
two people can have
for each other,

1025
00:51:55,550 --> 00:51:56,960
it doesn't always
make things right

1026
00:51:57,092 --> 00:51:59,068
and it's not always
the right thing to be together.

1027
00:51:59,092 --> 00:52:00,832
It could be the worst thing
they can do.

1028
00:52:20,092 --> 00:52:21,582
My mother was very aware

1029
00:52:21,717 --> 00:52:23,673
that when she walked
into a room,

1030
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,462
all eyes would go toward her.

1031
00:52:26,592 --> 00:52:27,832
Through her whole life.

1032
00:52:32,175 --> 00:52:35,963
My mother had been
a very successful model.

1033
00:52:38,342 --> 00:52:41,049
They really didn't have makeup
artists around at that time,

1034
00:52:41,175 --> 00:52:42,460
so she started to learn.

1035
00:52:45,092 --> 00:52:47,583
My mother's mother raised me
till I was 11,

1036
00:52:47,842 --> 00:52:49,423
I don't remember my dad.

1037
00:52:50,967 --> 00:52:52,673
Kell was so charming.

1038
00:52:52,717 --> 00:52:56,835
He really did have that
David niven look about him.

1039
00:52:57,217 --> 00:52:59,082
They were married
within a month.

1040
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,462
They were very much
the couple about town,

1041
00:53:03,592 --> 00:53:05,799
going to lots of dinner parties,

1042
00:53:05,842 --> 00:53:07,924
very glamorous, a lot of models,

1043
00:53:08,050 --> 00:53:10,166
lots of very attractive friends.

1044
00:53:11,675 --> 00:53:13,586
I didn't go to live with her

1045
00:53:13,842 --> 00:53:16,914
until she was six-months
pregnant with Michael.

1046
00:53:26,592 --> 00:53:29,959
It was quite a volatile
marriage from the start.

1047
00:53:30,300 --> 00:53:32,712
Mother and kell
had this lifestyle,

1048
00:53:32,925 --> 00:53:34,586
but they had this baby.

1049
00:53:35,467 --> 00:53:38,584
They were both used to
being single.

1050
00:53:38,717 --> 00:53:41,459
My mother was not
really prepared

1051
00:53:41,592 --> 00:53:44,550
for this little baby that would
take up so much time

1052
00:53:44,675 --> 00:53:46,415
and change her life so much.

1053
00:53:46,550 --> 00:53:47,960
And neither was kell.

1054
00:53:49,342 --> 00:53:51,958
His job
always took him overseas,

1055
00:53:52,092 --> 00:53:54,549
from two weeks to two months.

1056
00:53:54,675 --> 00:53:56,336
Mother had 12, 14-hour days.

1057
00:53:57,467 --> 00:54:00,209
I don't think
they had thought it through.

1058
00:54:01,175 --> 00:54:02,961
They just left him with me.

1059
00:54:03,675 --> 00:54:06,587
And it was for longer
and longer periods of time.

1060
00:54:07,675 --> 00:54:09,336
I was a good babysitter.

1061
00:54:12,092 --> 00:54:14,083
My mother would be working
on a commercial,

1062
00:54:14,300 --> 00:54:15,710
I'd come home from school,

1063
00:54:15,967 --> 00:54:18,583
the babysitter would hand
Michael to me.

1064
00:54:19,092 --> 00:54:20,832
It was us.

1065
00:54:22,717 --> 00:54:24,833
I would just love
in the mornings

1066
00:54:25,050 --> 00:54:27,587
if I could be the first one
into the nursery,

1067
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,917
and Michael would be
standing up in his cot.

1068
00:54:32,550 --> 00:54:34,086
He was a very smiley baby.

1069
00:54:34,217 --> 00:54:36,458
Very, very happy,
easy-going baby.

1070
00:54:36,592 --> 00:54:38,457
He was mine.

1071
00:54:40,300 --> 00:54:41,961
Michael was about two-and-a-half

1072
00:54:42,050 --> 00:54:43,210
when Rhett arrived.

1073
00:54:44,217 --> 00:54:45,957
That was much harder.

1074
00:54:46,842 --> 00:54:48,332
Michael was a pleaser.

1075
00:54:48,467 --> 00:54:50,549
You really didn't hear, "no,"
from him.

1076
00:54:50,675 --> 00:54:53,337
Where Rhett,
his first word was 'no'.

1077
00:54:54,592 --> 00:54:58,164
It was so obvious that
Michael was the chosen one.

1078
00:54:58,300 --> 00:54:59,540
Rhett felt it.

1079
00:54:59,675 --> 00:55:02,212
You knew
that this child was feeling it.

1080
00:55:02,342 --> 00:55:04,549
He was a really angry kid.

1081
00:55:07,925 --> 00:55:09,961
Woman: Why didn't you take
singing lessons?

1082
00:55:19,342 --> 00:55:21,298
I was 12, Michael was about 14.

1083
00:55:21,425 --> 00:55:23,711
We both got off the bus,
walking home,

1084
00:55:23,842 --> 00:55:26,675
there was a car in the driveway
that I hadn't seen before.

1085
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:28,651
And I got to the house,
opened up the front door

1086
00:55:28,675 --> 00:55:30,776
and I noticed that some
of the stuff in the living room

1087
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:31,835
was all packed up.

1088
00:55:31,967 --> 00:55:34,583
Mum came down, she literally
had two airplane tickets

1089
00:55:34,717 --> 00:55:35,923
flapping in her hand.

1090
00:55:36,050 --> 00:55:38,291
There was a little old lady
standing behind her.

1091
00:55:38,425 --> 00:55:40,425
Mum said to Michael,
"I want you to pack your bag,"

1092
00:55:40,467 --> 00:55:42,048
and there was a suitcase
on his bed.

1093
00:55:42,175 --> 00:55:45,588
Mum explained to me that
they were going to America.

1094
00:55:45,717 --> 00:55:46,923
I had to go to the airport

1095
00:55:47,050 --> 00:55:49,666
and I was screaming and crying,
"please take me with you."

1096
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,587
Michael just wanted to get away
from the scene, the screaming.

1097
00:55:53,092 --> 00:55:54,332
It was just too much.

1098
00:55:54,717 --> 00:55:57,789
And so he dragged mum through
immigration and off they went.

1099
00:55:57,925 --> 00:55:59,790
She took Michael away
for a year-and-a-half

1100
00:55:59,925 --> 00:56:01,665
and left me with this
dial-an-angel lady.

1101
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:03,290
Come on, everybody.

1102
00:56:05,342 --> 00:56:06,832
Rhett! Rhett!

1103
00:56:06,967 --> 00:56:08,173
Man: It's a family shot.

1104
00:56:11,050 --> 00:56:12,210
I had a phone call.

1105
00:56:12,342 --> 00:56:15,584
It was the middle of the night,
and it was kell.

1106
00:56:15,717 --> 00:56:17,173
He was sobbing.

1107
00:56:17,592 --> 00:56:19,674
"She's left
and she's taken my Michael."

1108
00:56:21,300 --> 00:56:22,790
My dad was shell-shocked.

1109
00:56:23,175 --> 00:56:24,915
He had no idea this was coming,
at all.

1110
00:56:28,717 --> 00:56:30,332
Tina: Rhett was at the airport.

1111
00:56:30,467 --> 00:56:32,708
That's the terrible,
heart-wrenching thing.

1112
00:56:36,092 --> 00:56:39,459
Michael knew for
three months, at least, before...

1113
00:56:39,592 --> 00:56:43,210
I asked him if we should do it,
if he'd like to come with me.

1114
00:56:43,342 --> 00:56:44,457
And he said, "yes."

1115
00:56:44,592 --> 00:56:46,708
He kept it a secret, as I did.

1116
00:56:47,842 --> 00:56:50,083
Michael knew that he was going.

1117
00:57:02,342 --> 00:57:04,708
I heard it from him
so many times,

1118
00:57:04,842 --> 00:57:08,585
he will never forget leaving
his brother Rhett behind.

1119
00:57:08,842 --> 00:57:10,332
It just tore him apart.

1120
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:15,088
He felt like he didn't deserve
the success.

1121
00:57:15,550 --> 00:57:16,665
He felt guilt.

1122
00:57:47,342 --> 00:57:49,833
When they finally came
back a year-and-a-half later,

1123
00:57:49,842 --> 00:57:52,709
Mike was a lot bigger, a lot
smarter, dressed differently,

1124
00:57:52,925 --> 00:57:55,041
and he had a sense of self
for the first time.

1125
00:58:06,592 --> 00:58:08,457
I didn't have any direction
in life

1126
00:58:08,592 --> 00:58:10,708
of what I wanted to be
or where I wanted to go.

1127
00:58:10,842 --> 00:58:12,818
He let me go for a long time
doing what I was doing,

1128
00:58:12,842 --> 00:58:15,208
because no matter what love
he'd put in,

1129
00:58:15,342 --> 00:58:17,583
it wasn't manifesting
in my stopping.

1130
00:58:17,717 --> 00:58:19,717
Of course, he didn't wanna
have to identify my body

1131
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:20,835
in @a morgue one day,

1132
00:58:20,967 --> 00:58:22,847
he just wanted me to be doing
the normal things.

1133
00:58:23,842 --> 00:58:25,442
I think he felt
that he needed to step in

1134
00:58:25,550 --> 00:58:28,087
and point me
in the right direction.

1135
00:58:28,217 --> 00:58:29,548
There was one point in my life

1136
00:58:29,675 --> 00:58:31,336
where he gave me
a hard love thing.

