Elegantly Wasted

Elegantly Wasted is the tenth studio album by the Australian alternative rock band INXS. It was released on 15 April 1997, and is the final album recorded with lead singer Michael Hutchence, who was found dead in a Sydney hotel room on 22 November that year. The band had spent April 1996 rehearsing in London, and moved over to Vancouver, Canada to record with Bruce Fairbairn in December that year. Production of the album was completed by Hutchence and Andrew Farriss in Spain by February 1997. Two songs that did not make the final cut of the album were included on the Bang the Drum EP (2004).
