QMI Agency is reporting that J.D. Fortune is writing new material with Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith.

The Canadian singer, who replaced the late Michael Hutchence after winning the Rock Star reality TV show in 2005, also says that one of their songs has been picked up by Jerry Bruckheimer for an undisclosed film project.

As for INXS, Fortune is back on the road with the Australian band after it was widely reported that he had been fired.

“We had just got off tour and we took a break,” said Fortune. “And in that break, things got misconstrued. We were not able to communicate with each other -- we live 12,000 kilometers apart.”
