Concert / The sexiest, most beautiful, most tender, most romantic australian - these are the words that fans use to describe this grey-eyed brunet [he's a blue-eyed blond!] and not in vain: Darren Hayes is included on the list of 50 most beautiful people on the planet. [This is news to me. Is it news to you?]

Salmon Background: A bouquet of hits from Savage Garden

When young Hayes decided to take up music, his father often begged him, 'have mercy on me, son. besides, the neighbours are complaining that our chain saw has a falty motor again. [hahaha!!!] and we don't even have any chainsaws, just you rehearsing!' but all parental sufferings came to fruition when Savage Garden became the most popular band in Australia in all of the continent's existence.

The name of the band was taken from an Anne Rice novel 'The Vampire Lestat,' in which she describes the world as a savage garden. Having a solo career, Hayes decided to remain a 'savage gardener,' continues to perform under the name of Savage Garden [no he doesn't!], and has already conquered Russia with his two new hits.

Darren is a vegetarian, is very absent-minded (he constantly loses things; once he bought 20 pairs of sunglasses and managed to lose them in 20 days), and falls in love easily. "I fall in love catastrophically fast. For love I would even sacrifice my career." When he is depressed, like a woman, he eats chocolate and goes shopping. At present, he is married but only on paper; for the last 2 years he and his wife have been separated. (Note from Fran: Not sure of the accuracy of that info) So the female fans have a chance if they learn how to cook Italian dishes, which Darren loves. On October 23rd, Darren Hayes in in the Ice Palace. -Elena Vishna [means 'cherry' in russian].
