Should mention membership/participation in Max Q. --Daniel C. Boyer 01:14, 11 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Whose pocket got the heroin from Paula Yates? Please answer

Was it Rhett Hutchence or Michael Hutchence? The article does not soecify. Zengalileo (talk) 23:28, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistent information

There's something inconsistent. The article is categorized in Burials at Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Hollywood Hills), which is an American graveyard. Now, how is it compatible with the fact that he was dead in Sydney, Australia and, most of all, as the inscription on his cenotaph in Sydney reads, his ashes were scattered in January 1998? -- SERGIO aka the Black Cat 00:29, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that his ashes were reinterred in November 1999 in Forest Lawn... he is definitely buried there, his grave and a plaque are in the park. Richard3120 (talk) 01:59, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Richard3120:, are you sure it's not just a cenotaph? The plaque reads that the ashes were scattered, how can one reinterrate scattered ashes? -- SERGIO aka the Black Cat 14:15, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why would they bother to put a memorial on the other side of the world if he wasn't buried there? Why not put memorials to all famous actors and rock stars? It's quite possible that his ashes were separated and some of them scattered in Australia and the rest buried in California - this frequently happens, that ashes are scattered in different locations. Richard3120 (talk) 15:28, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just reading a bit more about it... apparently his ashes were divided into three parts, one third for his father, one third for his mother, and one third for his partner Paula Yates. His father's portion are the ashes that were scattered in Australia; his mother's portion are the ashes buried in Forest Lawn. Richard3120 (talk) 15:32, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Richard3120: Ok, thanks. -- SERGIO aka the Black Cat 22:59, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You have a point though, this should be made clearer in the article. But there doesn't seem to be much in the way of reliable sources about this – just personal blogs, and FindAGrave.com, which is not considered a reliable source for use on Wikipedia.
