Hi Legend!

On this episode of Listen Like Fans — for the love of INXS, I’m catching up with the one and only JD Fortune while he’s here, on tour in Australia.

We take a trip back to his unforgettable INXS days, sharing memories, the behind-the-scenes stories, and reflecting on what it was like to step into the frontman role of one of Australia’s most iconic rock bands.

We chat about life on the road, the incredible connection between INXS and their fans, the legacy of the music and how those extraordinary years shaped JD as an artist.

But this conversation isn’t just about looking back. JD has also been busy creating new music, and he’s kindly shared a song with me that has never been released before, and I absolutely love it! We’ll talk about the inspiration behind it and what lies ahead for him musically. We will also share a clip of the track at the end.

It’s a relaxed catch-up filled with memories, music and a look at the man behind the microphone.

So, whether you’ve followed JD since his INXS days or you’re curious about what he’s up to now, join us for another conversation celebrating the stories and the music we love.

Hi Legend!

🎙️ This Week on Listen Like Fans – For the Love of INXS!

This week, I’m joined by Blair from Don’t Change – The Ultimate INXS Tribute Band, ahead of their two upcoming gigs on Australia's Central North Coast this weekend.

So while he was here, I picked him up from the airport and brought him back to the Bee Hive Studio. We chatted about all things INXS, the band, the music and a few unexpected discoveries along the way.

But there’s a twist to this story…

One of their upcoming gigs falls on the exact date INXS were originally scheduled to kick off their national Australian tour in 1997, a tour that, sadly, never happened. The venue: Woolongong!

And that’s not all! We uncover a tour book that was never released and stumble across a date that genuinely spooked us! both!

Coincidence? You be the judge! 👀

There’s plenty to uncover in this conversation, so come along for the ride and don't forget: https://www.dontchangeinxs.com/ might be coming your way sooner than you think.

The stories and the music. The memories and the magic.

🎧 Tune in and check it out!

Hi Legend!

Lisa Mac — A Story of Fandom, Friendship & Strength ❤️🖤

This episode is available to watch on Patreon for all $10 Backstage Legends memberships and above.

A few weeks ago, while I was on the Gold Coast to see the incredible Elegantly Wasted ballet, I caught up with lifelong INXS fan Lisa Mac for a very special chat.

Lisa shares her love of INXS, her cancer journey, and the incredible support she received from Kirk Pengilly and the INXS fan family during a difficult time. She wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who reached out and supported her.

We also talk about Elegantly Wasted, fandom, friendship and the stories behind the music. ❤️

Elegantly Wasted keepsake 🖤🎭

I have a limited number of Elegantly Wasted ballet booklets available for INXS fans.

If you’d like one, simply send your name and postal address to Listen Like Fans. The booklet is free; I’ll just need to work out postage and packing, and let you know the cost.

A lovely little piece of the Elegantly Wasted story to keep. 🖤