1137
00:58:33,092 --> 00:58:34,832
I went to rehab in '92.

1138
00:58:36,050 --> 00:58:37,085
After the rehab,

1139
00:58:37,217 --> 00:58:39,026
I think he saw that I was
trying to make a change

1140
00:58:39,050 --> 00:58:40,730
and he brought me
back into his life again.

1141
00:58:41,925 --> 00:58:43,335
He always thought
I had potential.

1142
00:58:43,467 --> 00:58:46,049
He always told me I could do
whatever I wanted.

1143
00:58:46,842 --> 00:58:48,457
Some people are like this,

1144
00:58:48,717 --> 00:58:50,708
and all of us are like it
at one time or another.

1145
00:58:50,842 --> 00:58:53,800
People use something
to take care of that,

1146
00:58:54,342 --> 00:58:55,957
to kill the pain.

1147
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,587
Michael: Love? Mm!

1148
00:59:06,967 --> 00:59:09,583
Love is a many splendid thing...

1149
00:59:14,967 --> 00:59:17,458
It was around 3:00am,
I was sleeping,

1150
00:59:17,842 --> 00:59:19,207
and the phone rang.

1151
00:59:19,550 --> 00:59:20,835
It was herb.

1152
00:59:20,967 --> 00:59:22,958
We had just done
the Chris isaak video.

1153
00:59:23,217 --> 00:59:25,048
He goes, "hey, Helena!

1154
00:59:25,300 --> 00:59:27,211
"No, I'm just here
with a friend of mine.

1155
00:59:27,342 --> 00:59:29,708
"You should talk to this guy.
His name is Michael."

1156
00:59:29,842 --> 00:59:32,458
Helena: Is that a joint?
Michael: No. Sorry.

1157
00:59:32,592 --> 00:59:34,712
Michael: You know what,
I had a pretty good time here.

1158
00:59:34,842 --> 00:59:36,242
If you wanna come by,
it'd be great.

1159
00:59:36,342 --> 00:59:39,175
Don't kill yourself, but if
you're still up, you know...

1160
00:59:41,092 --> 00:59:43,083
Michael: We have dogs,
we have geese,

1161
00:59:43,217 --> 00:59:44,957
we have chickens, we have lions,

1162
00:59:45,592 --> 00:59:48,425
and we have woman!

1163
00:59:48,717 --> 00:59:50,332
Helena: We have ducks,
we have geese,

1164
00:59:50,592 --> 00:59:52,674
we have love, we have peace.

1165
00:59:53,967 --> 00:59:56,299
And everything else
you dream of.

1166
00:59:56,967 --> 00:59:59,458
Michael: We were match-mates,
to be honest.

1167
00:59:59,592 --> 01:00:01,674
And then we started talking
over the days,

1168
01:00:01,717 --> 01:00:03,437
and we didn't see each other
for two months.

1169
01:00:03,967 --> 01:00:05,707
Then we met, eventually.

1170
01:00:06,175 --> 01:00:07,460
I brought her coffee

1171
01:00:07,842 --> 01:00:08,957
and a Danish.

1172
01:00:10,467 --> 01:00:13,539
Helena: He just seemed
so joyful.

1173
01:00:13,675 --> 01:00:15,836
Sweet, deep and emotional,

1174
01:00:15,967 --> 01:00:18,333
kind, profound and funny.

1175
01:00:18,467 --> 01:00:20,549
Total mental
and physical chemistry.

1176
01:00:23,050 --> 01:00:25,962
Michael: I'm in love
and living in Paris.

1177
01:00:27,425 --> 01:00:29,461
Helena: This is a record...
This is a recording.

1178
01:00:29,592 --> 01:00:31,082
This is a recording.

1179
01:00:32,467 --> 01:00:33,957
Michael: This is
virtual reality.

1180
01:00:34,092 --> 01:00:35,332
Helena: Sure.

1181
01:00:35,467 --> 01:00:38,459
It's happening right now.

1182
01:00:39,592 --> 01:00:42,959
Here we have a rock star
of our times.

1183
01:00:43,092 --> 01:00:46,664
How do you feel
having such an adorable chest?

1184
01:00:51,467 --> 01:00:53,423
Helena: What a wonderful heart.

1185
01:00:54,342 --> 01:00:55,342
Man: This afternoon,

1186
01:00:55,467 --> 01:00:59,335
you're gonna be able to see
Jesus Jones, Deborah Harry,

1187
01:00:59,467 --> 01:01:00,798
hothouse flowers

1188
01:01:00,925 --> 01:01:03,541
and INXS!

1189
01:01:03,675 --> 01:01:07,338
Helena: And, oh, my god,
he was so intoxicatingly good

1190
01:01:07,467 --> 01:01:08,707
on that stage, you know?

1191
01:01:08,842 --> 01:01:10,207
It just elevated your mood.

1192
01:01:10,342 --> 01:01:12,298
He just becomes one
with the music.

1193
01:01:12,425 --> 01:01:13,585
I was blown away.

1194
01:01:13,717 --> 01:01:16,709
INXS: Bitter tears

1195
01:01:17,175 --> 01:01:19,837
in the hour

1196
01:01:20,467 --> 01:01:23,664
of your needs, yeah

1197
01:01:24,092 --> 01:01:26,708
your lips are trembling

1198
01:01:27,050 --> 01:01:28,961
'cause you're gonna be free

1199
01:01:32,717 --> 01:01:36,665
realise what we're doing here

1200
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:40,213
the time is right
to kill your fears

1201
01:01:42,342 --> 01:01:44,082
bitter tears

1202
01:01:45,342 --> 01:01:47,333
they taste so sweet, honey

1203
01:01:49,467 --> 01:01:51,583
I'm seeing my way

1204
01:01:52,217 --> 01:01:54,549
for the first time in years

1205
01:01:56,425 --> 01:01:59,917
Michael had that
very alluring, magnetic energy

1206
01:02:00,092 --> 01:02:01,092
about him.

1207
01:02:01,217 --> 01:02:02,957
You know when there's
one person in a room

1208
01:02:03,092 --> 01:02:04,172
that has a special light

1209
01:02:04,300 --> 01:02:05,980
and everyone's drawn to that?
That was him.

1210
01:02:06,842 --> 01:02:09,299
When we finally
had time together,

1211
01:02:09,425 --> 01:02:11,586
it would be Paris,
where I was living,

1212
01:02:11,717 --> 01:02:13,457
and he would come
and stay with me.

1213
01:02:13,592 --> 01:02:16,049
So, that's probably the city
that we spent most time in.

1214
01:02:17,175 --> 01:02:18,735
And then south of France
in the summers.

1215
01:02:19,967 --> 01:02:24,210
Tonight we've got a special
report on the south of France

1216
01:02:24,342 --> 01:02:28,210
and I'm so lucky to have some
of my best friends among me.

1217
01:02:28,342 --> 01:02:30,708
Michael: Ok, ok.
Can we record this?

1218
01:02:31,967 --> 01:02:35,585
I wanna be loved by you

1219
01:02:35,717 --> 01:02:39,209
nobody else but you

1220
01:02:39,342 --> 01:02:42,960
I wanna be loved by you

1221
01:02:43,092 --> 01:02:46,164
be-doo, be-doo, ba-ba-be-doo

1222
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:49,336
Helena: It was like an explosion

1223
01:02:49,425 --> 01:02:51,962
of intense personalities
all wanting to have fun.

1224
01:02:52,467 --> 01:02:54,332
And we would drive
from house to house,

1225
01:02:54,592 --> 01:02:55,592
have lunch in one place,

1226
01:02:55,717 --> 01:02:57,673
dinner in another place,
party in a third.

1227
01:02:58,092 --> 01:03:01,050
It was the most decadent,
wonderful times

1228
01:03:01,342 --> 01:03:02,707
that I've had in my life.

1229
01:03:03,717 --> 01:03:05,958
He loved his home down there.

1230
01:03:07,842 --> 01:03:11,334
We have this gorgeous young lad
sitting over here by the left,

1231
01:03:11,717 --> 01:03:15,084
and he looks very mischievous,
doesn't he?

1232
01:03:15,175 --> 01:03:18,588
And he will now speak into
this little speaker,

1233
01:03:18,842 --> 01:03:21,174
telling us about
his innermost feelings.

1234
01:03:22,342 --> 01:03:24,333
Michael: Yeah, well,
the thing is,

1235
01:03:24,467 --> 01:03:25,798
it's just great being here,

1236
01:03:25,967 --> 01:03:27,798
sitting around
these beautiful women,

1237
01:03:28,550 --> 01:03:30,040
having a wonderful time.

1238
01:03:30,175 --> 01:03:33,417
It's all gonna be fabulous.
See you soon.

1239
01:03:34,842 --> 01:03:36,707
Michael: Helena!

1240
01:03:37,342 --> 01:03:38,457
Look at that!

1241
01:03:38,717 --> 01:03:39,923
Helena: He loved women,

1242
01:03:40,050 --> 01:03:43,713
but he was very committed
when he was with somebody.

1243
01:03:43,842 --> 01:03:45,582
Very homey, really.

1244
01:03:45,717 --> 01:03:47,548
He wanted to just nest.

1245
01:03:50,592 --> 01:03:53,174
We walk into this olive grove.

1246
01:03:53,300 --> 01:03:55,586
He says, "you know the thing
about olive trees?"

1247
01:03:56,175 --> 01:03:57,460
I said, "what?"

1248
01:03:57,717 --> 01:04:00,459
He says, "they're immortal.”

