Michael Hutchence's half-sister Tina is speaking candidly about the INXS rocker's final years and his 'combustible' relationship with Paula Yates.
In an interview with The Project on Tuesday night, the 70-year-old claimed Michael began his downward descent after being 'vilified' for appearing to break-up Paula's marriage to Sir Bob Geldof.
'It was shocking, that's when he really started to fall apart', Tina told the program while promoting her new book, Michael: My Brother, Lost Boy of INXS.

TV presenter Paula first began dating Boomtown Rats rocker Bob in 1976.
They married in 1986, before Paula left Bob in 1995 - a move which generated a tabloid storm.
The following year she gave birth to Michael's only child, daughter Tiger Lily, now 22, whose full name is Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof.

'Vilified': To some, Michael was seen as having broken up the marriage of Bob and Paula. He is pictured in 1997
Speaking on Tuesday night's episode of The Project, Tina agreed with interviewer Lisa Wilkinson's assertion that Bob was seen a 'saint in everyone's eyes' after the marriage split.
Tina believes that the public 'vilification' of Michael, in combination with a possible brain injury he sustained from a skull fracture several years earlier, was the cause of his spiral.
She recalls speaking to him in the months before his death, where he confided in her: 'It's kind of tough lately. It's hard, life is hard'.

Elsewhere in the interview, Tina remembered baby Tiger Lily as a 'docile little infant who slept all day'.
In order to be aroused, she claimed the newborn 'had to be held under lukewarm and then cold running water'.
When asked that was, Tina replied: 'She was being breastfed and I think she was getting whatever Paula was taking, and I don't know what Paula was doing'.

She was then quizzed on whether she thought Paula was taking drugs after the birth, to which she replied: 'Absolutely, yes'.
Tina has tried for fifteen years - without success - to have a relationship with niece Tiger Lily, who is now 22.
Last year, she pleaded for Tiger Lily to reach out to her, saying: 'I wish I were part of your life'.
Following both Michael and Paula's deaths in the 1990s, she was raised by Bob along with her three-half sisters.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
