1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nason John Farnham's memoir The Voice

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Drops Today.

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 2: The Voice inside it's called it drops on Wednesday.

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: Not today. Have we got a sneak preview?

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: This is we have a sneak preview. So this is

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 2: He's a very private man, but he's written about all

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 2: kinds of things in this book about his cancer diagnosis

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: is surgery. He talks about the earliers in his career

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: where his manager controlled him with drugs. Well, his first manager,

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: he'd give him amphetamines to keep him working at night

11
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: and sleeping pills in his morning coffee to knock him

12
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: out cold. So he's been very open and very honest

13
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 2: about so many things in his life. So as well

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: as the book, there's also an audio book released at

15
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: the same time that John has narrated post surgery in

16
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: his own voice. Here now is an exclusive snippet from

17
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 2: that book.

18
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: When I think back on my childhood, most of my

19
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 1: elly memories are filled with music. My dad was very musical.

20
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: He would wishle or seeing cons around the house, reading

21
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: the fafer, whatever he was doing music radio, that's from him.

22
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: It's the same with me. I love to whistle well,

23
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: I can't now because of all the surgery I had

24
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: on my mouth. But when I could, I whistled constantly.

25
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: I was the same as a kid. I'd whistle, hum

26
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: or sing wherever I went, totally unawares, completely in my

27
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: own world. One of my teachers obviously got sick of it,

28
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: because one day she stopped in the middle of class

29
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: and said, right, that's it, I've had enough for that.

30
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: Stick your it out of the window and sing. He's

31
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: got the whole world in his hands. So I did

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: stuck my head out of the window and broke in

33
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: the song, singing at the top of my voice. He goes, oh, world, Sorry,

34
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: I guess I can't blame that teacher.

35
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: It's interesting, isn't it hearing his voice like Adam. What

36
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: a challenge for him, I imagine, physically to read it,

37
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: but also emotionally, to very private man to lay his

38
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: life bare like that. So the book is called John

39
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: Are the Voice Inside, and the audiobook is released at

40
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: the same time on Wednesday, the thirtieth of October.
