Kylie Minogue’s starring role in The Delinquents (1989) led to more than just $3m at the box office. Her portrayal of Lola Lovell in the Australian coming-of-age romantic drama also brought about the release of one of INXS’ biggest hits. Michael Hutchence was then dating Minogue, whose character in the film dyes her hair platinum blonde after leaving her family. Minogue didn’t risk the dye, and instead donned a wig to play the role which her hairdresser described as “suicide blonde”. Michael loved the saying and thus ‘Suicide Blonde’ was born. Instantly recognisable from its distinctive harmonica intro, the 1990 song is an incredibly upbeat offering despite its titular suicide reference, incorporating elements of funk and dance. Following decades of rumours, the song’s origins were finally confirmed by Minogue in conversation with News Corps.
