Fortune was bumming out about being fired from the Australian pop band in the middle of an airport, saying that he was dealing with the aftermath of the breakup by living out of his car and attempting to manage a raging coke problem.

The books claim to not only reveal how each frontman really died and the coverups involved, they promise shit-talking about the remaining members of INXS, postmortem gossip from Morrison paramour Pamela Courson and Hutchence babymama Paula Yates, and lots of cameos from other psychics who have Web sites.

Thu Nov 2 2006 by Brian Raftery

After last night’s episode of Lost, it looks as though Bob Dylan, Michael Hutchence and J.J. Abrams all have something in common–aside from letting their fans down, that is. Proof after the spoiler-avoiding click-through:
