INXS Drop New Singer Like A Hot Potato

Text

I was in an airport at Hong Kong and literally got a handshake. They said: `Thank you very much` - JD Fortune said.

The new INXS singer, who was chosen by band members on a reality TV show “Rockstar: INXS”, is allegedly on the verge of bankruptcy, he has a drug addiction problem and lives in his car in Canada. Everything began when the band members left him at the Hong Kong airport.

- I was in an airport at Hong Kong and literally got a handshake. They said, 'Thank you very much' - JD Fortune told the Canadian Entertainment Tonight, adding he felt lonely afterwards, because he spent nearly two years touring with the band.

- I don't know where I am going from sofa to sofa, from night to night. I am trying to get through my life – Jason Dean was hones, who believes that he was kicked out of the bank because of his cocaine addiction.

JD Fortune filled the void for a while, which remained after the timely loss of legendary INXS singer Michael Hutchence in 1997. Before him,  Jon Stevens had the job, who performed with INXS for three years, but he never recorded anything new. He now advises JD to find a good lawyer because of the way he was kicked out of the band.

Band members Kirk Pengilly and Layne Beachley did not wish to comment on the case, or their spokesperson.
