The murder trial for Yanfei Bao begins as children in youth facilities continue to rebel against those trying to help them. The NZDF continues to keep a close eye on their ship.
Writing in his upcoming memoir, The Voice Inside, which has been previewed in the Sydney Morning Herald, Farnham explained: “My facial disfigurement from the surgery means I can’t open my mouth wide enough for a strip of spaghetti, let alone to sing.
“I can’t get the movement to make the sounds I want to make, that’s where the vibrations and my voice come from. It’s a very disconcerting thing. And trying hurts.”
However, he is hopeful that he will be able to sing again in the future.
He wrote: “I was given a gift and to be able to get out there and affect people in some way was special, I would like to continue doing that. Though I am not putting all my hopes into it, we’ll see.”
John Farnham was a lifetime smoker until 2019, when he gave up the habit due to health concerns.
He said: “Cancer doesn’t discriminate, but as soon as I was told the results, I couldn’t help thinking it was my own fault, I smoked very heavily all my life”.
Meanwhile, speaking previously about his book, Farnham said: “I don’t enjoy talking about myself, I really don’t”.
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m an egomaniac, but dredging up the past is just not something I’ve ever really enjoyed.
“I’ll try to share as much as I can, but that’s not easy because I’ve never really been that open. I guess there are reasons for that. Reasons for my reluctance.”
