In Ciaran Gribbin made the big move with his family from their hometown of Castledawson in Northern Ireland to Sydney Australia to join INXS as their singer and co-songwriter and has since toured extensively with them to much acclaim throughout South America, Europe and Australia. With the band currently off the road this has given him the opportunity to continue his solo live and recording work and successful songwriting activities.
As a songwriter he co-wrote Madonna's Grammy nominated 'Celebration' and also wrote, recorded and produced all of the original songs for the Irish music-based comedy drama movie 'Killing Bono' starring Ben Barnes plus music for other movies.
When Ciaran Gribbin was unveiled as the new front man of rock band INXS in , the announcement was greeted with a global fanfare. T he story that the Castledawson man was to follow in the footsteps of the late and legendary Michael Hutchence made headline news not just in his native Northern Ireland and Australia, where the band originate from, but was picked up by the music press around the world. Introducing this 'new sensation' to the fans, INXS member Andrew Farriss, who co-wrote most of the band's hit singles, credited Ciaran for helping to "reignite a new creative spark".
The latest INXS incarnation got off to a promising start. The fans welcomed the new addition with open arms, the band's live performances garnered positive reviews and plans were put in place for a new album. So when INXS drummer Jon Farriss announced to the crowd at Perth Arena last November that the show was likely to be the band's last performance, it came as a bolt from the blue. As Ciaran was addressing the fans, Farriss took the microphone from him and broke the shock news.
The following day Ciaran took to Facebook to appeal to fans to be patient and await clarification. As the story gained momentum and took on a life of its own, founding members Andrew, Jon and Tim Farriss, Kirk Pengilly and Garry Beers released a statement, which read: "We understand that this must come as a blow to everybody, but all things must eventually come to an end.

Now, in an exclusive interview with the Belfast Telegraph, Ciaran speaks for the first time about what really happened within the INXS camp and sets the record straight about the 'split'. We were doing the tour with Matchbox Twenty and it was going really well. It was a wonderful tour, playing in big venues like Sydney Entertainment Centre, to crowds of 12, to 14, people.
Then on the last night at the Perth Arena, I was talking about it being the 25th anniversary of the band's album Kick and introducing the guys. Jon walked on stage, took the mic and said "It's wonderful to be here", before going on to say that INXS would not be touring any more.
The media put two and two together and got four and next thing the story was out there, that INXS had called it a day. They announced they weren't going to tour any more.
