Back to EpisodesLife on the Road with INXS; Sue Dee's Untold Stories
Description
On this week's episode of Listen Like Fans, Bee is joined by Sue Dee, a dedicated INXS fan since first seeing INXS perform as support for Adam & the Ants way back when they toured the US together in the Spring of 1983.
Since seeing this chance performance, Sue Dee has followed INXS through multiple tours, album releases and lead frontmen changes. Through thick and thin, Sue Dee has seen it all. Highlights from a career following the band include getting backstage and posing for pictures in a flag dress with Michael, joining Mary Woods's fan club, and connecting with other fans through the INXS pen pal service.
Sue Dee shares some great stories from her years following the band on tour - from sharing bedrooms with Michael (he was a gentleman!), backstage parties, being with the band on the tour bus and getting banned after items of INXS stage clothing went missing! So close was Sue Dee to the band that she was lucky to get an advance listening of Mystify!
Eventually, Sue Dee connected with Bee some 10 years ago via the old Hutch Nation Facebook page. A close friendship formed, and after lots of messages to and fro, they eventually discovered that we were both in attendance at the same gig in 1986 at the Birmingham Odeon.
Sadly, Sue Dee lost some of her treasured INXS collection in a house fire 5 years ago, but her memory of those times spent watching and following INXS still shines bright. We're delighted to have Sue Dee's continued support and to have her share her recollections on Listen Like Fans.
