Darren Hayes releases new album 'Secret Codes and Battleships' this month. According to him though, there's one slight problem - some people seem to think that he's dead!
Speaking at his media showcase on Wednesday 28th September at the Hospital Club in London, the Australian singer explained:
"Sometimes I run into people in the street who come to me with grief saying 'I used to love you!' - I'm not dead!"
Clearly not! He has sold in excess of 26 million albums worldwide and his Savage Garden hit 'Truly Madly Deeply', was recently announced '1 Adult Contemporary song of all time in a survey by Billboard Top 100 to mark their 50th anniversary.
Hayes is soon to embark on a UK tour which has almost completely sold out, and will release album 'Secret Codes and Battleships' on 17th October in the UK, and 21st October in the rest of the world.
Not one to openly court celebrity he admits: "I'm not a great celebrity, but I'm absolutely passionate about my music".
