J.D. Fortune To Return Home for INXS Canadian tour
By: ChartAttack.com Staff
It's been over three years since INXS last played Toronto and with a Canadian in the band, J.D. Fortune, it's about time they come back. On February 7, 2006, INXS will make their return to Toronto with their North American Switched On tour. Fortune, the singer who replaced dearly departed Michael Hutchence via a reality TV show audition process, says "It's been four months and I can't wait to get back home."
After 32 episodes of the reality show Rock Star INXS, Fortune beat out 14 contestants. After spending time in the studio to record INXS' first album in eight years, Fortune and the band will head out on a 23 date North American tour, with two stops in Canada.
"I heard the show was really popular (in Canada) and I just hope that I didn't do anything to warrant any sort of, go f' yourself sort of attitude. Being from Canada was always on my mind and I just didn't want anything I did to reflect badly on the country," Fortune says.
Old friends and new fans are excited to have Fortune come back to visit his old hometown, Oakville. In fact, he's got a special message for his peeps at a local watering hole there called Mexicali Roses.
"Yeah, there's some people there I need to talk to and make amends with," Fortune tells us.
INXS' new album, Switched will hit stores November 29 and tickets for INXS' Toronto gig go on sale Saturday, October 15.
INXS Canadian tour dates:
· January 18 Vancouver, BC @ Queen Elizabeth Theatre
· February 7 Toronto, ON @ Massey Hall
