John Farnham is a beautiful man in all respects. A huge talent, a great husband & father, a very funny personality, just a great man. I hope he’s recovering well & knows that we love him very much.
Look at John, apologising for the price of the tickets! He's priceless. When I look at this new 'breed' of 'Reactors', from the USA and many other countries, 'Discovering' John for the first time, and scraping their chins off the floor in awe at his voice - just can't express how PROUD I am of / for him.
I came to Australia in 1981. I turned on the TV during the day, something I never usually did, and to my absolute stunned joy, there was this beautiful young man with this extraordinary voice singing Help. I have been in love with John Farnham from that moment, and am still in love with him.41yrs later. OMG I absolutely adore him and his very beautiful voice. I've seen him live 6 times and would go another 100 times if we're both still around. Get well soon John. All my love xxooxx
What a man and a fabulous talent. His version of the Beatles Help is still the definitative version, especially when the audience joins in. I love his song Burn for You dedicated to his wife Jill and Touch of Paradise. We all wish him well for his recovery. Having lost a 14 yr old daughter to Hodgkins disease in 1987 I know what his family must have been feeling. I look forward to seeing his movie come out in May this year. John Farnham: Finding the Voice. 🎤🎵🎶
Met John in Hong Kong when I workef for Ansett . He blew me away . Talented, funny , natural and humble gentleman. Wishing you a speedy recovery John.. you are beautiful person x
John, l've followed you since Sadie. You have grown in and leaps and bounds. Watching you on Ray Martin show. You are the best singer in the world l love you, my Mum loved you and my daughter loves you ❤ l know what happened in 2022 and the world is waiting to see how youare getting on..lf you are not feeling great thats understandable. We still love you,darling Jiily and you darling boys( and the dragon lady) We have a little Facebook fan Club,people who love John Farnham and we have heaps of members. You have given the Australians the best talent in our lives. Your fans overseas love you. Thankyou for being Australians favourite son. Have a good life with your family.. Love you forever 💓 💙💙💙✌
How perfect that Australia's best vocalist is known as The Voice. What I mean is: so many times people are known for things that they are NOT the best at. This guy releases You're The Voice, and IS The Voice.
Dandenong? His Nan used to come in to the Pharmacy I worked in. If anyone remembers the Chemist in Vanity Arcade? The one with all the mirrors? My Boss forbid me from asking about John. Bless her, she always asked for me because she knew I was inlove with John, but I blushed everytime she walked in. She got a kick out of that :) LOL I first met John when I was just 3. He was in a Dick Whittington play. I asked him to marry me! LOL! Still inlove with him to this day, I'm now in my 50's. If I'd known he was singing in Dandenong, I would've had a pub full of people there. He wasn't advertised enough :( Still in love with you John. I'm stuck in the USA and trying to get home to Oz. He is a gift from God and I now have new American fans who just can't believe they never heard of him before!
ha ha ha ...Thanks John , for confirming , the story I have been mentioning FOR YEARS ,,,the ,Dandenong gig , Crowd of 9 ..!!!!! i WAS ONE OF THEM ....just before the career took off again. ...If we ever meet again, I can name the Pub !!! heeee heeee heeee. What a Star...A Natural Star....A real Star .......So deserving of massive success..!!! Foer heavens sake Take care ...Cheers Rob
Twenty-five to thirty Dollars a Ticket...those were the days. I’d pay heaps more to see our John Farnham sing again.🗣🎶🎵Find your health and wishing you find it easier with each passing day. Quite wonderful to watch old footage. What a voice! 🎶🎶👍🏼🇦🇺
I bet so many are watching this now, based on his reaction videos blowing up. I wish the world would have got prime JF but still appreciate everyone catching on late
I love this interview with John and after all these years he is still the most humble genuine wonderfull human being, we all love you John , you are the real live come back kid , always striving to be the best you can be , l admire you so much , you have given me the strength l have needed through all the trials and tribulations of my own journey, always an ever present force , l am so happy to hear you are cancer free 👍
It's so refreshing to see an unassuming performer whom has his feet on the ground ..he is extremely talented ..I'm in love with his voice ..he is absolutely one of the greatest voices out there ..or was our there ..I pray he recovers from cancer ...I'm so disappointed that I've only been recently introduced ..dunno how I missed him..but how blessed I am that I have heard him sing ..
