JD Fortune Shares His Riches With Us - Pretty Vegas and Drift Away
Two songs from JD Fortune - Pretty Vegas - written during the filming of Rock Star: INXS and JD's Solo Song Drift Away
Rock Star: INXS
Fortune was living in his car, under a bridge, when he applied for and was selected as a contestant on CBS's TV show Rock Star: INXS. On September 20, 2005, after an eleven-week televised audition process, Fortune won and joined INXS
INXS, with Fortune, released their album Switch in November 2005. Three singles from the album were released over the next twelve months including the track "Pretty Vegas" which was co-written by Fortune and INXS's Andrew Farriss, amongst others. The week of February 25, 2006, "Pretty Vegas" reached its highest charting at Number 7 on the Billboard Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks.
On February 16, 2009, Fortune revealed in an interview with Entertainment Tonight Canada that INXS fired him from the band with a handshake at a Hong Kong airport. Fortune admitted to heavy cocaine use during the latest INXS tour and acknowledged that his drug habit had likely contributed to INXS's decision. Fortune stated he had been off cocaine for the past 2 years; at the time, he was living out of his car and had put all his remaining money into his solo album The Death of a Motivational Speaker. Former INXS manager and now record company head Chris Murphy responded at the time by saying that Fortune had never been fired by the band, but that the band was reluctant to continue working with him because of the drug-use allegations.
