“All The Scars Are Mine: The Weight of Loss & Legacy in INXS” Bee with Chris McKay

Hi Legend!On this week's episode of Listen Like Fans, Bee is delighted to have Chris MaKay on the show, a longtime INXS fan.Chris has been fortunate enough to chat with band manager Chris Murphy and, thanks to his job as Chauffeur, talk INXS with Australian TV & Radio presenter Richard Wilkins, Film Director Baz Luhrmann, and a certain Mr Colin Diamond.Chris talks candidly about a self-imposed gig exile since attending Michael's funeral, and being convinced to see Andrew Farriss perform at one of his recent solo shows. It was here that two worlds would collide when Chris would meet "the blonde woman!" (Bee) for the first time and become fast and firm friends.He shares an emotional anecdote on meeting Chris Murphy when he shared a simple "thank you", shares his memories on being an eventual convert to seeing the INXS tribute band 'Don't Change", and the healing on hearing the music of INXS performed live has since brought.The healing process continued when Chris and Bee saw JD Fortune live (complete with a wardrobe malfunction!) and had a conversation with him in which JD was reflective and mature about his time with the band.Bee and Chris discuss the Rock Hall Nomination and what it means to be an Australian seeing an Australian band get into the Rock Hall, and they discuss plans to travel en masse to the USA to (hopefully!) see the guys get inducted!We're delighted to have Chris on Listen Like Fans and to share his journey from growing up listening to INXS, missing out on seeing INXS in 1997 and the 25+ year impact that had, to encouraging his children to carry the INXS flame.Make sure you check us out on Patreon - because there's a special competition running, where one lucky listener will win something very special. https://patreon.com/ListenlikeFans So sit back, turn it up, and Listen Like Fans.And don't be shy, leave us a comment.If you want to hear an episode dropped early or see more content, then please support Bee and the show- a BIG THANK YOU to all the Backstage Legends that help with the costs and the runnings.Become A Backstage Legend and join the INXS Fan Community https://www.patreon.com/cw/ListenlikeFans_fortheloveofINXSBackstageLegends Website: https://www.inxsaccessallareas.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/INXSaccessallareas
