The brother of former INXS frontman Michael Hutchence is selling a 17-year-old fax sent from the star to his then-girlfriend Kylie Minogue on eBay.

Patricia Glassop, his mother, has disowned Rhett Hutchence for allegedly trying to cash in on the dead singer’s private belongings. Rhett Hutchence is said to be “selling the star’s memory on eBay”, including an original sketch penned by Michael Hutchence and one of his t-shirts.

Rhett Hutchence, who in 2004 released a book detailing the early days of INXS and his brother’s rise to fame, had written a “tasteless sales pitch” about the fax.

“This is a fax Michael wrote and sent to Kylie on September 19, 1990. I have a similar, yet raunchier one I”ll keep, yet this real slice of history could be yours,” the pitch says.

Ms Glassop said she was upset her son was selling the personal fax from Hutchence to pop princess Minogue.”That was one of the worst things because that was private,” she said. “I hope Kylie finds out and addresses the issue herself, because that fax is no-one else’s business.”

The move has prompted Ms Glassop to disown her only surviving son. “Rhett’s gone too far this time,” she said. “After this I don’t know who he is. But I do know he’s not my son any more.”
