What a sad story.
I didn't really know the details of Michael's life -- just the broad strokes painted in the covers of the tabloids and MTV. I liked their music and Don't Change is one of my top favorite songs of all time.
Hutchence, like a lot of famous people, was exploited. This seems to happen over and over again with musicians. They are so young when they start out and there are predators whose sole goal is to make money off of their talent and abilities. They are surrounded by sycophants. In a way Hutchence's life and times remind me a bit of Kurt Cobain.
To learn of the nature of his injuries from the accident and how it seems his life eventually spirals out of control toward its inevitable conclusion is heartbreaking. That being said, the documentary ends wonderfully in a surprisingly uplifting manner.
This is worth watching.
