    This beautiful man has recently gone through the most horrible thing he doesn't sing due to cancer in the throat area which has devastated him and all his fans he has pulled through at a cost . He is honoured by all Australians . We love him there will never be another person come close to our John . Bless you John and thank you for all the music you have given to us Aussies ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    For so long no one wanted to put their label near him. Then Glen Wheatley took over managing him and there was no stopping the 2 of them. Unfortunately John was diagnosed with oral cancer in August 2022 he is doing well but I don’t think we will ever hear him sing again. So it fantastic that people like you are keeping his voice out there for a new lot of people to appreciate how great his voice was.

    Thank goodness for Glen Wheatley, because without him, we might never have seen the best of John Farnham. In his early career, Farnham was unfairly typecast due to poor management, which left him on the verge of fading into obscurity. But then Glen Wheatley stepped in, recognizing the untapped potential in Farnham's extraordinary talent.
    It wasn't just Glen's belief that made the difference-it was the unwavering support of his wife, who stood by his side and encouraged him to take a chance on Farnham. Together, they gave Farnham the platform he needed to truly shine. The result? A legendary career that might never have happened if not for the faith and determination of Glen Wheatley and his wife.

    You know, singers come and go and you like them and their songs at the time and the songs were cool and interesting and made you happy but after a while they fade away and they disappear into the back of your memory and when you hear them sing that song again years later there's maybe a fond memory. But not the case with John, he's been front and centre his whole career and I still want to hear his music every day. And when I hear him sing, even all these years later, I still get goosebumps everytime.
    I hope John's music brings you as much joy for the rest of your life as he has brought to me and so many other Aussies.

He sings around his house again and his voice was not affected but still recovering opening his mouth. Suck a lovely family man.wish him all the best. John’s cover of “Help”with the Melbourne synthony orchestra is beautiful and Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham singing “ When something is wrong with my Baby” is amazing too.

    John Farnham is the greatest and most versatile male vocalist of all time, he can sing anything, any genre including opera. This is a great song from cold chisel and John has done it quite a few times but I think this is the best version of all time. The passion and emotion John puts into this is incredible, he puts everything into this performance and you really feel it with him. He is so great. And Brett Garsed on guitar as always great.

Everyone of us, in some point in our lives, is faced with a war on a personal level, whether it be in a relationship, a neighbour, or a complete stranger. It doesn't matter whether it's a global war, or a deeply personal war, it still affects us in some way, emotionally. John interprets this song beautifully. Thank you Mike for reacting to this. ❤❤

    The song is about the Vietnam War, and It's a soldier's heart he is singing about.

      John Farnham was diagnosed with throat cancer, he’s still going strong but we will probably never hear that beautiful voice of he’s ever again.

    Thanks for another great reaction to our John, Mike. It's impossible to fault John's vocals at any age. He started off with a great voice that just got better and better over the years. I get chills every time I hear him performing this song. Although most people seem to prefer this performance, and I love it, too, I actually prefer him performing it in the Whispering Jack concert. Regardless of which version everyone prefers, both of them are mind blowing.

    It's John Farnham! Whispering Jack! An Aussie icon. We love him. He came out of the same era as Helen Reddy. Americans adopted Helen, but you left John for us. Thankyou. I'm Aussie by the way.

    John never fails to hit the notes or the emotional spot. He nails it. His version of the Beatles “Help” gives whole new meaning to the song, and then there’s his classic, “You’re the Voice.” That’s an anthem.

    John does not need musical accompaniment. His voice is an instrument. I only met him once, and he was just a boy then, but he has never changed, humble, sweet, genuine and talent personified.
    We are all growing and changing our entire lives and sometimes we can love someone but we can’t live with that person and still be happy and as we all only have one life, you have to continue on your journey through life without leaving bad feelings behind on either side, especially among the other people in your lives. I am older than all my brothers and I love them, but I couldn’t live with them. We have all grown up and have our own feelings and opinions and when recalling our childhood it is obvious we each have our own reality as we each experienced it and the memories we held on to and treasured.

    John Farnham, always gave %100 at every single concert and every single song. I have been to may concerts and have all his albums, he is the most crystal clear singer and performer ever. Every single person who hears him feel the same.

    And just to add to John's Bio he is a high-level Cutting horse competitor and breeder, and an all-round great bloke. I Bumped into him at a cutting comp and we chatted for a few minutes during which I thanked him for the many years of entertainment he provided, and he was almost embarrassed what a humble guy.

    You are right. I think it was written about a relationship breakdown.
    You can make it fit other scenarios as well, but every word makes more sense with that point of view.
