He is best known as the frontman of the Australian rock band INXS, which he joined after winning the first season of the CBS reality television series Rock Star: INXS in 2005, replacing the late lead singer Michael Hutchence. Fortune led INXS through a 2.5-year world tour supporting the release of the album Switch, the first studio album featuring Fortune and the only album with new INXS material after Hutchence's death.
