INXS the famous Australian rock band, formed as The Farriss Brothers in 1977 in Sydney. For twenty years, they were fronted by Michael Hutchence on lead vocals, whose "sultry good looks" and magnetic stage presence made him the focal point of the band. Initially known for their New Wave/ska/pop style, they later developed a harder pub rock style,including funk and dance elements.
INXS achieved international success with a series of hit recordings through the 1980s and 1990s, including the singles "Original Sin", "Need You Tonight", "Devil Inside" and "New Sensation". To date INXS have sold more than 30 million records.
On 22 November 1997, Hutchence was found dead in his Sydney Ritz-Carlton hotel room. The autopsy ruled that Hutchence's death was a suicide while depressed and under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Despite the report, fans and relatives considered his death accidental.
"Never Tear Us Apart" is a single released in August 1988. It was also included on the band's sixth studio album, Kick. The music that was written by Andrew Farriss, is a sensuous ballad, layered with synthesizers and containing dramatic pauses before the instrumental breaks. Kirk Pengilly lends a cathartic saxophone solo near the end. The single reached #24 in the UK, and stayed on the charts for seven weeks. In the U.S., it reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100.
