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.

Deep in my soul
The rawness of this book is simply astounding it does require a few breaks to gather your thoughts but ultimately this is not just a book but its ART. I’m not normally one for showing emotion but the depth that Darren goes into to describing his life makes you feel like you lived it with him. 10/10 would recommend even if your not a fan of his music be mindful that this is a human being putting his life out in public view.

Truly emotional - thanks Darren
Having seen Darren perform on many occasions it was wonderful to listen to his story, told in a truly honest emotional way…..although almost 14 hours long…it flew by. Thanks Darren

A beautifully told story
After being a fan of Darren’s since 1999 I thought I ‘knew’ everything but wow…it was a heart wrenching story and some of the parts made me gasp and feel sad he’s been treated so badly by people he thought he could trust. It lovely that it’s been spoken by Darren himself, will listen to this again

His honesty
Wow what a journey Darren took us on. It’s a moving tale which had me in tears several times remembering my own traumatic childhood. Brilliantly read. I’ve loved this man’s music for more years than a care to remember. Being so honest and humble in this book which must’ve been so painful at times only made me love him more for his courage and healing.

Unusual topic for me
I liked his memories of his abusive parent, they helped me recognise abuse in my life . I had blocked these .

Darren Hayes my favourite singer\ songwriter ever
This was a fab account of the horrific childhood that this wonderful artist singer and songwriter ever endured which is unfortunately not as rare as we would like to think. He captures the way his dad made hi!m and his siblings feel really well, very relatable to anyone with a violent alcoholic father
