The on-again, off-again relationship between INXS and frontman/reality show winner J.D. Fortune continues as the band this week announced the singer “will again join” the rockers for a major outdoor concert at the Sucrogen Townsville 400 auto race this summer in Queensland, Australia.
The remaining members of INXS this week released a new 16-track digital-only best-of called ‘Platinum: Greatest Hits’ that will appeal to diehard fans mostly for the ample bonus it comes with: ‘Seriously Live,’ a 26-song double live album that spans the band’s 30-year career.
