INXS
INXS emerged when 2 groups joined forces in the West Australian city of Perth in 1977. The classic line-up of founding members consisted of lead vocalist Michael Hutchence, three brothers: Andrew, Tim and Jon Farriss, Gary Beers and Kirk Pengilly. In 1978, the band relocated to Sydney. There, INXS hit the pub circuit. By 1980, the group was signed to a label and had issued a debut album. That year, "Just Keep Walking" became the first INXS single to reach the Top 40.
The early 1980s saw more chart entries, including "The One Thing", "Stay Young", "Don't Change" and the Australian #1 "Original Sin". 
By 1985, INXS had gained popularity in America, resulting in Top 10 hits there such as "What You Need", "Devil Inside", "New Sensation", "Never Tear Us Apart" and the US #1 "Need You Tonight". The latter peaked at #2 in Britain.
INXS had become one of the top groups in the world, entering the 1990s with further chart success via singles that included "Suicide Blonde", "Bitter Tears" and "Beautiful Girl". Hutchence had been involved in side project Max Q. His relationships began to be regular fixtures in the tabloids, first with Kylie Minogue and then with Paula Yates, who was still married to Bob Geldof at the time. 
On November 22, 1997, Hutchence was found dead in his Sydney hotel room. The cause of death was ruled as hanging. INXS has since struggled without its charismatic frontman. Among replacements have been Terence Trent D'Arby, Jon Stevens and J.D. Fortune. There has been talk of an INXS musical being in the works for several years.
