Despite all the denials and rumours coming out of management of INXS. Michael Jackson is definitely going to perform with them on tour later this year.

Michael has joined forces in Melbourne with long time friends Plasta Masta and Kylie Image, and a number of well known and respected performers and song writers.

They've been recording a CD at the power place studios and will do some remixing of tracks at Rhinocerous Studios in Australia. And of course some remixing will be done in Los Angeles pub scene as well. "We want a pub sound to this music" Kylie said "and with all the restrictions on driving after a few quiet ales with ya mates we might not be so lucky, lucky,lucky, in the lucky country, and in America the cops don't hassle us white's much eh Mick".

While theAlbum has been kept quiet, Michael or Tricky Micky as he is referred too in the band says that he can't wait to see his fans reaction, and he hasn't been this excited over a new album since he dressed up as Diana Ross and performed in the charity concert to "Free Big Willy". INXS manager Barry Jones has told that its a shame that Princess Di , Michael Hutchence and Marc Hunter wouldn't be able to make the opening nights release on account of they're not living nearby, and Lady Di doesn't own a car anymore.

A band name hasn't been chosen as yet for the new line up. An international competition will be held later in the year for a name. Management says they plan on seeing how sales go before they tell anyone what to ask for in the record stores. One idea of Kylies' was to have a blank cover and with a magnet on the back and you could use it as a note book on the fridge door. Michaels title suggestion was to call it "The young boys are back in town" in reference to wonderland, and to honour that great band "Thin Lizards" "They were an inspiration to me" Mick said."I always listened to them before going out for a bit of a rumble with me mates and getting on the grog down at the cemetary. I used to come home with massive headaches and yellow eyes."

Everyone up to now has been has been keeping the recording of the new album hush hush, but i can tell you that among the tracks they're now working on are songs such as "Buckets on your head" a grass roots, country feel get your dog back kind of sound, and "I think i can see you house from here Kylie" a more soulful, gospel type of song with frequent harp solos as Mick struts his stuff in a stripped down gladiator suit borrowed from Cher.

"I'll never forget the concert that the former lead singer of INXS Michael Hutchence, vomited over the stage in a concert in Perth" a female fan told the local news reporter."There was a huge fan blowing his hair forward to hide the onset of his baldness. I was in the front row screaming with my girlfriends, and was flinging me mums undies up on stage, that i nicked off the line on my way out. Lucky for me my mums undies are those high elastic waisters and the fan blew them straight back in my face covering me from the vomit. Well i still passed out not being able to catch my breath but unlike all the fans next to me i was safe from Micks lunch. I only remember Michael standing over me and asking what it felt like. Mum was furious when i couldn't find her undies."

In which direction this new band goes is anyones guess, but you can bet the whole world will be watching.
