INXS have posted a five-minute behind-the-scenes video of the making of their video for 1987’s “Never Tear Us Apart," which has been viewed over 100 million times.
The band’s Andrew Farriss says, “I wanted to do something that was very different than what we were doing before,” adding that singer Michael Hutchence “thought it was funny because for us it’s so different. I don’t think he took it all that seriously. And then when he took the tape away and listened to it he came back, he said, ‘I love that. Whatever you’re doing is great.’”
And Hutchence, through an archival interview, commented on filming the video in Prague. “The spirit of the people there is fantastic, that’s what I loved, it really makes you appreciate what you have so much.”
“Never Tear Us Apart” was the fourth single off of 1987's Kick, peaking at number-seven on the Billboard Hot 100.
