Iconic pop vocalist Darren Hayes reveals the death of his mom: ‘My heart is broken’
devastating news with fans overnight on Instagram, posting a lengthy tribute to his mom who passed away peacefully last week.“I am heartbroken to announce my beautiful, extraordinary, magnificent, wondrous Mother, Judy, passed away peacefully surrounded by love on January 17, 2025 in Brisbane, Australia,” he wrote.“I am absolutely devastated, as are her siblings, her grandchildren, my sister, our close family and all of her wonderful friends and anyone who knew her. She was the kindest person any of us knew and everything I know about love, I learned from her.”Hayes, 52, said he is not in the right mind frame to “have a conversation or engage in dialogue about this immense loss” of the woman whose “presence in my life was the engine to my heart.”But he appreciates the “outpouring of empathy for my family and your appreciation for her.”“We always had an invisible string, a magical connection that was unbreakable no matter where I was in the world,” said Hayes, who reached astronomical success with Savage Garden.“I like to imagine that string was a little bit like twine and she a beautiful balloon.
