INXS have fired their frontman J.D. Fortune for the second time in two years.
The singer won his place in the band in 2005 after hus success in US Talent search Rock Star: INXS, but was kicked out of the band in 2009 and was forced to seek help for a drug addiction that was spiralling out of control.
Fortune was welcomed back by the Original Sin hitmakers as Michael Hutchence's permanent replacement in January, but the runion has been short lived as the singer recently revealed he had not been included in the plans for the band's new music.
He tweeted: ""As of now I have not been invited to be a part of INXS's (sic) new music."
According to Australia's Herald Sun newspaper, the existing members of INXS are expected to make a formal announcement about Fortune's replacement later this week.
