JD Fortune to appear at INXS Olympic gig
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 11 February 2010
The original INXS guys seem to be on talking terms with their one time frontman JD Fortune again – or, at least, he is due to appear with them at their gig alongside the Winter Olympics in Vancouver later this month.
As previously reported, Fortune, who won the frontman role in INXS via a reality TV show, publicly complained that after the band’s last tour he was unceremoniously dropped during a conversation at an airport. But the band’s management denied any such dropping had occurred, though added that the rest of the band weren’t very impressed by Fortune’s comments and were considering finding a new singer as a result. Fortune, meanwhile, complained he was penniless having poured all his money into a solo album, and was living out of his car.
It’s thought Fortune will only make a cameo appearance at the Olympics show, which may well involve a number of singers, given the rest of INXS are reportedly working on a tribute album to original frontman Michael Hutchence featuring The Killers’ Brandon Flowers and Matchbox 20’s Rob Thomas among several others.
