SYDNEY -  

Australian rockers INXS are giving up touring after 35 years.
 
Drummer Jon Farriss announced the end of the band's remarkable run of performances during a concert in the West Australia city of Perth earlier this week.
 
The band later confirmed the news in a statement.
 
INXS was formed in 1977 and released their self-titled debut album in 1980.
 
They achieved worldwide fame with hits such as "New Sensation," "Need you Tonight," and "Devil Inside."
 
Frontman Michael Hutchence died in 1997. In a statement Tuesday, the band paid tribute to their friend, saying: "We lived for each other in the trenches and we loved each other.
 
It was the six of us against the world and then suddenly and inexplicably we were but five. "
