John’s family has just released an update on John’s health, thankfully John has made good progress and seems to be in remission, walking around with a walking stick and enjoying a good joke or two. They celebrated his 74th birthday just the other weak. It maybe some time before he ever makes a public appearance, but his family have conveyed John’s appreciation of everyone that has sent their love and support ❤ Thank you for the great endorsement of John and we Australians have enjoyed all your reactions ❤
I think John is recognised as one of the most nicest people you could ever meet and you are so right that he should be up for a grammy! We have been extremely spoilt having grown up with John in Australia, but we are very proud of him. #JohnFarnhamGrammy
Thanks Nick- not sure if you realised I made this video- so for anyone watching I’d really appreciate you jumping over to my channel and like and subscribe! Thanks so much!
That's why we love him. He's the whole package. He's funny, he can act, doesn't have a big ego, as well he's a fantastic entertainer and the greatest singer on the planet. Have I left anything out ?😊
John acted on stage in 2 musicals - Charlie Girl and Pippin. He met Jillian during Charlie Girl (she was a dancer in the show). His documentary is being televised at 7pm on Monday 24th July on Channel 7 for those who don’t know.
John Farnham and Hugh Jackman have similar senses of humour: situational, down-to-earth and mostly inoffensive... they both sing and act... and they make their wives love them in long marriages.
John's what we call an all rounder. Actor, comedian, plumber, competitive horse rider and horse breeder, loving husband, amazing father, best freind, regular all round nice bloke but best of all extraordinary singer and entertainer. There is an interview from the Don Lane show where Sammy Davis Jnr asks John what his plans were for the future and John replied simply. ...I JUST WANT TO SING. I can do all that other stuff but I haven't had one direction and I'd like to concentrate on singing.... That pretty well wraps him up in a nutshell. He moved on from that moment and just concentrated on singing. Pretty sure Dr Kap has that interview up on her site .
Apparently his sons said that John was joking and making fun at the hospital the whole time with the medical staff there. He is what us Aussies call....a larrikan.....meaning, silly person, joker, etc.
John is the greatest Australian vocalist, but he is also the most hilarious person I’ve ever known as the best vocalist and he’s always funny too. OMG he really could have been a comedian as well. Anyway he picked the right path for all of us to enjoy 😊 🇦🇺👏👏👏
John & his family are keeping his recovery mostly private. All we know here is that he's doing well. My Brother had very similar surgery, I know how tough that road was. We all wish John all the love & best wishes for his recovery. It you haven't done a reaction to Anthony Warlow & John doing opera it's well worth a look.
John Farnham had a tv sitcom in 1977 called Bobby Dazzler, about an up and coming pop star who gets an agent to manage his career, but also lives at home with his dad. It only ran for 1 season. There are clips of it on UA-cam.
During the 70’s he had a few acting parts- this was from the Last Australians, also he was in a show called Bobby Dazzler, and guest parts in other shows- a lot of Crawford productions I believe
Hi TSR, I'm an Aussie and a life long JF fan. I've loved him since I was a tiny child and he used to guest star on our local television Telethon in Perth (raising money for sick kids). I'm pretty sure I recommended to you a while ago to watch John in concert all the way through a concert.... instead of isolated clips. With our John you get two shows in one. Comedy and music. Some of the best bits happen between songs. He loves to have fun interacting with us. I'm not sure how some of his humour will translate to the American audience, especially his "mother- in-law" jokes....ýou just have to keep in mind that in reality he has a very close relationship with her! Also, some of his humour are running jokes that have been going/building for decades. EG in regards to the song "Sadie the cleaning lady" is one example. John's feelings about that song have evolved and changed over the years...we love to play that game with him. I recently saw the movie "John Farnham: Finding the voice" in the cinema, and am going to watch it again tomorrow night on channel 7 @ 7.30pm Perth time in Western Australia. Unfortunately during the making of this documentary, John's manager Glen Wheatley died (RIP). Without Glen's absolute, steadfast belief in and support of John you would have NEVER heard of him. Glen and his wife Gaynor were in the middle of making the documentary when Glen sadly passed away, and Gaynor went on to finish it by herself. When the "come back" album "Whispering Jack" was finished...no record company would take it on, so Glen took out a mortgage on his house in order to get it out to the public. Thank you Glen! 😙 There is some interesting information in the film, but I would have liked it to end with some concert footage. Also, I thought you would be interested to know that John's family (I'm guessing his two sons, as his wife stays out of the limelight) are giving a live update about John's recovery sometime this week on the Australian morning show "Sunrise" also on channel 7. Me and my Dad have loved watching your mind being blown by discovering the magic that is JF. We have always known how special he is but you really make us realise how privileged we've been to have darling John as part of the fabric of Australian life. Keep spreading the word and campaigning for a Grammy. Might be a long shot, as most Americans don't seem to be as opened minded as you are. Love your work. Lally x
John has not been seen publicly since his surgery. I recently saw a comment from his sons, they said "He's OK, but it's cancer, it's a battle" While all of Australia are praying for a good outcome, I don't think this will end well. During his shows, John was always on stage. When he had to take a break between songs, he stayed on stage telling his funny and sometimes very naughty stories. A true entertainer. You should find some of the segments he did on THE TODAY SHOW with Ray Martin, who was the host. John was always a complete clown.
Yes, everything you say is right!! I love your reacion. Thanks. He is amazingly funny, as well as a phenomenal singer, showman and person. We Aussies LOVE him!💞🌹💞🌹
Nick, as far as I recall, John has never given an interview unless he was promoting an album, a tour or a charity concert. Never. He does not seek the limelight unless he’s performing and that he loves .We can only hope that we might see him again.
