For seven years, J.D. Fortune toured the world as the charismatic frontman of the Australian rock band INXS after winning the CBS reality television series Rock Star: INXS against 50,000 other singers worldwide, replacing the late Michael Hutchence. Together they recorded Switch, their first studio album with Fortune, and the only album with new INXS material after the death of Hutchence. It went multi-platinum and Fortune’s co-write “Pretty Vegas” was INXS’s highest debut single ever on the Billboard charts.
