Aussie icon John Farnham best known for his smash hit song You’re The Voice, will be releasing his memoir, The Voice Inside, in late 2024.
It has now been revealed that John’s golden voice will be heard again in an audio version of the memoir. It has been over two years since the iconic singer underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumour from his mouth and he has been quietly recovering at his Melbourne home since.
The Daily Telegraph has now reported that both John and his wife Jill will be included in the audiobook version and fans are thrilled!
When the memoir was first announced in early April 2024, John revealed that despite having continuously been asked to tell his story over the years, only now feels like the right time.
“It is a very strange feeling looking back on my life, on the good and the bad and now that I have started it, it is all rushing back. I hope the book engages and entertains, because that’s what so much of my life has been about,” he said.
The brand-new tell-all was written in partnership with award-winning writer and director Poppy Stickell, who also directed John’s documentary, John Farnham: Finding the Voice (2023). and produced by Hachette Australia and Talentworks.
“The Voice Inside charts John Farnham’s very personal and public journey, told in his own words and with his inimitable humour, insight, and humility,” the publishing company wrote in a statement on Facebook.
