In 1997, just two months after the death of Princess Diana, INXS singer Michael Hutchence was found hanged in a posh Sydney hotel room . His death ended almost two decades of the singer being in the spotlight – first as the charismatic INXS frontman , then as a major paparazzi target following his affair and then marriage to British TV host Paul Yates . This Sunday night Channel 7 will air INXS: Never Tear Us Apart , the first band-sanctioned miniseries about the rise and fall of the group and Hutchence, starring Luke Arnold as Hutchence.