I remeber listening to all his songs as a child going on holidays in the car with my family. Legendary songs reasons age of reason pressure down touch of paradise all great songs
Have been a fan since the days of Sadie. Saw him with the Hollies in 1969 and have seen him three times since. Love him as an entertainer and a great Aussie. You are The Voice.
Look.. who cares. He’s just got the game together. John: I know it’s been difficult but you are a HUGE inspiration! Every time from the US I keep coming back. My wife hates you but I idk anymore. I love you man. You have given everything you possibly could do and obviously have turned out to be an the the biggest icon
Hahaha....fast forward to the year 2022, Oct 20...if I could buy John Farnham concert tickets for $25 - $30 as he mentioned in the Interview, I'd buy several and go to the concert every night for a whole week!! ❤️❤️
it wasn't til' the internet came along that i properly appreciated how incredibly insular the american media has been most of my life (i'm 53). this guy's prolly a household name in oz i never heard of him in my life. and btw, nowhere and i do mean nowhere on earth are there more mullets per square inch than australia.
l just 'eye rolled' when he mentioned $25 - $30 per ticket to see him in concert, so 30+ years on you are now looking at 3 figure amounts for tickets to see him..
wow....he said that 20, 25, even 30 dollars per ticket is expensive for a concert! With concert tickets nowadays sometimes being up to $900 for front row, (Celine Dion)....my....how times have changed...!!!
I had a little chuckle when John said the his fans were paying big dollars for a ticket to his shows 23, 25 to 30 dollars a ticket. Nowadays you pay double that just for the parking
Yes he is from England Jimmy Barnes Scotland Bee Gees England all great singers that's why it where they come from I'm Australian just trying to think who from Australia can really sing in the the level of these guys Someone help me please I can't think of one really great singer we have produced Keith urban is our best export incredible John is the best voice we have given he is 80% Aussie and a great guy !
@@christinetindal-davies8489 appreciate your response yes agree jack jones particularly good singer Diesel a great musician In my view not an outstanding vocalist, interesting here again both Diesel and Jack Jones both born in America the came to Australia
$30 bucks a ticket ? Gods.. I'd pay anything - name a figure - per ticket and I reckon a huge number of folks would do the same - if it meant we get to see our Legend in concert - healthy, whole, hearty, and in a good place .. and free of the health issues plagueing him now..
@@spikeyroberto I think it's make it loud and make it clear iirc. Maybe it was a joke since he namechecked Geoff Harvey the band leader when he was taking about messing up lyrics.
Ray I know this is 3 years late....but NO he does not....he simply has a very powerful voice which can also go down for ballads.....he can hit every note and personally I really love powerful singers.
This is one American that has NEVER heard a better vocalist. Without a doubt. No one can compete with JOHN. Thank you for you're gift!!
Right? Freddy Mercury from Queen said John Farnham is the best male vocalist on the planet. He is/was right!
This American agrees!
@@jacquieholmes4064 did he really?
@@leahmillar8255 So did Richard Marx. Said that he only ever felt like that with Elvis.
@@jacquieholmes4064 any chance u can find where he said that?
what a shame the American music industry is so messed up the this great talent was never played over the radio. we all lost out.
Great voice and nice guy.
Gifted humble man with a great sense of humor and an amazing beautiful voice. What a beautiful man! ❤

Have been a fan since the days of Sadie. Saw him with the Hollies in 1969 and have seen him three times since. Love him as an entertainer and a great Aussie. You are The Voice.
I wish his songs were known in the US.
I know “You’re The Voice” was featured in a scene in a movie a few years ago…
Still Played On Local
National Radio Stations
In the UK To This Day 2023-2024
And best mullet ever.
