Tragic Love In The 80s = 'Never Tear Us Apart' by INXS (1988)

Its Tragic Love In The 80s, so very tragic, like tragic magic returns again, and today presenting Aussie 80s legends INXS and their oh so tragic 1988 love track Never Tear Us Apart. The story of INXS actually was quite tragic for those who remember. INXS were an Australian rock band formed in 1977 by The Farriss Brothers out of Sydney, Australia and consisting of members Michael Hutchence (lead vocals), Garry Gary Beers (bass guitar), Andrew Farriss (guitars and keyboards), Jon Farriss (drums), Tim Farriss (guitar), and Kirk Pengilly (guitar and saxophone). Michael Hutchence was the lead singer and frontman for the band for over 20 years until his untimely death in 1997. Never Tear Us Apart was a single release off of the group's 6th studio album Kick and it would reach #7 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, #5 on the U.S. Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart, #24 on the UK Singles Chart, and #14 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart.
