INXS Fire Singer J.D. Fortune for the Second Time

Fortune was first sacked in February 2009. He told NME of his unceremonious departure from the band: "I was in an airport in Hong Kong and literally got handshakes that said 'Thank you very much.'"
Fortune began performing with the band again in 2010 after a stint during which he reportedly lived in his car. The singer once more finds his, yep, fortunes down after the band has dismissed him once more, this time without even the small courtesy of a handshake. The band posted a new song, 'Tiny Summer,' on their official website with a mystery singer at the helm.
Fortune wrote on his twitter last month "As of now I have not been invited to be a part of INXS's new music." The band is expected to reveal the mystery singer's identity in the coming week, the Herald Sun reports.

INXS is my fave band of all time..i just seen footage of that new guy on youtube.... Where did they find that ugly freak? Hutch was gorgeous and amazing! His stage presence,his vocal range and what sex appeal! JD was cute and had that same swagger.He may have been a douche but JD did Michael justice. This new guy has no charisma or attitude. I was cringing watching this. like shake your hips/butt or something and seduce the crowd! . No personality. Imagine this guy singing TASTE IT or NOT ENOUGH TIME. >shudders<

Plus of course that drug addict is gonna spin this story to sound better for him. But he really isnt that talented. He won a reality show and he does a good MH impression. INXS shoulda quit 20 years ago. But someone's gotta finance the lavish lives of the Ferris family. So they beat a 4 times dead horse...again and again and again...its really quite pathetic to watch. Shabooh Shoobah was such a great album.
