Aussie band. Uber hot lead singer. Catchy dance-ish tunes. "New Sensation", "Need You Tonight", "Devil Inside", etc. Exploded on MTV...87ish...with the release of the "Kick" album.
Their collective star started to slump. Hot lead singer, aka Michael Hutchence, started living a tabloid life after being named in the divorce of Bob Geoff. Collective star slumped further. Release of "Elegantly Wasted" circa 1996-ish. Hutchence found dead shortly after release in Aussie hotel room. Method of death was hanging by belt. He happened to be nude at the time, which lead to lots of speculation on whether he killed himself or if he was playing auto-asphixiation. Band minus charasmatic frontman equals further slump into oblivion until the reality show to find a replacement singer.
