[@kathleenjeffery4079]

I believe all of Oz is praying for John and his speedy recovery, he is so loved and respected here. I do love your reactions too Nick.

[@jacobbradbury8823]

And quite a few across the world. I heard Farnham for the first time back in the 80s and became a huge fan. Turns out he's as good a person as he is a singer, and that's quite something.

[@cudwieser3952]

Oz doesn't do prayers, we do actions.

[@wyattfamily8997]

Well said, he''ll be O.K. if prayers count for anything.

[@TheChristOfRockNRoll]

@@CryptikConstruct You do actions when you are in a position to do them....but if you can't do them....then you are stuck with either doing nothing at all or do prayers and pretend you've done something like talking to the air then hoping for the best! lol

[@jacklandsford]

I was lucky enough to have been cast as Johns Understudy in Jesus Christ Superstar in 1992 , he is a very positive person, and if anyone can beat it he can! Sending so much positivity to him and his family.

John is a vocal god. Unlimited.

[@suzyfarnham3165]

The fact that you love Farnham like we do here in Australia, just makes me so proud. He will beat this ...he has the backing of every Australian !! This man has the best voice of any singer alive. At 73 he still hits those notes every single time. Get well soon John.

[@sueaddison9958]

He will beat it! He has a strong healthy attitude and heaps to live for. Bless John Farnham 🤗👏🌏🪐🌕🙏🌟🇦🇺😎🐦🌟👣🦋🏡🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@beresfordthompson1370]

The greatest and most versatile male vocalist of all time and such a great performer, even doing some martial arts with the corded mic spinning the mic around like nunchucks and catching the mic back just in time to keep singing. You’re great, just epic.

[@MsWilson]

All of Australia is lending strength to John and his fight. He has touched so many of us and is more than just a 'singer'. He is the essence of what we call a good 'Aussie Bloke'. He is the greatest singer for sure, but he is also just one hell of a human. Love you John, always. PS Nick - he wasn't rushed. It was a planned surgery.

[@helentucker1001]

[@narellesmith7932]

John has made a wonderful comment to the press. Stating so many have walked this path and he has confidence in the health system he is receiving care from

[@grievesy83]

Wasn't it amazing?! He receives devastating personal news, which much be particularly hard given he just lost his friend ONJ to cancer days ago, and he IMMEDIATELY make it entirely not about himself. He is one of the greatest vocalists in the world but, more importantly, one of the very best people in the world. I don't think I've ever read or heard a bad word about him, and for good reason.

[@kerriethompson7234]

Brilliant , it’s like him saying he is just like everyone else

I was just about to post that - When I read it I cried, he is so wonderful, gorgeous, amazing, and a great guy - I have been watching reaction videos to John since before this horror hit him, my favourite is ThatSingerReactions - he is just the best, and I believe he truly appreciates the greatness of John

[@adammcdonald1839]

That’s beautiful projection , Johnny please heal 🙏❤️🇦🇺

[@reannejarvis9464]

I always used this song by John to check the sound quality of my new tapes to check the sound through the tape machine. Different brand tapes to see if the machine was on par. 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏿🤘🏼💋❤️

[@sharyndoyle6362]

When One came out out brought the record and then the album. The album I think had Comic Conversation, Jamie and the others. I just love him. A bloody down to earth man. I could never understand how Americans had never heard of him ? Although he never did concerts overseas. He obviously never had to. It is the way he is.

[@fortawesome1974]

The Age of Reason is my favourite song of John's!! I'm an Aussie and grew up with him singing!!

[@Amandicure21]

I grew up listening to Whispering Jack and his albums since, literally the first songs I sang in the shower (and I'm now a classically trained mezzo-soprano ) and to me this was just the norm. Just ol John Farnham. Only now, 30 odd years later do I understand how unique a talent he has. It was the norm to me growing up. I wanted to be Vennetta Fields or Lisa Edwards, his incredible back up singers. It's wonderful to watch your, and many other's, reactions to something I took for granted for so many years. He is truly a national treasure here in Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️

[@louisaklimentos7583]

I love John Farnham . He is Australia’s legend and you have a good voice yourself .

