A new supernatural romantic drama features one of INXS' most enduring songs - and the Australian rockers have re-edited a live performance of the track to tie into the film.
The group released on Valentine's Day the "In Between edit" of "Never Tear Us Apart" - the smoldering ballad from 1987's blockbuster Kick - combining footage from the film (recently released to Paramount+) with clips from the band's 1991 live set at Wembley Stadium in London. The subject matter of The In Between - a teenage girl (Joey King) seemingly receiving messages from a boyfriend (Kyle Allen) who recently died in an accident - makes a song like "Never Tear Us Apart" a fitting choice for the soundtrack.

Powered by the late Michael Hutchence's emotional vocals, shimmering synths, blues-y guitar and a wailing sax solo for the ages, the song became Kick's fourth Top 10 hit in America, peaking at No. 7.