1249
01:04:01,050 --> 01:04:03,587
He says, "there's olive trees
that go back 2,000 years.

1250
01:04:03,717 --> 01:04:05,833
"There's olive trees
older than christianity."

1251
01:04:05,967 --> 01:04:07,298
I said, "these ones?"

1252
01:04:07,425 --> 01:04:09,711
He said, "I don't think so,
but they're old,

1253
01:04:09,842 --> 01:04:11,207
"and we'll never be."

1254
01:04:15,092 --> 01:04:17,708
I would get calls
from kell to say,

1255
01:04:17,842 --> 01:04:20,959
"do you know where Michael is?"
And I'd get calls from mother.

1256
01:04:21,092 --> 01:04:22,298
They wouldn't call each other.

1257
01:04:22,425 --> 01:04:25,292
And then Michael realised
that if he would suggest it,

1258
01:04:25,467 --> 01:04:26,707
the two of them would come.

1259
01:04:26,925 --> 01:04:28,335
We were all there.

1260
01:04:28,842 --> 01:04:30,457
It was
the most wonderful Christmas.

1261
01:04:31,425 --> 01:04:32,585
Michael was the centre.

1262
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,837
I'm taking a shot
of Michael's house

1263
01:04:44,967 --> 01:04:47,333
in roquefort-les-pins...

1264
01:04:48,175 --> 01:04:49,210
In France.

1265
01:04:49,717 --> 01:04:51,207
It's about 8:30 in the morning

1266
01:04:51,342 --> 01:04:53,458
and it's just beautiful
down here.

1267
01:04:53,842 --> 01:04:55,707
Just absolutely exquisite.

1268
01:04:56,717 --> 01:05:00,084
It was '85
when I met up with kell,

1269
01:05:00,217 --> 01:05:02,333
who had come over
to work in Hong Kong,

1270
01:05:02,467 --> 01:05:04,549
because China was opening up.

1271
01:05:04,967 --> 01:05:08,084
He had actually been divorced
ten years at that point.

1272
01:05:08,217 --> 01:05:10,173
We met, had dinner
at the Hong Kong club,

1273
01:05:10,300 --> 01:05:11,836
and a year later
we were married.

1274
01:05:11,967 --> 01:05:13,298
la, la, la, la.

1275
01:05:15,967 --> 01:05:17,568
Susie: Michael and Rhett
were at the wedding.

1276
01:05:17,592 --> 01:05:19,583
A very happy, happy event.

1277
01:05:19,967 --> 01:05:22,083
Michael had gone through
a bit of a tumultuous time

1278
01:05:22,217 --> 01:05:23,673
as far as his parents,

1279
01:05:23,717 --> 01:05:25,924
but when he came back
to Hong Kong,

1280
01:05:25,967 --> 01:05:28,674
it was like
he found his father again,

1281
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:32,088
and he was so happy
and, of course, so was kell.

1282
01:05:33,342 --> 01:05:35,424
One night, we were in
Ian kwai fong,

1283
01:05:35,550 --> 01:05:36,585
kell and I were dining,

1284
01:05:36,717 --> 01:05:38,673
and Michael was there
with another group.

1285
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:40,711
He came up and he joined us
and he was so happy

1286
01:05:40,842 --> 01:05:43,709
and he said to me,
"isn't he an angel?"

1287
01:05:44,425 --> 01:05:45,943
He was a gentleman
and he was a charmer,

1288
01:05:45,967 --> 01:05:47,958
and every time I introduced
a girl to my dad,

1289
01:05:47,967 --> 01:05:49,943
the first thing they said
when they walked away was,

1290
01:05:49,967 --> 01:05:50,967
"I love your dad."

1291
01:05:51,467 --> 01:05:54,584
Kell was like that.
Always fussing over women,

1292
01:05:54,717 --> 01:05:56,548
making them feel terrific.

1293
01:05:57,092 --> 01:05:58,957
He made you feel at ease.

1294
01:05:59,050 --> 01:06:01,462
Michael just learned that,
just watching.

1295
01:06:02,550 --> 01:06:04,151
Man: How would you actually
like to celebrate

1296
01:06:04,175 --> 01:06:05,175
the turn of the century?

1297
01:06:05,342 --> 01:06:06,673
Michael: Not that far away,
is it?

1298
01:06:07,217 --> 01:06:09,048
Yeah, well, I'll be 40.

1299
01:06:09,217 --> 01:06:10,832
Well, I made a deal
with my old man

1300
01:06:10,925 --> 01:06:13,337
that we'd be sitting around,
having a bottle of champagne.

1301
01:06:13,425 --> 01:06:15,541
So, let's hope that happens.

1302
01:06:34,050 --> 01:06:36,336
We were riding home on our bikes

1303
01:06:36,675 --> 01:06:38,711
and we stopped to get pizza.

1304
01:06:38,967 --> 01:06:42,084
He was stopped in the middle
of a tiny, very narrow road

1305
01:06:42,300 --> 01:06:44,086
and was eating his pizza.

1306
01:06:44,300 --> 01:06:48,464
This insane taxi driver
yelled at Michael to move,

1307
01:06:48,592 --> 01:06:50,583
got out of his car
and punched him.

1308
01:06:53,050 --> 01:06:55,086
Helena: He fell backwards
and hit the kerb.

1309
01:06:56,550 --> 01:06:57,585
He was unconscious

1310
01:06:57,842 --> 01:07:01,084
and there was blood coming
out of his mouth and ear.

1311
01:07:01,217 --> 01:07:03,048
I thought he was dead.

1312
01:07:04,050 --> 01:07:07,838
We get to the hospital and
he woke up and was aggressive.

1313
01:07:08,550 --> 01:07:10,461
They were trying
to make him stay,

1314
01:07:10,550 --> 01:07:12,711
but he was physically
pushing them away.

1315
01:07:12,967 --> 01:07:14,207
They thought he was drunk.

1316
01:07:14,925 --> 01:07:17,917
He insisted he wanted to go,
and they let him go.

1317
01:07:18,217 --> 01:07:20,959
What I don't understand is why
the hospital didn't keep him.

1318
01:07:30,092 --> 01:07:32,834
For a month he lay in bed
in my apartment.

1319
01:07:33,217 --> 01:07:35,799
He was throwing up
most of the time.

1320
01:07:36,592 --> 01:07:38,048
He should've been in hospital,

1321
01:07:38,175 --> 01:07:40,666
but he was
aggressively against it.

1322
01:07:43,050 --> 01:07:44,335
I would bring him food,

1323
01:07:44,467 --> 01:07:46,298
but most of it
he would just push away.

1324
01:07:46,467 --> 01:07:48,958
Like, he got almost violent.

1325
01:07:50,050 --> 01:07:52,837
This dark, very angry side
came out in him,

1326
01:07:53,342 --> 01:07:55,958
and it was only when he slowly,
after a month,

1327
01:07:56,175 --> 01:07:57,836
got out of that state,

1328
01:07:57,925 --> 01:08:01,338
that he was able to make
the decision in going to Paris

1329
01:08:01,467 --> 01:08:04,334
to see
a highly-esteemed surgeon.

1330
01:08:07,467 --> 01:08:11,085
He got the scan.
He had a fissure to his skull

1331
01:08:11,217 --> 01:08:13,208
and the nerves had been torn.

1332
01:08:14,175 --> 01:08:16,006
He most likely
would never regain

1333
01:08:16,050 --> 01:08:17,665
his sense of smell and taste.

1334
01:08:34,883 --> 01:08:37,670
He did not want me
to tell anyone.

1335
01:08:37,758 --> 01:08:39,498
He didn't even allow me
to tell my parents.

1336
01:08:40,508 --> 01:08:41,918
We kept seeing doctors,

1337
01:08:44,925 --> 01:08:47,792
and were always told that
that would be impossible.

1338
01:08:49,758 --> 01:08:51,623
He broke down,
and he would be like,

1339
01:08:51,675 --> 01:08:54,041
"I'm never gonna be able
to smell my baby.

1340
01:08:54,050 --> 01:08:57,247
"When I have a child,
I will never smell that child."

1341
01:08:58,175 --> 01:09:01,292
Things just got really heavy
in his head.

1342
01:09:02,675 --> 01:09:07,044
Michael: My head was smashed
onto a road.

1343
01:09:07,258 --> 01:09:09,169
I spent a couple of weeks

1344
01:09:09,550 --> 01:09:12,041
sort of talking in tongues
and stuff.

1345
01:09:12,050 --> 01:09:12,914
Finally...

1346
01:09:13,008 --> 01:09:15,044
I'm fine now, but the...

1347
01:09:15,925 --> 01:09:17,290
The good thing about it is uh...

1348
01:09:18,425 --> 01:09:22,168
These kind of experiences
really sort you out a lot

1349
01:09:22,300 --> 01:09:23,506
and they make you realise...

1350
01:09:23,633 --> 01:09:24,668
You know, you get your...

1351
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:27,667
They make you realise what's
important, what's not important

1352
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:28,800
in your life and uh...

1353
01:09:30,008 --> 01:09:32,374
So, I've been happy for it
in a way.

1354
01:09:32,508 --> 01:09:34,169
A strange way.

1355
01:09:35,258 --> 01:09:38,045
Just after the accident,
we went to the island of Capri

1356
01:09:38,175 --> 01:09:39,540
to make full moon, dirty hearts.

1357
01:09:39,675 --> 01:09:42,417
And right from the get-go,
Michael was kinda different.

