INXS have reacted to their iconic hit, “Never Tear Us Apart”, being used in the new Toy Story 5 trailer.
As reported by Rolling Stone AU/NZ, it’s been confirmed that the teaser clip is currently the No. 1 trending film trailer in the world since its release on Wednesday, garnering over 4 million views in two days.
“’Never Tear Us Apart’ has always held a special place in our hearts, and seeing it in the Toy Story universe is incredibly moving for all of us,” INXS told Rolling Stone AU/NZ.
The teaser has surpassed the Stranger Things season 5 trailer and the new Michael Jackson biopic.
In July, “Never Tear Us Apart” took out top spot on the triple j Hottest 100 of Australian Songs countdown, with Music Director Nick Findlay saying: “‘Never Tear Us Apart’ hits just as hard in 2025 as it did almost 40 years ago. It’s a song that Australians of all ages can relate to, one that has soundtracked countless memories, and a defining piece of music history we can all celebrate together.”
Meanwhile, Toy Story 5 is set to hit cinemas in June 2026.
