The new INXS album, Elegantly Wasted, was released in April 1997. Hutchence and INXS went on a world tour. The final leg of the tour was to be in Australia in November and December. However, on the morning of November 22, 1997, Hutchence, aged 37, was found dead in his room at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Double Bay, Sydney (now the Stamford Plaza). A belt found at the scene suggested that he had died by hanging.
The Coroner of New South Wales determined that Hutchence's death was the result of suicide but analysis of the witness statements in the Coroner's report, the lack of a suicide note and other anecdotal evidence, such as the fact that Hutchence was found nude has led some - including some of Hutchence's closest relatives, including his brother - to suggest that the cause of death may have resulted from autoerotic asphyxiation.
Kym Wilson and her then boyfriend Andrew Reyment were the last people to see Michael alive. Kym later became known as the "Suicide Blonde", after one of INXS' hits, which was originally written for Kylie Minogue.
Michael Hutchence's coffin was carried out of St. Andrews Cathedral by members of the band and his younger brother Rhett. "Never Tear Us Apart" was played in the background. The song is now known to many original fans as his anthem.

Within a 10-year span, four of the remaining five Adkisson sons died premature deaths: David, 25 years of age, died in 1984 under circumstances that are still debated today. His cause of death was officially listed as acute gastroenteritis, but many believe, despite considerable evidence supporting the official cause, that he actually died of a drug overdose. Ric Flair implies this in his autobiography To Be The Man, stating that Bruiser Brody destroyed evidence pointing to an overdose. Mike died of a self-inflicted drug overdose in 1987 at the age of 23. He had apparently never completely recovered from a near-fatal bout with toxic shock syndrome, a condition very rarely seen in men, in 1985. Chris, depressed over his brothers deaths and his inability to excel as a wrestler, committed suicide in 1991 at the age of 21. Kerry, the most successful in the ring, also committed suicide in 1993 after well-documented substance abuse problems. He was 33 years old. Kevin is the only survivor of the Adkisson sons.

Ibrahim Seck is a French comedian and humorist of Senegalese origin born on August 28, 1938 in Thies (then in French West Africa, now in Senegal) and died in the same city. At the end of his career, Ibrahim Seck was unfortunately employed in the cinema in caricatured compositions like Benny Luke who plays the servant Jacob in the trilogy of "La cage aux folles". Then, the beginnings of Eric Blanc suggest that the French cinema will give consistent roles to black actors but inappropriate comments against Henry Chapier at a ceremony of the Cesars put an end to his career. It was not until the careers of Isaach de Bankolé in "Black Mic Mac", Mouss Diouf in the series "Julie Lescaut" or Omar Sy with the triumph of "Intouchables" that these "visible minorities" were represented to their true value. Ibrahim Seck died on August 20, 1997 in complete anonymity, in his native land of Thies in Senegal.
