Def Leppard 1992.
June 1992

Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott was photographed with Michael Hutchence of INXS at an event in London in June 1992.

Today marks 19 years since the INXS singer was found dead in his hotel room in Sydney, Australia aged 37.

The band had been about to start a 20th anniversary tour of Australia and New Zealand at the time.

Band members and their official Twitter account posted tributes earlier today.

Joe was photographed with Michael on 26th June 1992 at the Nordoff Robbins Silver Clef Awards show which took place at the InterContinental Hotel in London, England.

The same day as the opening night of their two shows at Earls Court Arena.

Def Leppard were awarded a Silver Clef award for outstanding contribution to British music.

INXS were initially formed as The Farriss Brothers in 1977, the same year Def Leppard formed.

The brothers were mentioned by Joe on his radio show last year when they attended one of the band's Australian shows (most likely in Sydney).

INXS/Australian Tour

"Now we often get visitations when we're in certain areas of the world and in Australia it's no different. And one bunch of people always like to come and visit are the Farriss brothers. Wonderful people. We love them as people. We loved 'em as a band and we really miss their singer who was of course Michael Hutchins ["Hutchence" Joe!...]. The band INXS."
