Darren Hayes Tour Dates
"At the age of six, I knew I wanted to be famous more than anything," says Darren Hayes, an Australian-born performer who became very famous as half of the chart-topping pop duo Savage Garden.
"At the age of 23 I was a star, but I saw through the facade pretty quickly. Now, I'm my late-thirties and I still know I was born to do this. And I know too that this new album, Secret Codes And Battleships is, beyond any doubt, right up there with the best I can do. I'm back at my fighting weight."
After two phenomenally successful albums with Savage Garden, three pioneering solo albums and 26 million sales, Secret Codes And Battleships is singer-songwriter Darren Hayes's first proudly mainstream pop album in four years and it might just be the best of his career. "It feels like I've woken up from a coma," he chuckles.

Below, Darren discusses his new single Blood-stained Heart
"The song means so much to me because I wrote it about a time in my life when someone close to me was going through a horrible time and I wished more than anything that I could step in and take the bullet for them. We've all experienced that helpless feeling of standing by idly while someone you love is suffering - and wished that you could absorb the impact for them. It's about those situations in life where, maybe you feel you are losing the battle, but you'll never lose your dignity."
