Days after announcing he and Columbia Records/Sony Music had parted ways, former Savage Garden singer Darren Hayes announced he had wed his boyfriend Richard in a Civil Partnership ceremony in London last month.
Hayes writes on his official website at DarrenHayes.com:
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.
That's so sweet, I hope the two of them are happy together <3
But does this mean Darren has a new label or is he without a label? I would hope he would be able to find one. "The Tension and The Spark" was a really good album. "Popular", "Hero", and "Unlovable" <3
