 | | Pengilly, guitarist/saxophonist of INXS, the Australian rock band who made waves in The Gold Coast and beyond in the late 90s, was playfully referring to Mig Ayesa, the 35-year-old Filipino musician/actor who made it to the final list of the contenders of Rockstar: INXS, the newest Mark Burnett creation for Star World. |
 | | Born in Manila but raised in Sydney, Ayesa is one of the 15 aspiring rockstars vying to be the next frontman of Inxs, whose original singer Michael Hutchence was found dead at the Ritz Carlton Double Bay Sydney in 1997. |
 | | Fortunately, the remaining band members (Pengilly, Farris, Garry Beers, Andrew Farriss, and Jon Farriss) did not let grief and disappointment get the better of them, having lost not only a figurehead, but a close friend of 20 years as well. |
