An unauthorised biography of Michael Hutchence and INXS from one of Australia's most respected music commentators, Ed St John.
It's a story of how six suburban Sydney boys and a manager with something to prove achieved extraordinary international success, only to watch that success dissipate and die more quickly than it grew. It's a story of some great music and some inspiring performances. And it's a story of fame and celebrity, of adulation, gratification and pressure, and of what drives a man with everything to live for to die so young.
A classic 1980s to 1990s story: you burn brightly - and then you burn.