John is a 'Master Entertainer' - they are extremely rare. Sammy Davis Jnr is another that comes to mind. You have to be great with at least 3 different stage disciplines. Acting/singing/comedian/dancing/musical instrument etc.
He is a good man, he had a bit of backlash back in the day. Was interesting coming home on the train after John and Guns and roses played on the same night in different venues :). I am a fan of both, but was waring John's Tee-shirt that night. Was with the MSO so best decision I could have made. Unforgettable :)
I was lucky enough to see him in one of his Jack's Back concerts and it was absolutely fantastic, the best thing though was his rapport with the stage crew, his band and the audience. He was so funny. 😂 If I remember correctly his show was called 'Bobby Dazzler'.
Hey just thought you’d like to know John is doing really well. He’s now cancer free and has just started to sing again at home so it’s onwards and upwards for him now.
Hey TSR, the above video (towards the end) when John is describing his operation is a snippet from a whole show he did with an Australian comedian called Steve Vizard. As it was a late night show, they were allowed to use more "colourful" language! You can find the extended version on the UA-cam channel "Man Full of Yesterdays" clip is titled "John Farnham -Interview- Steve Vizard Show 2nd October 1990". An oldie but a goodie! Good insight into John's personality. Put a smile on my face.
Omg this is a gem! Thank you for playing it, and thank you Dr Kap for requesting it! I was still choking with laughter at the vasectomy when he introduced the Irish woman's breast - I couldn't catch my breath! - I think this video should have come with a health warning 😂
@@Dr_KAP so I realised, when I went back to the original, and meant to edit my comment accordingly. Brilliant job! Would you be up for a sequel with all the segments that you no doubt had to leave on the cutting room floor? 😸
John is a true blue AUSSIE, so down to earth, really i don't think he knows how great & loved he is.He is just enjoying life we are alone for the ride. 🇦🇺🇦🇺♥️♥️
John is the nicest man... no airs about him...heart of Gold....he also has acted...he starred in a tv series back in the late 70s... about an up and coming pop star...Bobby Dazzler.... he is multi talented ...you can see why we love the man. ..
John is awesome. He had a tv show back in the day called “Bobby Dazzler”,I used to watch it when I was a kid. Even appeared on one of Australia’s favorite long running tv shows, “ home and away”. John can do anything.
He was always a singer.. Not an actor. He's just such a down to earth and genuinely funny and up for a laugh. So he has done heaps of TV bits as a result. Guest spots and so on. Legend.
He is Australian royalty… not a larrikin … just simply who we ALL love … mums dads children… remember the famous last tour … went for 10 years ❤😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
I believe that first segment was from the Australian sitcom The Last of The Australians(1975), where John made a guest appearance. John had his own tv sitcom called Bobby Dazzler(1977), where he played the title role.
John Farnhams family advised that he is now free of cancer. He has been singing at home and happy and grateful. He himself is not coming into the public arena his family do this. So happy news.
A few days a go John Farnham sent out a written messages from himself. He thanks all for messages and he waa enjoy attention from his wife , sons and his dog. He said he was going to chow down on a pizza. Close friend of his says he is signing around the house and he said "see I can still sing".
He was an apprentice Plumber first. So he fixed his Hotel shower on tour, he even went to the hardware store buy one he liked. He quit his job 2 days before his first song was released. I don’t know why they are putting his Documentary on TV before they release the DVD. We are all going to buy the DVD anyway.
HEY NICK- Gotta watch the-musicdoc JOHN FARNHAM ‘Finding the Voice’ I'm an Aussie who was gobsmacked to learn about the unfair treatment that John endured throughout his career including depression. But he battled with his demons with unconditional love from his wife - Jill and the endless support of family, friends & finally, a lucky break through with Glenn Wheatley that enabled us to (arguably) enjoy & appreciate the best singing voices, ever! 🙏Godspeed John. We want to hear you sing again, soon❤️
I've just been watching your clip of "John Farnham Funny" & since you think s much of John I thought I'd let you know that Australia has just released a movie about his life... I haven't seen it myself as yet. But you should catch it if you can I love your enthusiasm & I love you thanks for your videos
I’ve followed John since the first hit of his which was Sadie the cleaning lady He also an actor and was in some some tv series in the 60/70 king of pop for years .
The first clip was from the sitcom “The Last of the Australians” which was Australia’s version of the USA’s “All In The Family” with Archie Bunker. (The original was British however: it was a BBC show called “Till Death Us Do Part”.)
Hey Nic, there has been a heath update on John by his son Rob and Glenn's wife Gaynor and apparently he is cancer-free and has been singing and walking his dog. There is a video of the update which you can search for on UA-cam. Cheers!!
Thanks for this one Nick..John really is a funny guy.. (maybe not as funny as he thinks he is... the dad jokes... hahahaha.... but funny all the less hahaha )... on a side note... did you see that Tina has released her new album ? There are clips out already for you to watch... I'm assuming lives will follow...
No he really wasnt an actor at all. But he was a stupendous singer an all round performer and a very funny bloke. Never missed an opportunity. He would hve shone on old Variety shows or even vaudeville.
Someone here recommended watching the interview Pixie-Ann Wheatley did with John "Farmhand". Thanks, hilarious. TSR this is quite old, Pixie-Ann is a character created by Australian comedian Magda Szubanski (another national treasure!). You might have seen her in the movie "Babe". Also, please watch this TSR as you will learn how to say his name correctly 😆.
Have you seen the Audience with John Farnham? He sings, jokes and tells stories of his life. Yes atm he is doing ok, his son said he was singing at home, not a lot but John's a strong fella ua-cam.com/video/huXZwDoQcWA/v-deo.html
John is what we call an Aussie 'larrikin', a mischievous, cheeky, rowdy but good-hearted person and that is John to the tee!
When John left school he worked as an apprentice plumber, so seeing him changing a shower head was fun to see.
John’s family has just released an update on John’s health, thankfully John has made good progress and seems to be in remission, walking around with a walking stick and enjoying a good joke or two.

