About this listen
At last, the unflinching and unforgettable memoir of music and life from the much-loved Australian legend. The Voice, in his own voice.
Growing up in London and Melbourne, music was always part of John Farnham's world. But the young John never dreamed of what was to come. Pop stardom in the 1960s. The release of Whispering Jack, the critically acclaimed and highest-selling Australian album of all time. A decades-long touring career. Twenty-one ARIA awards. Australian of the Year. The list of accolades and achievements is long - so, at first glance, the John Farnham story is one filled with remarkable highs.
It is, however, so much more than that. It is the story of the resilience John found as his stellar career stalled, record companies turned their backs, and he faced financial ruin. John has never shown how hard he fell and how difficult it was to stay true to himself in an industry that can be ruthless. It is the story of family, friendship and finding your voice.
Throughout a lifetime filled with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, John has remained steadfast, never losing his unique musical talent, creative strength nor his powerful ability to make human connections through his music. After his devastating cancer diagnosis and far too many goodbyes, John is now telling his story, his way.
The Voice Inside is like sitting down with an old friend sharing stories that are both deeply personal and wildly entertaining. Written alongside award-winning filmmaker Poppy Stockell, this is a captivating and powerfully honest insight into the man whose music is the soundtrack to so many of our lives.

To hear John’s voice again
I can’t begin to express how nice it is to hear John’s voice again. He may not be singing here but yeah it brought a tear to my eye. Never met him but he seems like a terrific bloke and I’ve been listening to his music since I was all of five years old! It’s like hearing from an old friend in a funny sort of way. Thank you to everyone involved who made this book and especially audiobook happen. And thank you to John for a lifetime of great music and great memories. I think we all keep hope he’ll one day sing again. Here’s to that!

Absolutely mind blowing
I loved it from beginning to end. I cried and laughed. I felt as if I was sitting in a room and being told this story by a group of friends. I especially love Jill’s honesty and tough love. I could relate to her and John’s relationship. Similar to my husband’s and mine. Thank you for sharing this story with us. Pat Tonner

Australia's Son
I loved listening to John tell his life's story. You realise how real and down to earth he is. Maybe thanks to his loving wife. I just loved this book. Thanks for sharing John.

I thought I knew
I thought I knew this man. But to hear this, with John's own voice narrating, what I thought I knew, just scratched the surface.
The book is amazing. But to hear it in John's own words. It's a story that will make you laugh, cry and be incredibly proud to live in the same lifetime as John Farnham.

SO PROUD
As an Aussie, lm so proud of every step of his journey. Wasn’t easy even though he was born with such an exquisite talent. But he had faith in his talent & so did the best people around him. And l couldn’t be happier for his success & recovery. Such an honest & humble account x
