Seemingly the only reviews or upvotes were by INXS's 30 or 40 remaining die hard fans. The bigger question is just how desperate was the band, which included a brother of the late singer.
The singer killed himself despite, or because of, several years of success and hit albums. Then followed almost a decade of the public ignoring them. What a way to "honor" him, find a replacement after. Never mind that he was not just the frontman but the main writer.
So what is the show but bad karaoke...and guess who the band chose? An Elvis impersonator. Seriously...
So how did this replacement work out? The band's label dropped them after a failed album. He was then fired two years later for drug problems. But both the band and new singer were desperate enough to bring him back for a small number of occasional shows for two more years before kicking him out again.
And then the band made a miniseries to try to cash in one more time. Not since The Jenny Jones Show was sued for its role in one talk show guest murdering another has a TV show sunk so low.
