That famous voice will be heard again after the beloved Aussie singer’s recent health battle. The audiobook version of Farnham’s memoir: The Voice Inside, co-written with Poppy Stockell, will be voiced by the man himself, and in a special touch, two chapters written by John’s wife, Jill Farnham, will be narrated by Jill herself.
John Farnham says: ‘I’ve just finished narrating my audiobook. It was a bit of a roller-coaster ride. There were more than a few laughs, and some tears, but it made me realise how lucky I’ve been.’
Head of Literary at Hachette Australia, Vanessa Radnidge says: ‘…John is a born entertainer, and he never wants to disappoint his fans. Despite the challenges posed by surgery and radiation, John dedicated many hours in the studio to record his book in his own voice. Now, I cannot imagine anyone else narrating it. Listening to him is such a delight – the heart, emotion, and showmanship are all there. So are the laughs, the giggles, and the tears. John feels lucky to have lived the life he has, and I know we are all incredibly lucky to have John Farnham share the voice inside with all of us.’
The audiobook edition of The Voice Inside, narrated by John Farnham with Jill Farnham, will be available on 30 October 2024.
