It seems to be the most downplayed reunion in recent memory, but J.D. Fortune will be performing with INXS when it takes the stage at the 2010 Olympics Victory Ceremony on Wednesday at BC Place in Vancouver.

The singer confirmed the news on his Web site, and the band made mention on it on its Facebook page, writing, “We have sold out our show at the Vancouver Winter Olympics on Feb. 24th and are excited to be playing for the Canadian fans. JD Fortune will do a special guest appearance at the show.”

Back in December, when the list of performers was first announced, we here at COTW speculated that Fortune would perform with the band, given the Canadian-heavy lineup for the Olympics concerts and the fact that without Ontario native Fortune, INXS is purely Australian band.

The band is set to tour the world this year, but it still isn’t clear whether Fortune will be on board, given all this “special guest appearance” business.
