John Farnham’s Sons Give Update About His Health | 10 News First

Robert and James, the two sons of Australian music icon John Farnham have given an update about his health ahead of the world premiere of the documentary film about his career.
Farnham's family have confirmed that the singer has made a "full recovery" from a chest infection that sent him to hospital, several months after the 73-year-old underwent a marathon 12-hour surgery to remove mouth cancer.
The new documentary 'John Farnham: Finding The Voice', chronicles his career from being teen heartthrob Johnny Farnham to becoming Australia's King of Pop

Wonderful interview with Robert and James. Wow and John’s never watched interviews or anything about himself. Now there’s a real humble man with no big ego.

[@maryclaudiapitman]

I think he might be like most people and just doesn't like the way he sounds or looks on film

[@Simo76195]

Absolute gentlemen just like their dad. Wishing John all the best ❤

[@raccuia1]

I was shocked many years ago before the Whispering Jack album came out when John said he and his family were short of money to the point where they didn't have enough money to even go to Macca's.

[@joannematthews5836]

Such lovely boys with a lovely Mum and Dad. Sending lots of love your way John. Can't wait to see the movie xo🥰💙

[@barbaraschain9260]

I have just finished reading John's biography: "Playing to Win". Terrific read...well worth it and lots in there i didn't know. We Aussies can be very proud of him👍😊 What is clear though is that John IS a fighter and very tenacious. He has this on his side to battle his cancer, along with the love of his very close-knit family. 🖐😁❤

[@haleyrichardson8818]

Kiwis love him too ❤

[@milliefalitawerz5924]

No other voice like John Farnham, Get well soon John ❤🫶❤ ⚘️🌺⚘️

John is a total Aussie Icon and he deserves to be Celebrated , Go Johnny !!!!

[@kd2533]

John is such a talented and lovely person who's music is appreciated by many generations. His sons are just as nice - I'm the same age as them and feel grateful I saw Olivia and John perform. Wishing John well.

[@belindaworthing-parkes8081]

[@Chryslers1]

I went to watch the JF movie on Mother's Day with friends. I cried in silence bc his songs You're the Voice & especially Touch of Paradise brought back memories for me. Then I really cried. My friends were surprised to see me crying... sending lots of prayers & blessings to John Farnham. Heres to a speedy recovery ❤

[@animalsarethebest5117]

[@julieholland9639]

sending my warmest wishes to the family, I met john at our local airport years ago, nicest guy ever.

[@Daragh55]

Wishing John a full recovery. I am 63 so I don't consider him "that old"...."You're the Voice" still is something I listen to when I need inspiration and an instant pick me up.

[@Aangel452]

I met John for the first time when he was performing at the Doncaster shopping centre in Melbourne, it must have been 1980. He was singing all the early favourites like Sadie the cleaning lady, raindrops etc. I was Nine years old and he was 22 I think. I fell in love with him, and have followed his career ever since. Such a wonderful chap, entertainer, singer and Aussie icon. Wishing you a complete recovery John with peace and happiness to follow🙏🏻🥰

[@elcaminotonka]

Saw the movie yesterday 28/5/23. It is a great movie and i would recommend everyone get of your back side and go and see it. Dont forget to take a tissue with you, i choked back a tear or 2. Loved it, all the best to John and his family.

[@karenmusa3052]

Beautiful young men, mum n dad would be proud. Australia love this man like not many others. He's Our Voice 🥰

[@thethrowawaythatstayed7055]

John is a real Aussie with a fantastic sense of humour I remember he use to have dinner in the Nar Nar Goon hotel sometimes in the olden days I think some relatives use to live around this area I wish you all the best and your family you know we'll still love you very much ❤

[@jillconyers2710]

I can't wait to see!just love John, ❤

[@ktwashere5637]

I was a teenager in the 80s and 16 when Whispering Jack came out. Its hard to imagine now that he was pretty much a joke until that album came out. The album was revolutionary for him.

[@alyn927]

Can’t wait thankyou

[@marieminshull1400]

John is so beautiful voice awesome ❤ guy such a legend 💓 just amazing 🤩 i hope john is a little better well wishes for all the family ❤

[@kelleeblamey5214]

Loved this movie , what a legend ❤

[@maryclaudiapitman]

I remember his birthday party (i think his 50th) and I think it was James who performed with his band as part of the concert with all John's friends. I wonder what happened to that band

[@marypridham3823]

It was his older son Robert, and his band, who sang at that concert

[@karenlauricella4976]

Love John all the best to you and your family

[@aussieandy67]

Talk about like father like sons. Fame has not gone to any heads in this family. I hope and prey your dad recovers soon..All the best John

Which one had the blue hair at their dad's fiftieth? Very well spoken lads, speaks volumes about their parents.

[@francisbrown5469]

Jack has always been a straight up guy . Some of his "Friends" are a bit dubious But all I know since going to see him at Innaloo Rooftop Carpark and singing Sadie with him he planted great memories ...

[@HGCUPCAKES]

😢not Johnny Farnham too!!!! Love you Johnny!!!! ❤

[@davehad-enough2369]

Nice boys - well done John.

[@davidharding200]

Hi sons speak v well. He’d be proud I’m sure.

[@markhill9275]

Absolute Legend. Having said that, i really want to know why no one has done a bio movie about the greatest singer Aus has ever produced, the greatest female singer ever, who went through so many trials in her life, Judith Durham.

[@WrestlingErnestHemingway]

Little River Band needs a movie also told by the original creators & artists. Best wishes to Farnham.

I despise that saying ' it is what it is ' it is so f.....g flippant. IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE WHAT IT IS for effs sake. 😮😮😮

[@Saan42]

It's not flippant. It's an acknowledgement that some things we can't change. And actually, when you get cancer, you do need to accept that it is what it is, because there's nothing you can do to change the fact other than undergo treatment, which is obviously what's already happening in this case.