1358
01:09:43,675 --> 01:09:45,040
I remember him smashing

1359
01:09:45,133 --> 01:09:47,670
Andrew's really beautiful,
vintage acoustic guitar

1360
01:09:47,758 --> 01:09:48,873
one night, just for fun,

1361
01:09:49,008 --> 01:09:51,420
and it was like, "wow,
what's happened to Michael?"

1362
01:09:51,675 --> 01:09:54,382
He just didn't seem himself
at all.

1363
01:09:57,383 --> 01:09:58,623
It was quite clear

1364
01:09:58,758 --> 01:10:01,545
that Michael was suffering from
some serious brain damage.

1365
01:10:02,925 --> 01:10:04,005
And Michael, ordinarily,

1366
01:10:04,050 --> 01:10:06,041
was not an aggressive,
confrontational

1367
01:10:06,175 --> 01:10:07,415
or violent person.

1368
01:10:07,758 --> 01:10:08,878
You can take your fucking...

1369
01:10:08,925 --> 01:10:12,167
Jon: I felt this incredible
overwhelming sense of sadness,

1370
01:10:12,550 --> 01:10:14,791
"this is not the Michael
that I know."

1371
01:10:19,133 --> 01:10:20,651
You never knew
what you were gonna get.

1372
01:10:20,675 --> 01:10:22,540
Some days
he was really normal Michael,

1373
01:10:22,675 --> 01:10:23,915
and then other days

1374
01:10:24,008 --> 01:10:26,420
he was just this
aggressive, violent monster.

1375
01:10:26,758 --> 01:10:28,669
Virtually was bipolar.

1376
01:10:30,300 --> 01:10:33,133
He was just very erratic
in his behaviour,

1377
01:10:33,175 --> 01:10:35,757
but also in what
we were trying to do musically.

1378
01:10:36,258 --> 01:10:39,546
He certainly had got
sucked into the grunge thing,

1379
01:10:39,675 --> 01:10:41,984
and there was a lot of times
where he would stop everything

1380
01:10:42,008 --> 01:10:43,328
and go,
"you gotta listen to this.

1381
01:10:43,425 --> 01:10:44,825
"This is what
we're gonna be doing."

1382
01:10:45,300 --> 01:10:48,167
So I had huge arguments
with Michael over that.

1383
01:10:48,300 --> 01:10:51,167
He was trying to make it
a lot more not INXS.

1384
01:10:53,925 --> 01:10:55,506
Things were magnified.

1385
01:10:56,050 --> 01:10:59,167
Erratic conversations,
obsessive conversations,

1386
01:10:59,300 --> 01:11:01,791
repeating of conversations.

1387
01:11:01,925 --> 01:11:03,165
That wasn't him.

1388
01:11:07,383 --> 01:11:09,874
Complete mind blank here. Sorry.

1389
01:11:10,008 --> 01:11:11,248
We went...

1390
01:11:13,675 --> 01:11:15,006
Do you have any notes?

1391
01:11:18,550 --> 01:11:19,630
The producer, yeah.

1392
01:11:19,758 --> 01:11:21,518
Man: I'm sure I've got notes
on the producer.

1393
01:11:21,550 --> 01:11:23,040
Yes, I'm sure you do.
Bloody hell.

1394
01:11:23,175 --> 01:11:24,540
Man: Nick launay? - Nick launay?

1395
01:11:24,675 --> 01:11:26,256
Man: There you go. - I lost it.

1396
01:11:28,508 --> 01:11:31,671
Michael: I spent about a year
what I call 'sensitising'.

1397
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:34,917
And it's like taking
your knuckles

1398
01:11:35,050 --> 01:11:37,291
and rubbing them raw

1399
01:11:37,425 --> 01:11:41,794
and really...
Really feeling things.

1400
01:11:41,925 --> 01:11:44,883
Not just having knowledge,

1401
01:11:45,008 --> 01:11:46,293
but feeling.

1402
01:11:46,425 --> 01:11:47,881
Really feeling.

1403
01:11:55,675 --> 01:11:57,040
For someone like Michael,

1404
01:11:57,133 --> 01:11:58,873
losing the sense

1405
01:11:59,008 --> 01:12:01,920
that really gives you
that primal connection

1406
01:12:02,050 --> 01:12:04,883
to sensual hedonism,
which is the sense of smell,

1407
01:12:05,008 --> 01:12:06,544
that would be really devastating

1408
01:12:06,675 --> 01:12:09,508
to someone who is already
engineered that way.

1409
01:12:14,925 --> 01:12:16,790
That would have also
really crushed someone

1410
01:12:16,925 --> 01:12:19,416
who lived the rock star dream

1411
01:12:19,550 --> 01:12:22,417
of exuding this sensuality
and sexuality

1412
01:12:22,550 --> 01:12:26,042
as he was singing and
performing and just being him.

1413
01:12:42,550 --> 01:12:44,916
His experience of food
would've been totally denuded.

1414
01:12:45,550 --> 01:12:48,041
Michael: Here's what we can do,
we can barbecue a whole one,

1415
01:12:48,175 --> 01:12:49,665
and you get,
from the actual garden...

1416
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:51,540
We barbecue it in twigs -
wrapped in twigs.

1417
01:12:52,133 --> 01:12:53,998
Rachel: All he
would be experiencing

1418
01:12:54,050 --> 01:12:55,756
is the feel of foods
in his mouth,

1419
01:12:55,883 --> 01:12:57,043
creaminess or crunchiness.

1420
01:12:59,300 --> 01:13:02,292
People don't understand how
important the sense of smell is

1421
01:13:02,425 --> 01:13:03,915
until they lose it.

1422
01:13:05,008 --> 01:13:07,294
The part of the brain
where smell is processed

1423
01:13:07,383 --> 01:13:08,418
and the part of the brain

1424
01:13:08,425 --> 01:13:10,507
where emotions and associations
get formed

1425
01:13:10,550 --> 01:13:12,256
are directly linked.

1426
01:13:15,758 --> 01:13:17,373
When people lose
their sense of smell,

1427
01:13:17,425 --> 01:13:19,541
they start losing
their sense of self.

1428
01:13:20,175 --> 01:13:22,166
Like they're floating
in outer space.

1429
01:13:22,300 --> 01:13:24,165
You can still see things,
you can hear things,

1430
01:13:24,300 --> 01:13:27,292
but there's this absence
and this emptiness.

1431
01:13:28,300 --> 01:13:30,757
It gets worse over time,
it doesn't get better.

1432
01:13:31,175 --> 01:13:34,497
It becomes
more of an obvious loss,

1433
01:13:34,550 --> 01:13:36,290
more of a hole in one's being.

1434
01:13:41,425 --> 01:13:43,006
People don't mind
if you kill yourself.

1435
01:13:43,133 --> 01:13:45,545
They're quite happy about it!

1436
01:13:45,675 --> 01:13:47,290
A lead story, yeah.

1437
01:13:47,425 --> 01:13:49,416
Well, I hope I don't become
a lead story.

1438
01:13:55,883 --> 01:13:57,498
There was never so much conflict

1439
01:13:57,550 --> 01:13:59,165
as post pushbike accident.

1440
01:13:59,925 --> 01:14:02,132
There was quite a
significant change in Michael.

1441
01:14:02,258 --> 01:14:04,044
He was very, very moody,

1442
01:14:04,175 --> 01:14:06,917
he didn't handle alcohol
anywhere near like he used to,

1443
01:14:07,050 --> 01:14:09,792
and he seemed to crave
more danger in his life,

1444
01:14:09,925 --> 01:14:12,667
whether it be with
the relationships or drugs

1445
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:13,800
or anything.

1446
01:14:14,133 --> 01:14:16,795
That was the start of Michael's
rage against the world.

1447
01:14:20,383 --> 01:14:22,151
Andrew says the only thing
we've got in common

1448
01:14:22,175 --> 01:14:23,255
is that we're in INXS.

1449
01:14:24,050 --> 01:14:25,050
Which I think is...

1450
01:14:26,258 --> 01:14:27,498
In some ways fairly true.

1451
01:14:27,675 --> 01:14:28,790
'Cause I search for reasons

1452
01:14:28,883 --> 01:14:30,919
why we still like to
get in a room together.

1453
01:14:31,550 --> 01:14:34,041
Definitely. 'Cause you better
have a really good reason

1454
01:14:34,050 --> 01:14:35,665
after 17 years.

1455
01:14:37,758 --> 01:14:40,295
It's more than half my life,
you know?

1456
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:52,542
Things changed
after the bicycle accident.

1457
01:14:52,675 --> 01:14:55,382
I think he was
very, very traumatised.

1458
01:14:58,258 --> 01:15:01,921
He confessed to me that
it changed everything for him.

1459
01:15:02,550 --> 01:15:05,747
What was just a sweet insecurity

1460
01:15:05,883 --> 01:15:07,794
became a deep insecurity.

1461
01:15:08,925 --> 01:15:11,507
He kinda lost his way
and forgot who he was.

1462
01:15:14,425 --> 01:15:19,044
There were many
comparisons with U2 and INXS.

1463
01:15:19,175 --> 01:15:21,917
He loved U2, he respected them,

1464
01:15:22,008 --> 01:15:24,169
but it made him feel
more insecure.

1465
01:15:25,925 --> 01:15:27,256
He was frustrated,

1466
01:15:27,383 --> 01:15:31,251
because they went from really
huge venues, including Wembley,

1467
01:15:31,383 --> 01:15:32,998
to this additional idea

1468
01:15:33,050 --> 01:15:35,666
of, "let's make the venues
very small,"

1469
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:37,540
like going back to pubs.

