Pengilly says they didn\u2019t know back then that the album was going to be such a big success and even uses their own money to promote themselves. \u201cLive Baby Live at Wembley Stadium we shot that and paid for it ourselves, there\u2019s very few artists that actually have a film of themselves playing at Wembley Stadium\u201d When asked about the late Michael Hutchence they said there\u2019s not a day that goes by that they don\u2019t think about their friend.\u201cI missed him terrible, unfortunately people tend to zero in on the tragic towards the end of his life in fact Michael is a very funny, witty a very happy guy as I remember\u2026 I really miss him\u201d* The 30th anniversary edition of Kick will be released on November 3.
