Good news Canadian fans (hey, that's me! hehe)... a post from Carla from the Darren Hayes Sony Site states:

I have the official word on why the Canadian promo has been cancelled.

Good news is, it's not cancelled, its merely postponed. Strange Relationship will be going to radio there in May so they are planning to do some promo there around June. So, Darren will definitely be there at some point!

Apologies for the cancellations but, unfortunately, these things sometime happen. I will get back to you when I know exact dates and places :)

Thanks Chris. Click here to enjoy a web-interview with Darren from a German radio station that he visited on Friday last week. Don't be shocked, the moderator translates everything Darren said into German after he answered the questions. It's so funny!

Thanks Dyan! Click here to see TV stills from Darren's appearance on NBC's 'Today Show'. Also, click here to read the transcript!

Oh no, bad news! Darren Hayes' visit to Toronto has been postponed. There's no new date announced just yet, but his record label thinks maybe in June sometime (according to MuchMoreMusic). Thanks mcmug for the following info regarding Darren's appearance on 'Open Mike'

I just phoned Open Mike and they confimed that Darren has cancelled his appearence for next Tuesday 'cuz he couldn't make it to Toronto. The guy told me that the web-site is not updated but Darren's manager had phoned in to cancel yesterday. They haven't rescheduled it yet but he suggested me to call back next week.

Huge Tinkerbell for sharing this:

A-HA�s lead singer Morten Harket was at HR3 radio and he said it is very important that people believe the emotions in his songs, and that his singing causes emotions in his listeners. And that only very few singers are capable of this and that Darren Hayes is one of them. He mentioned Darren without being asked about him and without his name being mentioned before.

EntertainMe.com has a little note about 'Spin' on their site:

With just two albums as part of Savage Garden, Darren Hayes sold over 20 millions albums worldwide. Now, poised to make his solo debut with Spin, Darren's first offering brings that sweet full-bodied sound that Darren is known for. Hayes spent a year co-writing more than 35 songs for this project. Paired down to 12 tracks, Spin is distinctly Darren Hayes, yet his solo effort is destined to follow in the success of his past recordings.

Thanks Lain for the following information from Much More Music (Canada):

Top5.com is based on the MMM weekly playlist. The playlist is created based on different criteria, including radio statistics and album sales. Each week we hold a music meeting where we review the previous week's rotation and screen new videos. Since the playlist can only be a set number, as new videos are added, some must be dropped.

Darren Hayes is lucky to have such dedicated fans! ' Insatiable' is a great video and was a part of our playlist for several weeks. Hopefully, he will release a new video soon and maybe then you'll have the opportunity to vote for him again on MMM Top5.com.

FYI - Darren Hayes will be coming to Toronto on April 29th. You can look for him on The Loop, and we're working on the possibility of other programming as well.

Darren was suppose to appear on 'The Today Show' this morning, however it didn't happen and they are not sure to as of what happened. It may have been because of late breaking news taking up too much time. However, perhaps we can get them to reschedule Darren! Please e-mail today@nbc.com and ask them. Maybe if we all do that, they will see how many of us were looking forward to today and make sure they reschedule him for us. Thanks Cindy for this idea!

Thanks Kim! Apparently there was an ad on MFM 103.4 (Wrexham and Chester and surrounding area) that Darren will be on the 'Sunday Morning Cafe' show, this Sunday April 7th. The show starts at 10am. This must be one of the pre-recorded interviews from last month. This show is networked across many of the GWRGroup stations, so even if you're not in this area check this list of GWR Stations here and see if any are your local station. If you're not in the UK you may be able to listen online here (SGR Colchester) or here (2CR FM)
(see the listen now button top right)

Thanks Ema! eonline.com got a Darren question in their 'Ask Marilyn' section:
"Dear Marilyn: Do you have any new gossip on Darren Hayes, lead singer of Savage Garden? Is he dating anyone? Claudia, Boston

Dear Claudia: Aussie Hayes officially split with Savage Garden partner Daniel Jones in October and has embarked on a worldwide promo tour for his debut solo album, Spin, due out this spring.The 29-year-old singer says SG fans shouldn't expect the same dance-pop sound of his former band. Citing early Motown artists as his influences, he says the new CD is more sophisticated, more lush and very sexy. Hayes doesn't seem to be heavily involved with anyone right now--not that he has had much time while working on his solo CD--but he always keeps his personal life close to the chest."