1470
01:15:37,758 --> 01:15:40,921
I had agents calling me,
record companies calling me,

1471
01:15:41,050 --> 01:15:44,122
saying this is
the most ludicrous thing.

1472
01:15:44,508 --> 01:15:46,669
That was a very big mistake.

1473
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,542
Things started going
the other way.

1474
01:15:52,258 --> 01:15:54,044
He had a very bad sense

1475
01:15:54,175 --> 01:15:56,291
of separating the good
from the bad,

1476
01:15:56,300 --> 01:15:58,916
or the ones who were
just taking advantage.

1477
01:15:59,008 --> 01:16:01,920
He should have just been around
good people at all times,

1478
01:16:02,050 --> 01:16:04,130
and unfortunately he got
dragged into something else.

1479
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:07,791
Helena: He was
so extremely talented,

1480
01:16:07,925 --> 01:16:10,291
but always feeling like
he wasn't.

1481
01:16:10,425 --> 01:16:13,792
I had not experienced
depression in anyone,

1482
01:16:13,925 --> 01:16:17,042
so I didn't really know
how to deal with it.

1483
01:16:17,175 --> 01:16:19,166
I started building up walls,

1484
01:16:19,300 --> 01:16:21,256
because it saddened me too much

1485
01:16:21,383 --> 01:16:22,793
to see what was happening
with him.

1486
01:16:23,925 --> 01:16:28,248
Something drastic happened,
I was deeply sad, confused

1487
01:16:28,383 --> 01:16:29,383
and bewildered,

1488
01:16:29,425 --> 01:16:30,915
but at the same time,

1489
01:16:31,175 --> 01:16:32,665
it couldn't have continued
that way.

1490
01:16:36,425 --> 01:16:39,747
Now, in all the polls
that I was reading

1491
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:41,756
- in countdown magazine...
- Mm. Oh, yeah.

1492
01:16:41,883 --> 01:16:43,669
You know, when it came
to sexiest man...

1493
01:16:44,175 --> 01:16:45,540
- Mm?
- ..You won.

1494
01:16:45,925 --> 01:16:47,445
- Is there a category for that?
- Yeah.

1495
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:49,882
She used to have
a picture of Michael

1496
01:16:49,925 --> 01:16:52,541
on the fridge,
long before they got together,

1497
01:16:52,925 --> 01:16:55,166
and I think it said
'love dog' on it.

1498
01:16:55,550 --> 01:16:57,131
You were saying earlier on

1499
01:16:57,175 --> 01:17:00,292
that in Australia the music is
more important than the image,

1500
01:17:00,425 --> 01:17:03,007
and in england everyone's very
concerned about your trousers.

1501
01:17:03,133 --> 01:17:04,133
- Mm.
- I'm not surprised.

1502
01:17:04,258 --> 01:17:05,258
The trousers.

1503
01:17:05,383 --> 01:17:06,623
They look a little tight to me.

1504
01:17:06,675 --> 01:17:08,165
Now, how would you describe
the music?

1505
01:17:08,300 --> 01:17:10,151
Belinda: I think Bob wrote
'fucker' above it once,

1506
01:17:10,175 --> 01:17:12,666
and so she got a new picture.

1507
01:17:15,300 --> 01:17:16,540
Bob and Paula

1508
01:17:16,675 --> 01:17:19,792
were probably the most famous
showbiz couple in britain.

1509
01:17:19,925 --> 01:17:21,901
I've gotta go off and do stuff.
Give the kids my love.

1510
01:17:21,925 --> 01:17:24,507
- I will. Lots of love. Bye.
- Bye!

1511
01:17:24,675 --> 01:17:26,506
Belinda: Paula just fell
out of love with him.

1512
01:17:26,675 --> 01:17:29,917
And then, one day,
Michael was there.

1513
01:17:30,550 --> 01:17:31,550
This is a guest

1514
01:17:31,675 --> 01:17:35,042
that has everything
that a rock star needs to have.

1515
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:39,292
Danger, talent, curly hair,

1516
01:17:39,550 --> 01:17:41,415
and Australian subtlety.

1517
01:17:41,550 --> 01:17:43,381
Short of them
being naked on the show,

1518
01:17:43,508 --> 01:17:44,873
it couldn't have been
more obvious.

1519
01:17:45,175 --> 01:17:48,667
The two of them had
enormous sexual chemistry.

1520
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:49,800
Hi.

1521
01:17:50,300 --> 01:17:51,790
Paula: Hi. -

1522
01:17:51,883 --> 01:17:53,999
what are you,
a big sex symbol of something?

1523
01:17:54,300 --> 01:17:54,880
"Hi."

1524
01:17:55,008 --> 01:17:56,373
Belinda: She was fabulous.

1525
01:17:56,508 --> 01:17:59,625
She was a cross between Marilyn
Monroe and Mary poppins.

1526
01:17:59,675 --> 01:18:01,151
- Album out at the moment.
- Yes, I do.

1527
01:18:01,175 --> 01:18:03,632
And, crikey, I really want
to talk to you about that.

1528
01:18:03,883 --> 01:18:05,293
Mm. I bet you do.

1529
01:18:05,425 --> 01:18:06,756
He called me up and he said,

1530
01:18:06,925 --> 01:18:09,541
"Martha, I don't care
what you're hearing or reading,

1531
01:18:09,758 --> 01:18:12,124
"this is the greatest thing
for me."

1532
01:18:12,300 --> 01:18:15,007
He sounded like
a different person.

1533
01:18:18,300 --> 01:18:20,791
He said
he loved having a family.

1534
01:18:21,050 --> 01:18:22,290
Which is one of the things

1535
01:18:22,383 --> 01:18:25,045
that Michael fell madly in love
with her about,

1536
01:18:25,133 --> 01:18:27,545
her kids
and the way she was with them.

1537
01:18:27,550 --> 01:18:30,542
And the sense of security
he got from her,

1538
01:18:30,675 --> 01:18:33,917
that she would look after
them all.

1539
01:18:37,758 --> 01:18:39,373
I don't think
it had occurred to Michael

1540
01:18:39,508 --> 01:18:40,873
that this was gonna happen.

1541
01:18:41,300 --> 01:18:43,507
He was witnessing the breakup
of a family

1542
01:18:43,550 --> 01:18:45,040
that he was responsible for,

1543
01:18:45,175 --> 01:18:46,881
which had a deep impact on him

1544
01:18:46,925 --> 01:18:49,041
because of his own upbringing.

1545
01:18:49,175 --> 01:18:51,291
I don't think he could ever
forgive himself

1546
01:18:51,425 --> 01:18:52,540
for what he had done,

1547
01:18:52,675 --> 01:18:54,506
and he took it out
on Bob geldof,

1548
01:18:54,550 --> 01:18:58,042
but it was really a reflection
of anger and shame.

1549
01:18:59,758 --> 01:19:01,859
Man: How's life been? Have you
had a bad couple of years?

1550
01:19:01,883 --> 01:19:03,293
Have you enjoyed it?
Had a nightmare?

1551
01:19:03,300 --> 01:19:04,380
What's been going on?

1552
01:19:04,550 --> 01:19:06,131
Yeah, part nightmare,
part fantastic.

1553
01:19:06,425 --> 01:19:08,040
Man: Ok.
- A bit of both, really.

1554
01:19:08,175 --> 01:19:10,291
- Do you ignore it all?
- I try.

1555
01:19:10,425 --> 01:19:11,505
Water off a duck's back?

1556
01:19:11,550 --> 01:19:13,415
I've always ignored it all,
as much as I can,

1557
01:19:13,508 --> 01:19:15,468
but after a while it just
kinda gets in your face.

1558
01:19:16,758 --> 01:19:18,669
Because Bob was sir Bob,

1559
01:19:18,883 --> 01:19:22,296
Paula was then cast off
into social Siberia.

1560
01:19:22,550 --> 01:19:24,040
And she felt that hard,

1561
01:19:24,050 --> 01:19:26,666
because she'd always been so
loved and adored by the public.

1562
01:19:28,633 --> 01:19:31,875
Your current Beau
sort of beats people up.

1563
01:19:32,008 --> 01:19:33,873
He sometimes gets a bit cross.

1564
01:19:36,175 --> 01:19:37,540
Man: Only if the photographers
come in

1565
01:19:37,550 --> 01:19:39,916
and they're from
the wrong organisation...

1566
01:19:40,300 --> 01:19:41,915
Don't say another word!

1567
01:19:42,050 --> 01:19:44,792
It seems to have upset
the pseudo-moralities

1568
01:19:44,925 --> 01:19:46,631
of the editors of the tabloids.

1569
01:19:46,633 --> 01:19:50,046
It's more the kids
that I worry about.

1570
01:19:51,300 --> 01:19:52,415
I love them, they love me.

1571
01:19:52,550 --> 01:19:53,630
I'm not their dad.

1572
01:19:53,758 --> 01:19:55,749
I'm their s-dad,
as they call me. Or Michael.

1573
01:19:59,175 --> 01:20:00,540
"Martha, she's beautiful.

1574
01:20:00,675 --> 01:20:01,790
"Martha, she's beautiful.

1575
01:20:01,925 --> 01:20:04,041
"Martha, I've never loved
somebody like that."

1576
01:20:04,175 --> 01:20:06,166
It was magical!

1577
01:20:06,300 --> 01:20:09,792
It just was something
that changed him completely.

1578
01:20:11,300 --> 01:20:13,632
Man: How is it
being a dad for the first time?

