It was an incredible moment when two Aussie rock icons joined together on stage and thrilled fans with a stunning rendition of one of INXS‘s greatest hits.
On the weekend, Kiwi-Aussie musician Keith Urban, 57, jumped on stage and joined Andrew Farriss, 65, a founding member and songwriter for the iconic band, for a performance at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
The duo performed one of INXS’ most iconic tracks, Never Tear Us Apart, for the special performance.

The pair strummed on their guitars as they stood side-by-side to sing the hit.
“You never know what surprises are happening at the Opry,” an Instagram post about the duet was captioned.
Farriss and the late Michael Hutchence were said to be the main songwriters for INXS before Hutchence’s untimely death at the age of 37 back in 1997.

Two months ago, American country music star Lainey Wilson gushed about Urban and spoke about their friendship to 9honey Celebrity.
She not only praised his musical talents but called him a “good dude”.
“Keith Urban has become a dear friend and has given me some of the best advice. Every time I see him or run into him, he’s like, ‘Let me drop a load of wisdom on ya!'” she said with a laugh.
“But I tell you what, every time I leave his presence, I’m like typing in my phone, ‘Keith Urban said this…’ He’s full of wisdom and has had such a long incredible career.
“It’s clearly because of his talent and also because of who he is. He’s just a good dude and he loves country music, his fans.
“He gives it 190 per cent, he never half-arses anything, and that’s what I love about him.
“He’s going to continue sharing his gift until he can’t share it no more.”
