Australian rock band INXS formed in 1977. They started out playing covers in pubs, then released their self-titled debut album in 1980 and began achieving international recognition. In 1987, they released their sixth studio album, Kick. The album was certified platinum six times. After the death of lead singer Michael Hutchence in 1997, the band took a year off from public performances. They then toured and recorded with guest artists. In 2002, a remastered 25th anniversary edition of Kick was released. It included a DVD, three CDs, stickers, a hardback book, and other bonus materials. On November 11, 2012, INXS announced their performance at Perth Arena would be their last.