1579
01:20:13,675 --> 01:20:15,290
Uh... it's um...

1580
01:20:15,925 --> 01:20:17,665
It's beaut...
I mean, it's fantastic.

1581
01:20:17,675 --> 01:20:19,415
I'm on cloud nine.
What can I say?

1582
01:20:19,883 --> 01:20:21,544
She's amazing.
She's never cried.

1583
01:20:21,633 --> 01:20:22,633
She sleeps with us.

1584
01:20:22,675 --> 01:20:25,007
We wake her up in the morning,
she just hangs out.

1585
01:20:25,300 --> 01:20:26,380
We call her tiger.

1586
01:20:26,508 --> 01:20:27,708
Tiger Lily's one of her names.

1587
01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:29,540
Michael: Hello! Hi, gorgeous!

1588
01:20:29,675 --> 01:20:32,382
Aw! Hil

1589
01:20:32,508 --> 01:20:34,669
hi!

1590
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:36,540
Martha: He loved,
loved, loved her.

1591
01:20:36,633 --> 01:20:38,294
She was his world.

1592
01:20:38,425 --> 01:20:41,542
He'd carry around a clock
with her face on it.

1593
01:20:41,675 --> 01:20:43,791
She moved her fingers,
she moved her toe,

1594
01:20:43,925 --> 01:20:46,632
and you couldn't get him
to stop talking about it.

1595
01:20:46,758 --> 01:20:47,918
It was a wonderful thing.

1596
01:20:49,175 --> 01:20:53,043
And he would sing
to her and make her dance.

1597
01:20:53,175 --> 01:20:57,418
Her name's heavenly hiraani
tiger Lily hutchence.

1598
01:20:57,550 --> 01:21:00,166
- Wow! A lot of hs in there.
- Yeah, h-h-h.

1599
01:21:00,300 --> 01:21:01,540
She's her own 4-h club, almost.

1600
01:21:01,633 --> 01:21:02,668
Almost, yeah.

1601
01:21:03,175 --> 01:21:06,372
He would light up
unlike anything I'd ever seen.

1602
01:21:06,425 --> 01:21:08,256
To watch him like that
was so wonderful,

1603
01:21:08,300 --> 01:21:11,167
because there were days
that he was not happy.

1604
01:21:12,175 --> 01:21:14,375
Rosie: Now, when you go on
tour, will she come with you?

1605
01:21:14,425 --> 01:21:17,292
No, she just left yesterday,
actually, back to London,

1606
01:21:17,425 --> 01:21:18,665
with her mum, Paula.

1607
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:21,041
You know, she comes out
for a week here, a week there.

1608
01:21:21,175 --> 01:21:23,040
- Can't do it too long.
- No.

1609
01:21:23,175 --> 01:21:24,790
Is she sleeping
through the night yet?

1610
01:21:24,925 --> 01:21:26,790
She's great. Honestly.
It's my first baby

1611
01:21:26,925 --> 01:21:27,925
and she's just perfect.

1612
01:21:28,050 --> 01:21:30,041
I mean, I can't believe it.
Everybody's like...

1613
01:21:30,175 --> 01:21:32,015
The band's like,
"you wait till you have kids,"

1614
01:21:32,133 --> 01:21:34,294
and then I'm like...
"Great. Typical Michael."

1615
01:21:34,425 --> 01:21:37,258
She sleeps all night,
she just laughs in the day

1616
01:21:37,383 --> 01:21:39,499
and giggles and smiles,
never cries.

1617
01:21:40,633 --> 01:21:42,753
Michael: You know, some people
say you make your luck.

1618
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:44,506
I kinda believe
there's a sort of cosmic...

1619
01:21:45,675 --> 01:21:47,131
I-I mean, I believe in god,
and I...

1620
01:21:48,425 --> 01:21:49,505
And I...

1621
01:21:50,675 --> 01:21:51,881
You know, your stars line up

1622
01:21:52,008 --> 01:21:55,171
and sometimes
everything in life clicks,

1623
01:21:55,300 --> 01:21:57,666
sometimes you're fighting
against nature itself,

1624
01:21:57,800 --> 01:21:58,880
you know?

1625
01:22:06,925 --> 01:22:09,541
And the winner is,
for the best video...

1626
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:12,882
0asis, wonderwall.

1627
01:22:22,425 --> 01:22:24,381
Man: What happened
with oasis at the brit awards?

1628
01:22:24,508 --> 01:22:25,543
What was that?

1629
01:22:26,008 --> 01:22:26,793
I don't know.

1630
01:22:26,925 --> 01:22:28,734
He says crap all the time
like that to everyone.

1631
01:22:28,758 --> 01:22:30,419
The funny thing is,
Liam was saying to me,

1632
01:22:30,550 --> 01:22:33,542
"hey, mate, you know, I really
love you, I really love you."

1633
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:35,290
Martha: That crushed Michael.

1634
01:22:35,425 --> 01:22:37,882
It was devastating,
that moment in his life."

1635
01:22:38,175 --> 01:22:40,382
- So, new album.
- Yeah.

1636
01:22:40,550 --> 01:22:43,417
Looks good.

1637
01:22:44,758 --> 01:22:47,295
Woman: Full moon, dirty hearts
was '93,

1638
01:22:47,425 --> 01:22:48,631
so what took you so long?

1639
01:22:50,925 --> 01:22:52,790
Martha: They were
massive worldwide,

1640
01:22:52,925 --> 01:22:56,372
and to go
completely the other way,

1641
01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:58,916
that was really hard on them.

1642
01:22:59,050 --> 01:23:00,915
And really hard on Michael.

1643
01:23:02,175 --> 01:23:04,291
They were hoping
elegantly wasted

1644
01:23:04,383 --> 01:23:06,999
would be the album
that would turn things around.

1645
01:23:14,675 --> 01:23:15,881
Michael: Fuck you, fuck off.

1646
01:23:24,925 --> 01:23:26,131
Paula, look up, please.

1647
01:23:35,925 --> 01:23:38,416
They ransacked
her house while she was away.

1648
01:23:38,675 --> 01:23:41,633
The nanny let
this awful woman in,

1649
01:23:41,758 --> 01:23:43,669
and then they searched
the house.

1650
01:23:45,050 --> 01:23:46,915
First call was very irrational,

1651
01:23:47,050 --> 01:23:48,130
"they're gonna arrest me,

1652
01:23:48,258 --> 01:23:49,668
"they're gonna try
to take tiger.

1653
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:51,256
"Paula has to go back."

1654
01:23:51,425 --> 01:23:54,497
It scared him like nothing
has ever scared him.

1655
01:23:54,633 --> 01:23:56,633
Reporter: Leaving the
high court in London tonight,

1656
01:23:56,758 --> 01:23:57,918
an unsmiling Bob geldof,

1657
01:23:58,050 --> 01:24:00,132
reportedly seeking
an emergency order

1658
01:24:00,258 --> 01:24:02,749
about the future
of his three children.

1659
01:24:02,883 --> 01:24:03,918
Well, I've just come back

1660
01:24:04,050 --> 01:24:05,631
to fight for custody
of my children.

1661
01:24:05,758 --> 01:24:07,958
I've had to leave tiger behind
in Australia with her dad

1662
01:24:08,050 --> 01:24:09,256
and her grandparents,

1663
01:24:09,383 --> 01:24:10,793
which, obviously,
I didn't want to.

1664
01:24:10,925 --> 01:24:13,166
As for the so-called
investigative reporting

1665
01:24:13,300 --> 01:24:14,415
in the mirror,

1666
01:24:14,550 --> 01:24:16,666
suffice to say there's
an entirely different way

1667
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:19,291
of looking at
this whole series of events.

1668
01:24:23,425 --> 01:24:25,416
Ok, thanks very much, gentlemen.

1669
01:24:28,633 --> 01:24:29,918
Martha: If it was proven true,

1670
01:24:30,050 --> 01:24:31,790
tiger could be taken away
from them,

1671
01:24:31,925 --> 01:24:34,416
and that, to him, would be
the most devastating thing

1672
01:24:34,550 --> 01:24:36,666
that could ever happen to him.

1673
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:40,497
They were in the press
every single day.

1674
01:24:40,633 --> 01:24:42,544
Paula was in court all the time.

1675
01:24:45,300 --> 01:24:47,916
Belinda: They were literally
hounded by the press.

1676
01:24:48,050 --> 01:24:51,292
Nothing they could have done
would have been ok.

1677
01:24:55,883 --> 01:24:57,544
Michael: I'm basically
pretty shy,

1678
01:24:57,675 --> 01:24:59,757
so I find the whole thing
nightmarish.

1679
01:25:00,925 --> 01:25:02,540
You become dehumanised.

1680
01:25:03,675 --> 01:25:05,666
There's a bullying mentality
in england,

1681
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:09,042
and a very misogynistic one,
and that's scary.

1682
01:25:10,925 --> 01:25:13,917
Belinda: The opium
found in the house bollocks,

1683
01:25:14,050 --> 01:25:16,166
that was really the
beginning of the end, I think.

1684
01:25:17,425 --> 01:25:20,007
And then they just spiralled
into taking more drugs,

1685
01:25:20,133 --> 01:25:21,168
which she'd never done.

1686
01:25:21,300 --> 01:25:23,416
She was famously teetotal.

1687
01:25:23,550 --> 01:25:26,917
Prozac and valium and heroin.

1688
01:25:27,050 --> 01:25:29,666
They were a very bad influence
on each other.