Breaking news here in Australia. John was admitted to hospital this morning to have cancer surgery. Apparently surgeons were confident they were going to be able to get it all so here’s hoping. The thought of possibly losing John does not bear thinking.

[@ronvds4713]

I think he was around 19 or 20 years old when he recorded this song. Over 50 years of brilliance.

[@hayleydavis1449]

He has sadly been diagnosed with cancer....How awful....He just lost a very dear friend to it. In typical Farnsey style he delivered a message that was all positivity and class. We're behind you Farnsey! All the way. You got this!

[@EileenSpeakman]

It is not si easy to name a favourite, so many different styles, and they are all so brilliant - phenomenal Farnsey just cannot be surpassed. When I listen to his singing I often wish he'd recorded more in the lower registers because, again, there is so much depth of emotion there.. I love Youre6 the Voice, and It's a long way to the Top. It just outdoes AC/Dc - astonishing. I watch all the videos that have been posted on youtube to the degree that I can now 'see' the whole performances in my mind. It's just beautuful. 14.9.23. E❤

[@alexandermuir8160]

Too right. I was diagnosed with skin cancer a month ago. I was operated on a week after that, and the Doctors managed to get it all. My wife contracted breast cancer in 2005. After extensive treatment, she went into remission 5 years later and too this day it has not come back. She managed the complete process like she it was her job. Positive energy and attitude help in defeating the Big C. John will do the same. He has the same attitude.

[@baird55aus]

I was devastated when Olivia passed away and it seems that it was then that John got his diagnosis. He wasn't rushed to hospital, they just didn't tell the media until the morning of his operation. It was successful and he had part of his jaw removed - whether he sings again is anyone's guess, praying for him ❤

Prayers to John. I was devastated when I read that on Twitter yesterday. I definitely want him alive for a long time, particularly since I only just discovered him a few years ago and began actively listening to him thanks to your reactions. I think he’s a fabulous human being and I just because of his talents but because of his personality. Very humble and seems very down to earth. I wish him the best. I like this performance because he’s using his more mature voice and edgier voice, unlike the younger performance we saw a few months ago. He definitely needs to live long enough to keep singing this song! Let’s all hold hands and believe and pray. You got this, John!

[@diannebernau3293]

This is so hard to watch, Nick. I can only assume that John and his family received the diagnosis about the same time we lost Olivia Newton-John. I only hope she didn’t know as she would have been devastated, as we all are. I have been a fan of John’s since the beginning of his career - the very first single I bought was John’s, I was a member of his fan club, had all his records and kept scrapbooks of his career, went to appearances at shopping centres to get his autograph, and attended numerous concerts and theatre shows he was in (one where he met his wife). To say I love this man is an understatement. He is not just a great entertainer but an amazing human being. John is royalty and a legend in Australia and loved beyond measure. I am glad you have discovered what we have known all along. Hope John recovers quickly. 😘💕🥰🤗🇦🇺.

[@JoelWende]

Nah, he would have had the diagnosis a while ago and kept it secret. They don’t do this type of majorly drastic surgery without trying other options first. The likely hood is that he has already gone through rounds of chemo and radiotherapy in attempts to to reduce the tumours. It then takes significant time for the team of surgeons to plan out the surgery. They don’t go in for something like this without knowing exactly what their plan is! John cancelled a series of concerts at the end of last year. It’s most likely that’s when he got the diagnosis.

[@Bertiebee]

Thankyou for your Farnsey videos! 🙏🏼 I’m on a bender watching your wonderful reaction videos to JF tonight …I am loving your videos so much, they are providing comfort, humour and POSITIVITY, so thank you so much.

I very much doubt he will ever sing again but there are so many wonderful videos of him singing so people won't miss out. I hope they got it all.

Don't worry, they all the TV networks have opened up a proper account where everybody can just send their well wishes to him by email and when he's feeling better with his family he will be able to read all of them. When news first broke about this ,the whole of Australia just stopped and took a breath. If it's comes to the point where he can no longer perform, it's ok because his health is most important . Just look at all the music John has given us , and nobody gets sick of listening to his music , in fact we'd be greedy to ask for more. Music is his legacy to all of us.
