John Farnham has claimed in his new memoir that his former manager Darryl Sambell secretly drugged him while he was a young performer coming up in the music industry. The 75-year-old writes that Sambell, who died in 2001, would put substances in his coffee back when he managed the You’re The Voice singer’s music career during the late 1960s and into the ‘70s.
Hear John Farnham for the first time in years. “He drugged me for years and I had no f****** idea,” he claims in his upcoming memoir The Voice Inside, the Daily Mail reported. Farnham writes that he first became aware of Sambell’s behaviour when he finished a cup of coffee and found a half-dissolved pill at the bottom. When he confronted Sambell, Farnham says his manager told him it was simply “something to help you stay awake”.