1689
01:25:31,925 --> 01:25:34,997
There were months that
Michael would be totally clean,

1690
01:25:35,133 --> 01:25:37,624
but when he was feeling
the pressures

1691
01:25:37,758 --> 01:25:40,170
of the Paula situation
and everything else,

1692
01:25:40,300 --> 01:25:42,666
it just weighed on him
and he wanted to escape.

1693
01:25:44,008 --> 01:25:45,293
"Oh, let's try heroin."

1694
01:25:45,425 --> 01:25:46,915
Not needle heroin,

1695
01:25:47,050 --> 01:25:49,792
but still, that had
a horrible effect on him.

1696
01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:53,256
He was depressed.

1697
01:25:53,383 --> 01:25:55,294
I arranged for him
to go to a doctor.

1698
01:25:55,425 --> 01:25:56,540
He got Prozac.

1699
01:25:56,675 --> 01:25:59,166
I think he was taking more
than he was meant to.

1700
01:25:59,300 --> 01:26:01,666
I think he felt
quite isolated here.

1701
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:06,007
Martha: He felt he had
no real friends,

1702
01:26:06,133 --> 01:26:08,795
very few people
he could count on and trust.

1703
01:26:08,925 --> 01:26:10,665
I just know he felt very lonely.

1704
01:26:11,300 --> 01:26:14,042
For me, I-i-i would say
don't live in London.

1705
01:26:15,675 --> 01:26:16,675
At all.

1706
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:20,668
You just get shanghaied
by these guys and exploited,

1707
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:23,166
and they make it up
as they go along.

1708
01:26:23,300 --> 01:26:24,790
I've always sort of
prided myself...

1709
01:26:25,925 --> 01:26:28,541
Try to be sort of naive
about stuff

1710
01:26:28,675 --> 01:26:30,415
and just get on
with your own life.

1711
01:26:30,550 --> 01:26:32,791
Thought about leaving
and going back to Australia?

1712
01:26:32,925 --> 01:26:34,005
Yeah, but uh...

1713
01:26:34,133 --> 01:26:35,293
Yeah, I'd love to.

1714
01:26:36,425 --> 01:26:37,540
E-eventually.

1715
01:26:37,675 --> 01:26:39,776
But, you know, I don't think
you should live your life

1716
01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:43,122
being pushed around by people,
either, you know, so we'll see.

1717
01:26:43,258 --> 01:26:46,170
Ok. Well, it's been a real
honour meeting you, Michael.

1718
01:26:46,300 --> 01:26:47,540
Michael: Good questions.

1719
01:26:47,675 --> 01:26:49,131
He wanted to be in england

1720
01:26:49,258 --> 01:26:50,543
because of Paula and the kids.

1721
01:26:50,675 --> 01:26:51,755
On the other hand,

1722
01:26:51,883 --> 01:26:53,999
it's the last place
that he wanted to be

1723
01:26:54,133 --> 01:26:55,293
because of the situation

1724
01:26:55,425 --> 01:27:00,499
between the press and Paula
and him and the baby and Bob.

1725
01:27:07,133 --> 01:27:08,168
Hello!

1726
01:27:08,300 --> 01:27:11,667
When Paula was around,
it changed the dynamic a lot.

1727
01:27:12,300 --> 01:27:13,881
She knew
how to push his buttons,

1728
01:27:14,050 --> 01:27:15,915
as often
people in relationships do.

1729
01:27:16,425 --> 01:27:19,007
And she just seemed
to hit that button a lot.

1730
01:27:19,383 --> 01:27:21,544
He just was an emotional wreck.

1731
01:27:22,633 --> 01:27:23,793
Al-right-y.

1732
01:27:23,925 --> 01:27:25,665
Lesley: There was a lot of stuff

1733
01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:27,040
that was kinda heart-breaking,

1734
01:27:27,175 --> 01:27:29,416
because he just wanted
to please her.

1735
01:27:30,050 --> 01:27:32,257
But unless it was all about her,

1736
01:27:32,633 --> 01:27:35,796
there was a lot of drama,
big time.

1737
01:27:36,175 --> 01:27:37,175
I'd like an ice-cream.

1738
01:27:37,258 --> 01:27:38,618
Would you guys buy me
an ice-cream?

1739
01:27:38,925 --> 01:27:40,245
Man: Oh, I think
you've missed it.

1740
01:27:40,425 --> 01:27:41,505
No, he's right there!

1741
01:27:41,508 --> 01:27:42,998
Lesley: I know he loved her.

1742
01:27:43,258 --> 01:27:46,295
I mean,
he was madly in love with her.

1743
01:27:46,508 --> 01:27:49,625
And I know he wasn't happy
at that time,

1744
01:27:49,758 --> 01:27:51,419
but I know he still loved her.

1745
01:27:57,633 --> 01:27:58,873
How are you? How are you doing?

1746
01:28:01,300 --> 01:28:03,416
Martha: When Michael
didn't know what to do,

1747
01:28:03,550 --> 01:28:06,622
time to change,
because that'll make it better.

1748
01:28:17,300 --> 01:28:18,300
Benson!

1749
01:28:18,425 --> 01:28:19,540
INXS: Searching

1750
01:28:19,675 --> 01:28:21,006
I am searching

1751
01:28:24,300 --> 01:28:26,131
ji am not alone

1752
01:28:29,508 --> 01:28:31,419
I am searching

1753
01:28:33,133 --> 01:28:36,671
please show me some

1754
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:39,007
this was written
by a 20-year-old.

1755
01:28:39,133 --> 01:28:42,170
"August 31, 1997.

1756
01:28:42,300 --> 01:28:44,757
"I got a call from him
and he was upset.

1757
01:28:44,883 --> 01:28:48,546
"Apparently Paula's been trying
to break up with him all day.

1758
01:28:48,675 --> 01:28:50,165
"She's clinically depressed

1759
01:28:50,300 --> 01:28:52,131
"and comes from
a horrible background."

1760
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:55,791
"The next day,
Michael stopped by,

1761
01:28:55,925 --> 01:28:58,541
"and when I opened the door,
before I could say hi,

1762
01:28:58,675 --> 01:29:01,166
"we were in the most
romantic embrace of my life."

1763
01:29:03,550 --> 01:29:06,166
"September 12th, 1997.

1764
01:29:06,300 --> 01:29:07,380
"Michael phones me

1765
01:29:07,508 --> 01:29:09,373
"and says Paula's tried
to commit suicide.

1766
01:29:09,508 --> 01:29:12,420
"I asked how he was, he said,
't'm weird in the head.'

1767
01:29:12,550 --> 01:29:13,665
"I said, 'i bet.'

1768
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:15,631
"he said, 'no, you have no idea.

1769
01:29:15,758 --> 01:29:17,373
"You don't know
what I'm going through.

1770
01:29:17,508 --> 01:29:19,749
"You don't understand
what's going on in my head."

1771
01:29:20,925 --> 01:29:22,540
if we could face the pain

1772
01:29:25,425 --> 01:29:27,040
and I could do the same

1773
01:29:31,008 --> 01:29:33,420
it would be clear tomorrow

1774
01:29:34,675 --> 01:29:37,132
but would it start

1775
01:29:38,675 --> 01:29:40,757
but would it start again?

1776
01:29:40,883 --> 01:29:43,044
oh, yeah

1777
01:29:43,175 --> 01:29:45,757
Erin: The phone would ring
and it was her,

1778
01:29:45,883 --> 01:29:47,999
and I would find
another part of the room.

1779
01:29:48,133 --> 01:29:50,624
You could hear the discord.

1780
01:29:50,758 --> 01:29:55,422
The emotional rollercoaster
was so high and so low,

1781
01:29:55,550 --> 01:29:57,916
and I was a retreat
from all of that,

1782
01:29:58,050 --> 01:30:00,291
all of the bad,
all of the sadness.

1783
01:30:00,425 --> 01:30:02,916
please

1784
01:30:03,050 --> 01:30:04,165
show me some

1785
01:30:07,133 --> 01:30:09,294
saw a mother screaming

1786
01:30:12,050 --> 01:30:14,757
she had lost control

1787
01:30:17,133 --> 01:30:19,670
of what she once believed in

1788
01:30:20,175 --> 01:30:21,790
he was leaving the next day.

1789
01:30:22,050 --> 01:30:23,631
He crawled up to me on the bed.

1790
01:30:23,758 --> 01:30:26,295
He said,
"you worry every time I leave."

1791
01:30:27,050 --> 01:30:28,039
I said, "yeah."

1792
01:30:28,050 --> 01:30:29,859
He said, "you think something's
gonna happen to me,"

1793
01:30:29,883 --> 01:30:30,998
and I said, "yeah."

1794
01:30:31,175 --> 01:30:33,291
And he goes, "do you think
I'm gonna kill myself?"

1795
01:30:35,550 --> 01:30:36,756
And I just said, "yeah."

1796
01:30:38,925 --> 01:30:40,256
And he kind of came up and...

1797
01:30:41,925 --> 01:30:43,540
Just said, "aw, baby,

1798
01:30:44,050 --> 01:30:46,132
that's not gonna happen.”

1799
01:30:46,300 --> 01:30:47,415
oh

1800
01:30:48,550 --> 01:30:50,541
if you could face the pain 7'

1801
01:30:50,675 --> 01:30:52,165
you know, I mean, life is...

1802
01:30:53,425 --> 01:30:54,915
You know, kind of a mess,
isn't it?

1803
01:30:56,133 --> 01:30:57,168
Let's face it.

