John Farnham Confirms the Worst as The Voice Silenced
The one-night concert will feature more than 120 artists and raise funds for head and neck cancer charities, promoters said.
- Australian music icon John Farnham will be celebrated at "The Songs of John Farnham: A Living Legend" concert on September 20 at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena, featuring superstars Celine Dion and Hugh Jackman.
- Farnham, 76, retired from performing four years ago following a lifesaving 12-hour surgery to remove oral cancer, confirming on Friday he will never sing in public again.
- More than 120 artists will perform at the one-night show, with proceeds benefiting Head and Neck Cancer Australia; tickets go on sale Tuesday, June 2, via Ticketek Australia.
- Promoter Tony Cochrane said it took significant work to convince Farnham, who initially rejected the tribute twice, feeling "terribly uncomfortable" with the attention before eventually agreeing.
- Farnham expressed humility about the event, stating he is "gobsmacked" that so many artists agreed to participate in a night about "giving something back and supporting a cause that means a great deal to me.
