There is a full body pic of Michael posing with cricketer Shane Warne in a Warne autobiography I have. Hutchence is an inch taller and Warne is listed at 6' at cricinfo! Indeed, if you google "Shane Warne height", you get mostly 6' but the odd 5'11" listing. Looking at him compared to other cricketers, and also having met him once, I believe 5'11" is close to the truth. Hutchence has a *slight* footwear advantage in the pic but I find it very hard to see him below 5'11"! I'm 5'10 1/2" and Warne is taller than me.

5' 10" right in front of me at Toad's Place in New Haven Ct. in the summer of '83. I got him to sign some cheat sheet lyric sheets he had taped to the floor on their last tour with him. 5' 10" again. Hallucinate...dessegregate..mediate..alleviate...try not to hate. "I can't remember those lyrics to save my life".

I'll post again - From seeing alot of INXS and knowing members heights to be from 5'7"-5'9.5" I'd say Michael's 5'11".

I think 5'11" was more accurate than 5'10" for Michael as he had 4" on Andrew Farriss who is roughly 5'7" and was noticably taller than the remaining 5'8"-5'9" Farriss', Pengilly and Beers. He usually wore boots but so did the other members so taking into consideration footwear, 5'11" does appear more accurate. His sister's report is hardly much to go by.

Back in the day, I saw INXS at least a dozen times live in concert. I even got backstage once and met Michael. 5'10" sounds about right - he probably weighed all of 160lbs at most. He was very thin in person and did have long legs in comparison to his torso, so I can see why people would think he was taller than he really was. I loved him, what a shame and tragedy his life was vut short.

I'm quite surprised that michael was only about 5'10 he appeared to be much taller on screen.I thought he was a 6 footer easily.The tight pants he would wear made him look very leggy too assuming he was a very tall guy.

i remember interview in smash hits,he said he was 5 eleven and a half...sounds a bit "creative",doesnt it?

I read in a magazine years ago that he was 5`11. there was this Roger Corman movie with him and John Hurt and Michael wasn´t much taller, and I always thought John Hurt wasn´t above 5`9. Michael was 5`10 or a little bit over that.
He was the tallest INXS member, or the second one after Kirk Pengilly. Depends on the photo.
In a fashion magazine they said he was short. We will have to see pictures of him next to Helena Christensen, the model, who went out with him.
Great band INXS. Used to love them

...I'm very surprised, wasn't he the tallest in INXS?... I always thought he must be 6"4', T.V. made him appear much taller...

From MichaelHutchence.info:
His sister Tina said: "Most people assumed he was quite tall, but I never thought about it...my son Brent is 6ft - and Michael was not as tall as Brent. So to me he was not tall. I had to look at family photographs to see that Michael was about 5'10"
