The beloved and iconic singer, John Farnham, has finally made a public appearance after undergoing cancer surgery in 2022. His voice, which has been sorely missed by fans, has now been heard for the first time since his operation. In August of that year, Farnham had a cancerous tumour removed from his mouth and has since been rarely seen in public, except for a few photos shared by his loved ones. But now, he has spoken - in a sample from an audiobook of his upcoming memoir, The Voice Inside. You can listen to it in the video player above.
In the audio clip, Farnham admits that he is not one to enjoy talking about himself, despite being an egomaniac. He shares that delving into his past and reliving certain moments is not something he has ever found pleasure in. However, he promises to open up as much as he can, although it may not come easy to him as he has always been a private person.
The memoir, titled The Voice Inside, was co-written by director Poppy Stockell, who also created the documentary "Finding the Voice" about Farnham's legendary career. Farnham's wife, Jill Farnham, also contributed by writing two chapters and will even narrate them in the audiobook herself.
Farnham admits that narrating the audiobook was a roller-coaster ride, filled with both laughter and tears. He reflects on how lucky he has been in his career and life, despite the challenges he has faced. The head of literary at publisher Hachette Australia, Vanessa Radnidge, shares that fans have been eagerly asking whether Farnham would be the one narrating the audiobook. At first, it seemed impossible due to his surgery and treatments, but Farnham's dedication and love for his fans made it happen. Radnidge believes that no one else could have narrated the audiobook as well as Farnham himself.
The hardback, e-book, and audiobook versions of The Voice Inside will all be released on October 30. Fans can also stay updated on all the latest news, celebrity gossip, and sports updates through the publisher's WhatsApp channel without any comments, algorithms, or privacy concerns. It's a great way to stay connected without any hassle.
