The Rider with Becko and Tim Farriss from INXS
Manage episode 330734822 series 3287493
As Season 2 of The Rider kicks off, it feels right to invite another member of INXS to tell his story - Tim Farriss.
INXS at their peak were the biggest band in the world, but this didn't happen by accident. It was pure hard work and constant touring. You had the winning formula of a tight band: Jon, Andrew, Tim, Kirk and Garry with lead-singer perfection up front - Michael Hutchence.
Chris Murphy as Manager was pivotal to the success of the band. Not just back then, but even today with INXS songs regular appearing in the charts. He knew they had skill and talent but above all, the right work ethic. Tim reveals how Chris reached out to him before his death and sadly never got to say goodbye.
We'll talk about their greatest gig, Wembley 'Summer XS', how he's coping with not being able to play guitar, was there any consultation in the decision to call it quits in Perth in 2012, and how they got the news about the loss of Michael in 1997.
It's one of the most honest chats Tim Farriss has ever had.
This is the Rider with Becko, with Tim Farriss from INXS.
