"22nd October 2003 - Message from Darren re Delta Goodrem


I just wanted to express my admiration and appreciation to Delta Goodrem, Sony Music, Mark Pope and ARIA for the incredible honor of singing for Delta at this years ARIA awards in Sydney Australia. It was everyone's wish to ensure the evening remained a moment for Delta - thus the complete secrecy of my participation and attendence until the moment I appeared on stage. Even my Mother and Father didn't know I was coming home to Australia for the event.. but it was done that way out of respect for Delta and her incredible triumph over her recent illness and of course her amazing musical achievements. My trip home was not one of self promotion but a favor for a fellow Australian and friend. I was humbled and honored to lend my voice to someone who temporarily couldn't find her own.
Here's wishing Delta a speedy recovery and the continued successful musical career she deserves.

Love always
Darren Hayes"

boy that was quick of them to get rid of that LOL

thanks for posting it up Barb!!! It was a great gesture and I bet he was honoured to be asked!!

heres a snippet that someone had posted from one of the papers.. smh I think

"Wasn't Darren Hayes spot on?
Called in from the US to pitch-hit on a piano-only version of Delta's Lost Without You, he found more in the song than anyone, including it's author, would have a right to expect. He gave a powerful, naked performance of a track that relies on a lot of clothes."

There was a well thought out and polite explanation for it's removal from one of the mods over there [img]wink.gif[/img]

^ they basically just said it was removed cos it was removed. No proper (or polite and reasonable) explanation was given.

Then again, they don't have to explain things since "the mods decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into".
