It was on BBC Two lastnight. A feature length documentary on the life & unraveling of a rockstar. Catch it on the iPlayer. Some fantastic film footage, including a whole section on his relationship with Kylie!

You should probably clarify not that "kind" of footage though I have to say I always found INXS incredibly mediocre.

There is some V candid film of him & her on the Orient Express with Kylie narrating💋

Never saw the appeal of this band, recall at the time the labels were desperately looking for the next U2/Simple Minds and the logic I constantly heard were that inxs were “huge in Australia “ which clearly didn’t necessarily equate to them being any good ( see also Midnight Oil!) . But he was a good looking charismatic guy and they hit a support slot on some of Queens 86 stadium gigs so looks and charisma (to me) triumphed over the fact they simply weren’t very bloody good . Saw them on the Wembley show and they were eminently forgettable, very much eclipsed by the Alarm who also opened, and who wiped the floor with them .

Watched this a few weeks ago, The band had one hit album "kick" and it was downhill musically from there. Michael Hutchence wanted to change the bands direction going for a grunge sound but the band wouldn't agree to it. By the time they released the album X I think the fan base had moved on and they were has-beens. His life seemed to change after a couple of accidents and he became more famous for his relationships than anything achieved musically. All a bit sad in the end, I am sure drugs turning up in a smarties tube at his house was a plant by Geldof to stop Paula and Hutchence from taking the kids abroad. And then both of them dying in a short space of time was a bit tragic.

Just watched it wasn't bad.
Hutchene should of been the 80s Jim Morrisson, unfortunately didn't have the songs to pull it off.

They came on the wave of the Australian bicentenary in 88, along with £@#&!n Neighbours!(See also the national obsession with scoucers in 84(Brookside)& all things Irish in the early 90’s) Anyway, I b!%dy love this. Definitely a Desert Island Disk...