Look.. who cares. He’s just got the game together. John: I know it’s been difficult but you are a HUGE inspiration!
Every time from the US I keep coming back. My wife hates you but I idk anymore. I love you man. You have given everything you possibly could do and obviously have turned out to be an the the biggest icon
He should of won awards for that awesome mullet!
Agreed...best haircut for sure. it was all business in front, party out the back, wing nuts flapping in the breeze..no worries mate :)
John was offered the Queen gig, said he’d mullet over...one of the greatest singers of all time...🙂👍
thanks so much for this video i loved it he really is a lovely guy and very funny as well as a great singer

John always looked like a medieval prince. Today and yesterday.
it wasn't til' the internet came along that i properly appreciated how incredibly insular the american media has been most of my life (i'm 53). this guy's prolly a household name in oz i never heard of him in my life.
and btw, nowhere and i do mean nowhere on earth are there more mullets per square inch than australia.
good interview.
Holy smoke! I'd pay $30 to see John live!
He is the sought of guy you would donate a kidney if he needed one.
thanks for sharing this video
Thank you so much for sharing this video.
l just 'eye rolled' when he mentioned $25 - $30 per ticket to see him in concert, so 30+ years on you are now looking at 3 figure amounts for tickets to see him..
At the time a weeks rent was the same amount and you might earn $120 a fortnight.
And worth every cent
wow....he said that 20, 25, even 30 dollars per ticket is expensive for a concert! With concert tickets nowadays sometimes being up to $900 for front row, (Celine Dion)....my....how times have changed...!!!
He literally talks to ANYone! I ❤ him, I wish I could meet him, I wish
Lol
I love johnny farnham, as an Aussie, Australia Is a country that I would Love to visit someday . Lol
$30 a ticket. I've paid ten times that. Those were the days.
Great hair.
The Aussie voice sounded so different back then.
What a funny guy.
I had a little chuckle when John said the his fans were paying big dollars for a ticket to his shows 23, 25 to 30 dollars a ticket. Nowadays you pay double that just for the parking
Just for the parking? Where is that? Sydney?
Yes he is from England Jimmy Barnes Scotland Bee Gees England all great singers that's why it where they come from
I'm Australian just trying to think who from Australia can really sing in the the level of these guys
Someone help me please I can't think of one really great singer we have produced Keith urban is our best export incredible
John is the best voice we have given he is 80% Aussie and a great guy !
Stevie Wright of that era? Shame he couldn’t beat his inner demons.

Joel hartgen. Say song. With. You. Olivia newton john amazing grace
Oh Ray I loved that Wig.
did not know he was an aussie i thought hew was american.
"On the Willesee thing..." Gee, those were the days.
when was this recorded?? 1987?? He said his boy, who is born in 1979, was 5 1/2????
Rob was born in September 1981 👍🏼
12:50 the funniest bit
His son would be 44yr. What does he do? He’s an ACTOR
I'm not familiar with him.
I'll never get over the intro music having the wrong lyric lol
What do they sing? “Make a ??? and make it clear”
@@spikeyroberto I think it's make it loud and make it clear iirc. Maybe it was a joke since he namechecked Geoff Harvey the band leader when he was taking about messing up lyrics.
aw...
John is delicious ❤ and is hilarious 😂
And today in 2022 tickets to big shows top $200.00 easy.
stina was a really annoying interviewer i never liked her so im not suprised they didnt get along
Watching in 2023 😂.., "asking for $25 or $30 a ticket", just seems hilarious now a days with the ridiculous money some fools are paying. 😂😂😂
Over sings every song.
Ray I know this is 3 years late....but NO he does not....he simply has a very powerful voice which can also go down for ballads.....he can hit every note and personally I really love powerful singers.
You would if you could...🤔😉
And does it bloody well. Never heard a male voice like him.
@richard wittmayer The same as an Opera Singer?????
Listen to this! Would you call this over singing? A duet with Tom Jones :-ruclips.net/video/JoXCOR-doWI/видео.html
Or just simply amazing???
A man with that voice singing pubs with no audience. Insane.
