Darren Hayes was always a storyteller. As a child, in suburban Queensland in the 1970s, he told himself he was going to be a pop star – and he did it. Throughout Savage Garden’ s astonishing success – which included multiple Australian number 1s, cracking the US charts and selling more than 35 million albums worldwide – he kept telling us stories of love and longing, through his vulnerable, open song lyrics. But the reality of his life was much more complicated than the constraints of a three-minute pop song. In Unlovable, for the first time, Darren recounts the events and circumstances that shaped his unique life: from childhood trauma and his journey with depression, to the dizzying heights of worldwide fame in Savage Garden, and everything in between. Told in his own lyrical words, Unlovable is a magical dark fairytale that reclaims the terrors and obstacles of his past to reveal the fabulous artist he has become. As the lead singer and songwriter of Savage Garden and solo artist, Darren Hayes has sold over 30 million albums, achieved two US Billboard number one singles, won 14 ARIAs, 10 APRA songwriting awards, and in 2019 received an award in the Order of Australia by the late Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for services to the music industry. Darren has performed at the Royal Albert Hall, Sydney Opera House and Radio City Music Hall. He has duetted with Pavarotti, appeared at the closing ceremony of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games and twice headlined the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
