Searching (INXS song)

It is also the final single to feature original lead vocalist Michael Hutchence, who died exactly two months after the song was released.

[1] Due to record company red tape, "Searching", the scheduled third single from Elegantly Wasted, was never commercially released.

Inevitably, a relatively small and unknown quantity of the discs had already been circulated thus making the singles very attractive collector’s items – especially as a complete set.

[2] As well as the new mixes of "Searching", the CD Singles included further live tracks from the Aspen show and two Acoustic performances at BBC Radio 1 of "I'm Just a Man" and "Never Tear Us Apart".

"Searching" was shot in San Francisco at the end of July 1997 and was, unusually, set to the 'Leadstation Radio Mix' of the song, not the album version.
