This is most about INXS' future. INXS didn't dump singer JD Fortune
March 02, 2009
INXS are putting the JD Fortune affair behind them and will not break up - and instead head into the studio this month to record a new project without a singer.
It also emerged yesterday that singer Fortune - who won a reality TV quest to join - was only ever on a one-album-one-tour contract which ended in December 2007.
Fortune generated global headlines 10 days ago when he claimed the band sacked and dumped him at Hong Kong airport when their two-year tour ended.
But the band's creative director and business manager Chris Murphy exclusively told Confidential yesterday it seemed he did so to attract attention for his unreleased solo album.
"The whole thing has been bizarre - he was basically a contractor and his contract had ended," Murphy said from Los Angeles. "Why is he suddenly complaining 14 months later?"
The band will now record what Murphy said would be "the most creatively energetic and exciting project since (1987's) Kick". "It will blow people's minds," he added.
Murphy would not elaborate on who would sing or whether guest vocalists would be used. Principal songwriters Andrew Farris and Garry Beers are currently in LA working on pre-production for the album, as are other members in Europe and Sydney.
Murphy was INXS's original manager but they parted in the early 1990s before Michael Hutchence died in 1997.
Murphy, who re-entered the fold a year ago, believed they lost focus in the ensuing years. "I always said 'passion first, money second,' and my job was to free them of all that business side of things," he said.
"In the past decade advice to them has been business, business, business - and one of the pleasures of my job is to keep that out of the way of their creativity."www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,25123194-5001026,00.html

I can't imagine any instramemental music being as exciting as Kick. I must say they've got my curiousity, but not necessarily my enthuseaum. The only way my mind would be blown is to put Michael's voice on it. But I doubt that would ever happen.

Funny you should say that Cathy, as I remember Tim saying on an interview on Max Masters that inxs have many recordings of Michael in their vaults , songs that have never been heard before. It would be nice to hear these one day, but I remember Tim or Kirk also saying that they probably wouldnt release them as they are too precious to them. I too am curious about this new project of theirs, what i would find really good is to have Kirk or Jon actually do vocals on the new album. Jon has a fantastic voice, found that out from the fanclub cd this year "Sixpack" . Would be interesting. Aussie

Murphy is right about bad decisions - horrendously bad decisions. If I were a fan that started following the "band" during Rockstar I'd be livid because of the lies. JD was never a new "brother", the band was never "complete again", they were all just following the dollars and the contracts that bought them those dollars.

I don't understand though how they wouldn't want to release them because they are 'too precious' to them. Why wouldn't they want to share more music with Michael, that so many would appreciate and enjoy? I think perhaps it really maybe just too painful for them to go into the studio to do it. Which I can understand. About the band just letting Jon and Kirk sing, I know there are fans that would think this would work. But I don't know...it always would seem like something is missing. But then again, I am a firstly a Michael fan ....

Whaaaat? Looks like he covered up those old tattoos he had on his forearms. Man, he's got to suck it up and do his own gig. I have to admit... I am curious about INXS' new studio work.

( I wish we had that little emoticon who is rolling over in laughter! ) I actually am not familiar with Perfect Stranges, but I've never liked any of the music on the b-sides sides that Garry and the others wrote.
