John Farnham has narrated an upcoming memoir, with his publisher releasing a sample of what his voice sounds like today.
He boasts one of the most recognisable voices in Australian entertainment history, but after several high-profile health battles, John Farnham has fallen silent – until now.
“I don’t enjoy talking about myself, I really don’t. Don’t get me wrong, I’m an egomaniac,” he says in the audio clip. Farnham’s wife, Jill Farnham, wrote two chapters and will narrate them in the audiobook herself. In a release provided by Hachette, Farnham said narrating the audiobook was a roller-coaster ride. “There were more than a few laughs and some tears, but it made me realise how lucky I’ve been,” he said.Publisher Vanessa Radnidge, head of literary at Hachette Australia, said Farnham’s surgery meant his role as narrator was never a guarantee.
“Despite the challenges posed by surgery and radiation, John dedicated many hours in the studio to record his book in his own voice,” she said. “Now, I cannot imagine anyone else narrating it. Listening to him is such a delight – the heart, emotion and showmanship are all there.”
