“I’ve loved this band since I was a kid, I have not stopped singing these songs since I was a kid, and it’s a blessing for me to just share this again…”
From Release: INXS fans, get ready – the Original Rockstar (and former INXS Frontman), JD Fortune will finally return to Australian stages for his first ever headline tour this October with his band to perform the Best of INXS! Like many others, Canadian born vocalist JD Fortune grew up as a kid in the 1980’s worshipping the timeless, svelte Pop Funk of INXS. As he later said to Rolling Stone Magazine, “I wanted to be Michael Hutchence, he was just so damn cool’’. Fastrack to 2005, life became surreal for Fortune as he rose to international fame as the winner of the reality show, Rock Star: INXS. For 7 years from 2005 to 2011, JD fronted INXS and sang on their final studio album, ‘Switch’ and now JD is ready to reconnect with Australia and the music that changed his life.
We caught up with JD to talk about his return to Australia, INXS (all sorts of questions), set lists, what he’s up to now, and so much more…
