Default Darren Hayes officially out of the closet...marries

ETA: Darren Hayes is the former lead singer of Australian band Savage Garden.

Monday, 17 July 2006

I very rarely make comments about my private life.

But today, as I'm about to begin 6 months in the studio to record what I hope to be the best record of my career, I feel an overwhelming gratitude for the past 10 years of being a performer. Most recently, I've been moving toward a career that is more closely aligned with 'art' than it is 'commerce'. And in keeping on this trajectory - I have become increasingly more emotionally authentic in my music, writing and my relationship to my audience. As so many of you have given me your heart and soul over the past 10 years I thought it only fitting that I too return the respect and inform you of the most significant event in my life.

On June 19th 2006 I married my boyfriend of two years, Richard, in a Civil Partnership ceremony in London.

I can honestly say it was the happiest day of my life.

I feel lucky to live in an era where my relationship can be considered legally legitimate and I commend the UK Government for embracing this very basic Civil Liberty.

I'm proud of who I am, and after what felt like an eternity, I'm finally in a place where my heart is secure and content. And I can finally make sense of all of the searching.

I still maintain the belief that families and relationships are not commodities to be sold off for public consumption. In this regard, I am and will continue to be a public person with a private life.

I have always written songs about human relationships and our journey in life. I've never felt the need to differentiate or speak to a specific part of society. This hasn't changed. I will continue to write songs for everybody and hope that the feelings and thoughts I sing about are universal. Today, as I get on a plane to return to London, my head will be filled with all the future possibilities that I hope to explore musically.

To the people who buy my records, come to my shows and demonstrate on a daily basis their love and support for me and what I do: thank you.

Your overwhelming message to me lately seems to be that you are just glad that I am happy. For this, I am eternally grateful.

To my Mum, Dad, Sister and Brother - thanks for always being so cool and loving me unconditionally.

With love and respect always
Darren Hayes

My SIL had a big crush on this guy. I told her he was gay but she never believed it. Now she's married to this dude who some of us suspect is gay. She seems to fall for gay kinda guys...

It's funny when an obviously gay man "comes out". Like we didn't see this one coming.

Savage Garden was my favorite band for the longest time. I suspected Darren was gay, but the fact he was married before (to a woman he's still very close to) threw me off. Why, I don't know. Truth be told, his song lyrics should have tipped us off long ago. Denial is a wonderful thing.

The band broke up in 2001 while at the peak of their success and Darren has since gone solo. Unfortunately he never did see the success on his own that he had as a band. I still think he's one of the most underrated talents out there. Truly, Madly, Deeply is still one of the most beautiful songs.

Now I'm just waiting for one of my other favorite singers, Anthony Callea, to finally come out. Perhaps this will spur him on.....

I love his voice, and I love his music.
Truly Madly Deeply is a very lovely, beautiful song.
I think we all really figured he was gay, but just didn't care.

I hate to say this, but I think Darren Hayes voice kinds sounds like Michael Jackson's.
