When Creedence Clearwater Revival's Stu Cook and his bandmates in Jackdawg sat down to create the Jackdawg album, they weren't thinking of just any Australian singer. They were thinking of Chrissy Amphlett, the defiant, magnetic frontwoman of Divinyls whose voice, attitude and stage presence captivated audiences across the world in the 1980s and 90s.

Kate Ceberano has delivered a powerful new live version of the Divinyls’ iconic debut single ‘Boys In Town’, first brought to life by the late, great Chrissy Amphlett.

Chrissy Amphlett lost her battle with cancer on 21 April, 2013, 10 years ago today.

Former Divinyls member Charley Drayton will be heading out on tour as the drummer for the Bob Dylan band for Bob’s upcoming ‘Rough and Rowdy Ways World Wide Tour 2021-2024’.

On Monday Divinyls co-founder Mark McEntee announced he will tour a new line-up of his legendary band in 2019. While the announcement was met with scorn from Charley Drayton, the husband of his late co-founder Chrissy Amphlett, the fact remains that Divinyls is very much a part of McEntee’s legacy and he is well within his rights to honor that legacy any way he sees fit.

Divinyls singer Chrissy Amphlett will be included into the Hall of Fame at the next The Age Music Victoria Awards.

Melbourne’s Amphlett Lane, named after Divinyls singer Chrissy Amphlett, will soon have a podcast and walking tour after funding approval by the Victorian Government.
