Publisher's Summary
At last, the unflinching and unforgettable memoir of music and life from the much-loved Australian legend. The Voice, in his own voice. Growing up in London and Melbourne, music was always part of John Farnham's world. But the young John never dreamed of what was to come. Pop stardom in the 1960s. The release of Whispering Jack, the critically acclaimed and highest-selling Australian album of all time. A decades-long touring career. Twenty-one ARIA awards. Australian of the Year. The list of accolades and achievements is long - so, at first glance, the John Farnham story is one filled with remarkable highs.It is, however, so much more than that. It is the story of the resilience John found as his stellar career stalled, record companies turned their backs, and he faced financial ruin. John has never shown how hard he fell and how difficult it was to stay true to himself in an industry that can be ruthless. It is the story of family, friendship and finding your voice.Throughout a lifetime filled with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, John has remained steadfast, never losing his unique musical talent, creative strength nor his powerful ability to make human connections through his music. After his devastating cancer diagnosis and far too many goodbyes, John is now telling his story, his way.The Voice Inside is like sitting down with an old friend sharing stories that are both deeply personal and wildly entertaining. Written alongside award-winning filmmaker Poppy Stockell, this is a captivating and powerfully honest insight into the man whose music is the soundtrack to so many of our lives.

This book stole a nights sleep
What a wonderful book. I couldn’t stop myself from listening to the whole thing in one go over night. I believe an Audiobook is the best way to experience this book as Johns narration ( complete with some singing and lots of self deprecation ) is so natural it’s like sitting next to him having a chat about life. It’s neither weepy nor dry. It’s honest. It’s sweet. Parts may be shocking ( yes- can you believe a music star who has been faithful to his wife for over 50 years…shooketh as the young kids say) I could go on but I’d better stop. As Molly Meldrum would say “ do yourself a favour” buy this book. You won’t regret it.
