=== Crowded House ===
Initially, the new band formed by Hester and Neil Finn was named "The Mullanes" and then underwent a few name changes. They recruited [[Nick Seymour]] to play bass guitar and [[Craig Hooper]] on guitar,<ref name="ARDb" /> Hooper left as they secured a recording contract with Capitol Records in the US. However, Capitol disliked the name and the band changed to [[Crowded House]] to record their debut [[eponymous]] album, ''[[Crowded House (album)|Crowded House]]'' in 1986.<ref name="ARDb" /> Other records by Crowded House with Hester are: ''Temple of Low Men'' (1988), ''Woodface'' (1991), ''Together Alone'' (1993), and the Best-of collection ''Recurring Dream'' (1996).

By 1993, Hester was frustrated by the demands of his career and suffered a phobia about leaving to go on tour. On his return to Australia that year, he started to see a psychiatrist.<ref>[http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2005/03/28/1111862327689.html Paul Hester profile], smh.com.au, 28 March 2005; accessed 8 January 2016.</ref> He remained with Crowded House until 1994,<ref name="ARDb" /> when the pressure of touring and the birth of his first daughter made him want to stay home, rather than remain on the road. Hester left mid-way through a 1994 tour of America, forcing the band to recruit British drummer [[Peter Jones (drummer)|Peter Jones]] for the rest of the tour. Hester performed with Crowded House at the band's farewell concert on the forecourt of the Sydney Opera House in 1996.<ref>{{Cite web|date=8 October 2011|title=Paul Hester|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/paul-hester-530284.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220525/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/paul-hester-530284.html |archive-date=25 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|access-date=22 December 2020|website=The Independent|language=en}}</ref> As of 2021, Crowded House have sold well over 20 million albums.