Nice work Doc!❤
You know our John so well. His sons said he was driving the nurses crazy with his jokes and it's not hard to imagine
He's a natural comedian. Who'd have thought that that incredible voice would come out of a funny man 😂🥰
That's why we love him. He's the whole package. He's funny, he can act, doesn't have a big ego, as well he's a fantastic entertainer and the greatest singer on the planet. Have I left anything out ?😊

John is a man of many talents, before he was a singer, he was a plumber, that’s what I think him changing the shower head was referencing
He changed it in the hotel as he didn’t like the one that was there 😂 he was an apprentice plumber but not a plumber
He is very funny. He is really funny during his concerts too
John's what we call an all rounder. Actor, comedian, plumber, competitive horse rider and horse breeder, loving husband, amazing father, best freind, regular all round nice bloke but best of all extraordinary singer and entertainer.

Dr Kap is awesome! She is constantly promoting our amazing artists on reaction channels!
This is actually my own video! 😂 ❤
John was actually a plumber's apprentice when he got discovered.
He was a plumber's apprentice before he became famous
Funny that his guitarist Brett Garsed was also an apprentice plumber before he got the gig with John. No leaky taps in that band!
John is the greatest Australian vocalist, but he is also the most hilarious person I’ve ever known as the best vocalist and he’s always funny too. OMG he really could have been a comedian as well. Anyway he picked the right path for all of us to enjoy 😊 🇦🇺👏👏👏
He speaks as clear as he sings. He's very versatile.
John is extremely funny. Great to see in concert ❤

😂😂😂
I remember John saying in an interview he didn’t have a cool bone in his body, I can’t pretend I’m not having a good time. Just love this man ❤

He’s VERY genuine.
I like to think that John is as good as a singer as he is a true and good human being.
Yes me too although I've witnessed him , like the rest of us not to be perfect . However I overlook his flaws . ♑️✍️🇳🇴🇦🇺

