John Farnham’s Voice To Be Heard For First Time Since 2022 Surgery

John Farnham will be heard for the first time since his 2022 cancer surgery on the audiobook for his upcoming memoir ‘The Voice Inside’.

A statement from publishers Hachette says:

‘Hachette is excited to announce the legendary John Farnham AO will narrate the audiobook edition of his highly anticipated memoir, The Voice Inside, co-written with Poppy Stockell. In a special touch, two chapters written by John’s wife, Jill Farnham, will be narrated by Jill herself.⁠

John 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.’⁠


The Voice Inside is out 30 October, available in hardback, ebook and audiobook.

Farnham withdrew from public appearances after undergoing surgery for a cancerous tumour. He has rarely been seen in the past two years.

In an audio piece today, John says, “I don’t enjoy talking about myself, I really don’t. Don’t get me wrong, I’m an ego-maniac, but dredging up the past and checking through what has and hasn’t been is just something I’ve really never enjoyed,” John says.

“I will try to share as much as I can, but that’s not easy because I’ve never really been that open. I guess there are reasons for that, reasons for my reluctance.”

The audiobook, e-book and hardback editions of ‘The Voice Inside’ will be available from 30 October, 2024.
