this is a very weird combination, and they are doing a TON of dates... i agree with JPB, i don't think Scott had much say in this. My guess is Wind-Up is pissed that the cd didn't go diamond and they've pretty much given up on him like they've done with so many others
. I think they see INXS as a band who recently had lots of public attention and would see an increase in concert attendance so sticking Scott in there as the opening act he might get more sales :S, and it might also cost them less compared to if he were headlining.
personally i think this is terrible, and would just leave after Scott left the stage haha. but i don't have to worry about that since they're not coming to Toronto!.... come on now... who comes to Canada and doesn't stop in Toronto??