1804
01:30:57,300 --> 01:30:59,791
Almost every area of his life

1805
01:30:59,925 --> 01:31:03,042
was affected one way or another

1806
01:31:03,175 --> 01:31:05,257
in some kind of turmoil.

1807
01:31:06,300 --> 01:31:08,382
That tour in Australia,

1808
01:31:08,508 --> 01:31:10,169
as it was counting down,

1809
01:31:10,258 --> 01:31:13,546
he had a lot of anxiety
about going there.

1810
01:31:14,008 --> 01:31:15,919
He really didn't wanna go.

1811
01:31:17,550 --> 01:31:18,915
I was concerned about him.

1812
01:31:19,050 --> 01:31:22,042
I said, "I'll call the
promoters and let's cancel it."

1813
01:31:22,175 --> 01:31:23,290
And he just couldn't do it,

1814
01:31:23,425 --> 01:31:25,916
because no matter the
ups and downs the band had,

1815
01:31:26,050 --> 01:31:27,506
he loved them.

1816
01:31:27,633 --> 01:31:30,750
And Michael had this feeling
about Australia,

1817
01:31:30,925 --> 01:31:32,540
it meant a great deal to him.

1818
01:31:35,883 --> 01:31:37,293
He rang me.

1819
01:31:37,425 --> 01:31:38,915
He said that life
was complicated.

1820
01:31:39,050 --> 01:31:42,542
We arranged to meet up the
next day for a late breakfast.

1821
01:32:19,300 --> 01:32:20,915
Man: Any surprises in store?

1822
01:32:21,050 --> 01:32:22,165
Oh...

1823
01:32:23,425 --> 01:32:24,540
When isn't there ever?

1824
01:32:25,175 --> 01:32:27,382
Those rehearsals
were the best I'd seen Michael

1825
01:32:27,425 --> 01:32:28,540
in a long time.

1826
01:32:28,800 --> 01:32:31,416
He'd ridden his Harley-Davidson
into the studio,

1827
01:32:31,550 --> 01:32:33,541
came out of the elevator doors
on his Harley.

1828
01:32:34,300 --> 01:32:35,506
Hey!

1829
01:32:35,675 --> 01:32:36,915
Just 'cause I'm in a good...

1830
01:32:37,008 --> 01:32:38,373
Just 'cause I'm in
a good mood now,

1831
01:32:38,508 --> 01:32:40,044
there's no need to fuck around.

1832
01:32:41,800 --> 01:32:43,540
I just said,
"it's been postponed.

1833
01:32:43,675 --> 01:32:46,291
"I can't come
until after December 17th."

1834
01:32:46,508 --> 01:32:49,170
He said, "I'm gonna ring Bob
and I'm going to beg him."

1835
01:32:50,550 --> 01:32:53,417
Paula spoke to Michael
on the phone.

1836
01:32:53,550 --> 01:32:54,790
She was hysterical.

1837
01:32:54,925 --> 01:32:56,665
I spoke to Michael.

1838
01:32:56,800 --> 01:33:00,497
He said to me, "just make sure
she's ok, will you?"

1839
01:33:00,633 --> 01:33:03,045
I think he was exasperated
with the whole thing.

1840
01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:07,997
Michele: He called early.
He was upset and he was angry.

1841
01:33:08,133 --> 01:33:09,373
"Why aren't you there?"

1842
01:33:09,508 --> 01:33:11,294
I didn't hear it till later.

1843
01:33:11,425 --> 01:33:13,131
Martha: He called me.

1844
01:33:13,258 --> 01:33:16,170
He was extremely upset
and confused

1845
01:33:16,300 --> 01:33:18,791
that the kids weren't coming
to Australia.

1846
01:33:18,925 --> 01:33:20,415
But it was more than that.

1847
01:33:20,550 --> 01:33:22,757
He was really confused

1848
01:33:22,883 --> 01:33:26,046
about where he wanted to be
himself in life.

1849
01:33:27,300 --> 01:33:30,042
I went back to the office
and I heard a message.

1850
01:33:30,175 --> 01:33:32,040
He was just really angry.

1851
01:33:32,175 --> 01:33:35,622
He said, "Martha, I don't give
a shit anymore."

1852
01:33:37,050 --> 01:33:40,872
When I got home,
I heard a different voice,

1853
01:33:41,008 --> 01:33:42,544
"marth, marth, I need you."

1854
01:33:42,675 --> 01:33:44,006
So desperate.

1855
01:33:46,550 --> 01:33:49,417
Michele: He called again.
He said he needed to see me.

1856
01:33:49,550 --> 01:33:50,859
He said,
"everything's fucked up."

1857
01:33:50,883 --> 01:33:52,544
He'd start crying.

1858
01:33:52,675 --> 01:33:55,417
He said, "I'm supposed to be
at rehearsals."

1859
01:33:55,550 --> 01:33:57,070
I suggested
that he try and go to sleep

1860
01:33:57,133 --> 01:33:59,359
and ring the guys and tell them
that he couldn't make it.

1861
01:33:59,383 --> 01:34:00,998
And he said,
"yeah, I will do that."

1862
01:34:01,133 --> 01:34:03,294
And he said,
"but will you come, anyway?"

1863
01:34:03,550 --> 01:34:07,748
He just sounded so exhausted
and totally depleted

1864
01:34:07,883 --> 01:34:10,295
in the most extreme way.

1865
01:34:12,050 --> 01:34:14,792
I got there
about 20 minutes later.

1866
01:34:15,133 --> 01:34:17,169
I went up to the room
and there was no answer.

1867
01:34:17,425 --> 01:34:19,541
I went down and wrote a note,

1868
01:34:19,675 --> 01:34:23,167
and I just went home,
thinking he'd fallen asleep.

1869
01:34:42,425 --> 01:34:45,041
The phone rang
and this reporter said,

1870
01:34:45,258 --> 01:34:47,169
"can you make a comment
about Michael?"

1871
01:34:47,300 --> 01:34:49,256
And I said,
"about what? The tour?"

1872
01:34:49,383 --> 01:34:51,544
He said, "no, about Michael."

1873
01:34:51,675 --> 01:34:53,791
And I said, "would you please
explain yourself?"

1874
01:34:53,925 --> 01:34:56,045
And he said, "oh, I'm sorry,
I'll ring the PR people,"

1875
01:34:56,175 --> 01:34:57,381
and hung up.

1876
01:34:57,675 --> 01:34:59,882
And I just sat there, frozen.

1877
01:35:04,758 --> 01:35:08,046
Martha: And all at once, the
studio called me on one line

1878
01:35:08,175 --> 01:35:10,666
and the tour manager called me
on the other lines.

1879
01:35:49,050 --> 01:35:50,506
Man: Ok, Michael, take care.

1880
01:35:50,675 --> 01:35:51,915
Michael: Right. Man: Bye-bye.

1881
01:35:52,050 --> 01:35:53,506
Michael. Say hello to everybody.

1882
01:35:53,675 --> 01:35:54,881
What's that, sorry?

1883
01:35:54,925 --> 01:35:56,290
Michael. Say hello to everybody.

1884
01:35:56,425 --> 01:35:59,041
Man: I will do.
Ok, mate, bye-bye.

1885
01:36:09,925 --> 01:36:11,665
Well, I've got the first part
of it anyway.

1886
01:36:15,633 --> 01:36:16,748
I've...

1887
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:24,539
all...

1888
01:36:24,675 --> 01:36:25,675
all

1889
01:36:26,050 --> 01:36:28,632
all veils and misty

1890
01:36:30,008 --> 01:36:31,794
streets of blue

1891
01:36:34,175 --> 01:36:35,915
almond looks

1892
01:36:37,300 --> 01:36:39,416
that chill divine

1893
01:36:41,133 --> 01:36:43,499
some silken moment

1894
01:36:44,925 --> 01:36:47,166
goes on forever

1895
01:36:49,175 --> 01:36:54,295
and we're leaving
broken hearts behind

1896
01:36:54,425 --> 01:36:56,165
- what happens here? Chorus?
- The chorus.

1897
01:36:56,800 --> 01:36:57,915
 Mystify

1898
01:36:58,133 --> 01:36:59,293
new one, yeah.

1899
01:36:59,550 --> 01:37:02,257
you mystify me

1900
01:37:02,675 --> 01:37:04,506
- what happens? Repeat it?

Max q: Concrete

1950
01:40:20,508 --> 01:40:22,794
I'm sitting in a bar

1951
01:40:25,675 --> 01:40:29,873
staring at the universe
that's in my drink

1952
01:40:30,175 --> 01:40:33,008
the motion of my straw

1953
01:40:33,925 --> 01:40:38,669
is stirring anti-clockwise
in the glass

1954
01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:46,748
I recall the moments well

1955
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:50,872
and I raise my glass to you

1956
01:40:52,758 --> 01:40:55,795
you held me in your arms

1957
01:40:56,758 --> 01:41:00,876
and saved me from despair

1958
01:41:05,050 --> 01:41:08,167
as I'm older and more stupid

1959
01:41:10,883 --> 01:41:15,297
the years have etched
stupidity into my skull

1960
01:41:15,633 --> 01:41:19,046
I condemn my foolishness

1961
01:41:19,300 --> 01:41:22,918
and I raise my glass to you

1962
01:41:27,425 --> 01:41:31,168
yeah, the world is packed
with murderers and madmen

1963
01:41:32,925 --> 01:41:38,170
they promise us
a slow, slow death

1964
01:41:38,383 --> 01:41:41,170
those who torture with a smile

1965
01:41:41,425 --> 01:41:45,748
I don't like their idea
of business at all...
