In the highlight from 'Behind The Hits - Michael Hutchence: INXS' we find out about the most challenging era of their career. INXS was a household name in the 80s and early 90s. However, in 1992, the band decided to change direction with their album "Welcome To Wherever You Are." The album was a departure from their previous sound, and although it reached No.1 in the UK and No.2 in Australia, it only peaked at No.16 in America. Their next record, "Full Moon Dirty Hearts," was released during the peak of the grunge era and shed even more fans. During this time, INXS staged the Concert for Life in Sydney, a charity event that received backlash from the press for its perceived extravagance. INXS member Kirk Pengilly spoke about the event, saying it was a taste of the classic Australian Tall Poppy Syndrome after their major international success.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
