Jason Dean Bennison (born September 1, 1973), better known by his stage name J. D. Fortune is a Canadian rock singer, winner of the 2005 CBS reality television series Rock Star: INXS, and was the lead singer of Australian rock band INXS from 2005 to 2009. On 16 February 2009, JD revealed in an interview with Entertainment Tonight Canada that INXS fired him from the band with a shake of the hand at an airport in Hong Kong. Fortune acknowledges his drug habit is likely to have contributed to INXS` decision. The band is once again without a permanent frontman. JD is currently in Canada attempting to get his solo album out ("Death of a Motivational Speaker"). He said he`s been off cocaine for the past 2 years. However, in a recent interview, Fortune has admitted to heavy cocaine use during the latest INXS tour. INXS responded by saying that Fortune had never been fired by the band, but that the band now was reluctant to continue working with him.
