John Farnham Tickets Continued
His first commercially-successful recording was a novelty song
entitled "Sadie the Cleaning Lady", in 1968, which sold 180 000 copies in
Australia, the largest-selling single by an Australian artist of the
decade.
Farnham's 1986 solo album, Whispering Jack, would go on to become the
biggest-selling album in Australia in the 80s, and one of the most
successful of all time, selling over one million copies and remaining the
number one album on the Australian ARIA Charts for 27 weeks. The single,
"You're the Voice", was also a number one hit in several European
countries. The album is probably best described as pop-rock, with
Farnham's powerful voice soaring over well-written songs.
Farnham released several more albums throughout the 1990s to
considerable success, though not to the same degree as Whispering Jack.
With albums, such as "Chain Reaction", "Then Again" and "Romeo's Heart",
Farnham continued to show his versatility.
John Farnham went on a concert tour with Olivia Newton-John and Anthony Warlow in "The Main Event".
Millions around the world also watched as Farnham sang "Dare To Dream"
with Olivia Newton-John at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. Farnham also frequently performs with good friend Tom Jones.
In 2002, Farnham released a new album, The Last Time, and held a
countrywide concert tour, taking a circus-style tent to smaller towns. As
the title suggested, this was to be Farnham's last major tour, but the
singer, from the start, insisted that he was going to work live and hit
the road for short periods of time again. He broke Australian touring
records, performing with his 10-piece band from November to June 2003,
becoming the seventh most profitable touring act in the world.
