More Michael Hutchence More Michael Hutchence

The family of Michael Hutchence have slammed Channel Seven's recent documentary, Michael Hutchence: The Last Rockstar, and the lawyer embroiled in the recent Paradise Papers leak, Colin Diamond.

As TV Tonight reports, the late frontman's brother, Rhett Hutchence, took aim at Diamond on ABC's Four Corners and in a lengthy Facebook post, questioning how Diamond managed to obtain some of Hutchence's personal belongings, including a diary and song lyrics.

"Everything of Michael's in the room of the hotel was taken two days later by Colin Diamond," Hutchence told Four Corners.

"None of that stuff has ever been released to the family."

In the Facebook post shared on Monday, Hutchence skewered the documentary, which failed to draw audiences.

"Thank you for duping my family into unveiling my brother Michael's private photos and family footage," the post reads.

"It brought home memories of those times we had peace of mind. And thanks also, for allowing me, and the world to see for the first time in decades, my brothers personal possessions, and ever, his private thoughts and notes.

"Your program got me feeling emotional, then sickened, before loathing set in. So you are aware, the Hutchence family hated it. Your Last rock star told soo [sic] many lies, major mistakes and fallacies, that it was disturbing and painful to watch."