I've been blessed to have seen John Farnham a few times in concert.
Definitely an actor. He played Jesus in ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’. He is a superstar.
So proud of you nic for being so passionate about our Farnsey....
Sadie the cleaning lady was my 1st vinyl when I was 5! I fell in love with him then and still love him. Thank you for honouring this great talent ❤
He’s one of a kind ❤

Hey just thought you’d like to know John is doing really well. He’s now cancer free and has just started to sing again at home so it’s onwards and upwards for him now.
John is actually a Plumber by Trade. So his shower repair was an easy job for him.
Hi mate, love your reactions to Aussie music, for me, best music ever, it's a shame you guys didn't get it sooner but I'm glad you got it ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love that he fixed the shower head, seeing he was a plumber tradey in a past life 😅 👌🤗

The DVD of his doco is out in August
Who used to make the funniest jokes about his mother in law when he was on the Don Lane Show… I still remember them
John was an apprentice plumber before he had a hit.
The Australian TV Show was called 'Bobby Dazzler' and it ran from 1977 to 1978. He was aged 28 then. He also made guest appearances in other shows.
He did a cameo in a show called “The Games” about stage craft, very funny.
John had to have a sense of humour to release his first hit. Sadie the cleaning lady.
John is awesome. He had a tv show back in the day called “Bobby Dazzler”,I used to watch it when I was a kid. Even appeared on one of Australia’s favorite long running tv shows, “ home and away”. John can do anything.

John was an apprentice plumber before singer but his greatest achievement keeping his ego firmly grounded.
John has recovered and is singing again
He is everything and decent to boot.
Real larrikin humour. And he is naturally funny
Hey Nic congratulations for being on Australian TV I watched you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Pavarotti himself said John can sing anything even kept up with Pavarotti
He is Australian royalty… not a larrikin … just simply who we ALL love … mums dads children… remember the famous last tour … went for 10 years ❤😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

We know he’s world class…😂
He was an apprentice Plumber first. So he fixed his Hotel shower on tour, he even went to the hardware store buy one he liked. He quit his job 2 days before his first song was released.
I don’t know why they are putting his Documentary on TV before they release the DVD. We are all going to buy the DVD anyway.
HEY NICK- Gotta watch the-musicdoc
JOHN FARNHAM
‘Finding the Voice’
I'm an Aussie who was gobsmacked to learn about the unfair treatment that John endured throughout his career including depression. But he battled with his demons with unconditional love from his wife - Jill and the endless support of family, friends & finally, a lucky break through with Glenn Wheatley that enabled us to (arguably) enjoy & appreciate the best singing voices, ever!
🙏Godspeed John. We want to hear you sing again, soon❤️
Someone needs to hunt the ads John did with Glen for a phone company, I've seen a couple and they were hilarious. Nick would love them!
John's son gave an update recently. He is thankfully cancer free ❤

Apparently yes the hospital staff said he had them laughing right up until they put him under for surgery
John did two years as an apprentice plumber before going into singing.
Hey Nic, there has been a heath update on John by his son Rob and Glenn's wife Gaynor and apparently he is cancer-free and has been singing and walking his dog. There is a video of the update which you can search for on UA-cam. Cheers!!
He did a musical play called Charlie Girl.
I’ve never seen this.great video
He's an entertainer
The nurses loved him and his sons said………………( he has every award Aussies can give. Even Australian of the year.) he was a plumber)
Thanks for this one Nick..John really is a funny guy.. (maybe not as funny as he thinks he is... the dad jokes... hahahaha.... but funny all the less hahaha )... on a side note... did you see that Tina has released her new album ? There are clips out already for you to watch... I'm assuming lives will follow...
It’s like ur Saturday night…
Singer 1st, some acting 2nd. Was a plumber before he started making a name for himself as a singer. All round entertainer
Thanks
John Farnham starred in a television show called Bobby Dazzler 😊
I've had tea with him. He's very funny
Lucky you, more details please!
No he really wasnt an actor at all. But he was a stupendous singer an all round performer and a very funny bloke. Never missed an opportunity. He would hve shone on old Variety shows or even vaudeville.
Hey, America didn't want him because he was too old!! Who's laughing now???
Hilarious 😂
Have you seen the doco none
movie about his life that sold out cinemas in Australia earlier this year? It's called Finding The Voice. It's great.
Someone here recommended watching the interview Pixie-Ann Wheatley did with John "Farmhand". Thanks, hilarious.
