- SpousesMarlina Neeley(October 4, 2013 - present)Shelley Blanks(1989 - present) (divorced, 3 children)
- Brother of Tim Farriss and Jon Farriss.
- Lead songwriter, keyboardist & guitarist of INXS. He and Michael Hutchence penned nearly all the bands hits, and this was a point of friction between them and the other band members, as royalties went to Farriss and Hutchence, making them wealthier than the other band members.
- Has written songs for Yothu Yindi.
- As with all the members of INXS, he has always maintained a busy pace with projects outside the band. As a songwriter and producer he has performed on countless awarding winning projects and with a diverse range of artists.
- The Farriss Brothers formed in 1977 and 20 years later remained unchanged in their line-up as INXS - a definite rarity in the music industry.
- My problem is I don't like traveling to play. I love traveling for holiday, and I love playing music if I'm able to go home every night, but I don't like combining the two. You never get to stay in one place long enough to get immersed in the culture.
