Lead singer of the band INXS, he committed suicide in a Sydney, Australia, hotel room in 1997. Handwritten working lyrics to the INXS song, ‘Big Go Go,’ penned by lead singer Michael Hutchence on an off-white 8 x 13 lightly-lined sheet. Hutchence writes out all four working verses, beginning “Watch the world Go–Go / It’ll spin till it stops / People going to fly off / When they turn it off / When we walk down the road / The rain plays games with our feet / Without care for the good news / I do hope its not too free (they say).” At the bottom of the page, Hutchence makes two musical arrangement notations. In very good condition, with scattered creases, a small hole to blank bottom area, a couple trivial edge tears, and scattered toning. This song was featured on the band’s 1982 album INXSive, released in Australia only. This would be the band’s last album on the DeLuxe label before moving to Polygram in hopes of global exposure.
