TORONTO, Feb. 5 (UPI) -- A new Mark Burnett reality show has held auditions in Toronto looking for a fresh face to front the 1980s Australian band INXS.
"I'm here to become the new lead singer of INXS," Randy Robertson told the Toronto Sun as he stood in line outside the Mod Club. "I've always dreamed of being a rock star."

Robertson was one of a several hundred people who waited hours Friday to audition for the band.
The band lost its front man, Michael Hutchence, to suicide in 1997 and has tried several guest vocalists.
"This is the only chance in the world I've got because I'm too old for 'Canadian Idol,' " said Robertson, a singer from the Maritimes bar circuit. "It's the truth, this is my last chance to be a rock star."
