INXS honours late members and unveils new projects at reunion event



Australian rock band INXS, known for hits like “Need You Tonight” and “New Sensation,” made a rare reunion this week in Sydney to mark the launch of their new projects. Surviving band members Garry Gary Beers, Kirk Pengilly, and brothers Andrew, Jon, and Tim Farriss gathered at the Intercontinental Hotel to celebrate the release of their latest ventures, including the new book “Calling All Nations,” a collaborative effort between the global fan base and the band.

The event, which marked their first public appearance since 2017, was filled with nostalgia and memories as the members flipped through old photographs and reflected on their journey. The book, “Calling All Nations,” serves as a testament to the enduring connection between the band and their fans, highlighting shared experiences and heartfelt interactions from their iconic tours.

During the reunion, the band members discussed their earlier struggles and the impact of their music on people’s lives, emphasizing the value of their fanbase’s support throughout their career. Bass player Beers shared fond memories of their humble beginnings, recalling instances where the band relied on the generosity of fans during their early days.

Alongside the book release, INXS also unveiled additional projects, including the “All Juiced Up – Part 2” vinyl collection and the 30th-anniversary edition of “Full Moon Dirty Hearts,” both set to hit shelves soon.

The event was also an opportunity for the band to honor late members Michael Hutchence and Chris Murphy, reminiscing about their contributions to INXS’s success. When questioned about the possibility of a live performance, the band expressed openness to the idea, although they acknowledged the challenges posed by Tim Farriss’s past hand injury.

Amid the celebration, Universal Music Australia president Sean Warner surprised the band with global awards recognizing four billion streams, accompanied by a poignant Indigenous design dedicated to the late Michael Hutchence. The reunion showcased the enduring legacy of INXS and the profound impact they’ve had on the music world.
