When it was announced that INXS was now looking for a replacement lead singer after the tragic death of Michael Hutchence little did we know that CBS would get into the music reality show business. And so when Rockstar INXS debuted in the 2000's fans knew that this show would inspire INXS to make a comeback. But how did they survive without Michael Hutchence? The answer came in the form of Rockstar INXS winner JD Fortune and when he won the show people thought he was just what the doctor ordered for INXS. But why I think the show failed was because CBS had planned a series of Rockstar reality shows but it somehow never got off the ground but for some reason people expected the show to be a summer hit but it just wasn't meant to be. Where is JD Fortune doing now? We may never know the answer
