About this listen

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 the childhood trauma of growing up with a violent, alcoholic father, 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.

Wow Darren

I knew some of the things in this book, but for Darren to go into extreme details about the trauma in his life was sad, amazing, and astonishing all at once! I saw him in Washington DC in April 2023 and wanted to give him a hug then. Now after hearing this, I don’t want to let go. To Darren Stanley Hayes: you are loved and appreciated!

Heartfelt, Inspiring, Soulful

Darren exudes honesty, vulnerability, and intelligence in his retelling of his life story. He’s an excellent narrator. I’ve loved his music for decades. Now I also love his heart.

Heartfelt and Genuine

I love this man and knew I would love the book, however I couldn't have known that he would go so deep, sharing so much of himself. It's a tragic and wonderful tale of hurt, grief, joy, love, pain, healing, and so much more. And for him to read his own story made sure it was truly his voice that came through, both literally and figuratively. Thank you Darren. xoxo
