Sunday Night: Feb 23

Buoyed by its interest in INXS and chart success, Seven will ‘f*** that puppy’ one more time (in the nicest possible way) with a Sunday Night special talking to Tim, Andrew and Jon Farriss, Kirk Pengilly, Garry Beers, and manager Chris Murphy.

Even the Today show has had to jump on the INXS bandwagon, a clear nod to Seven’s success.

No actors. No scripts. Back to where it began… with everyone.

Following the overwhelming success of the Channel Seven telemovie INXS: Never Tear Us Apart, join Sunday Night for an exclusive look into the INXS story through the eyes of those who lived it.

All five surviving members of the band sit down with reporter Rahni Sadler – the Farriss Brothers Tim, Andrew and Jon, Kirk Pengilly, Garry Beers, as well as manager Chris Murphy – to tell one of the greatest rock’n’roll stories of all time.

And nothing is off limits.

Each gives their candid and very personal account of how it all began, how they coped at the height of their fame and at the depth of their pain when friend and frontman Michael Hutchence died.

They open up about Michael’s love affairs, the drugs, the time an American record executive threatened to drop the band, and how they really feel about Kylie Minogue, Paula Yates, Sir Bob Geldof and Tiger Lily.

Featuring archived photographs and memorabilia plus never-before-broadcast home videos shot by the band while on tour, this is one extraordinary reunion not to be missed.

Sunday February 23 on Channel Seven at 7.40pm.
