This reaction perfectly encapsulates why his cancer diagnosis was so devastating to us, as a whole nation. This guys is the soundtrack to several generations. His voice is a national treasure, and I feel so blessed to have grown up with it since the day I was born 🫶🏼

My reaction, too, everytime I play the youtube video of John's concert in Melbourne with not only his backing singers and band but also with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, and with huge audience participation. Mitch tambo - aboriginal heritage, check him out. Also, look up Icehouse and their song Great Southern Land.

The indigenous guy was Mitch Tambo. He won Australia’s got talent with his indigenous version of You’re the Voice. John absolutely loved it. And this performance was only a few months before John was diagnosed with mouth cancer from smoking.

I was in those fires and for 4 weeks it looked like nighttime. They still haunt me. Four times we got a text to evacuate, four times the roads out were cut and four times the wind changed when it was almost on top of us. Our only choice was the ocean if it kept coming and so many lost so much or their lives. John always came out for anyone that needed help. He always brought many others with him and Livvie usually came home too. Did you think at 70 he would sound different? He is our Legend for a good reason, a few but his voice and his heart are the top two probably followed by kindness. Thank you. ❤

John is a one of a kind, always pitch perfect, even in live performances, where you only have one take, no auto tune, no tricks, it’s just John and his magnificent voice.

Beyond flawless and with his trusted old band backup singers. So tight and such beautiful energy. He had already been sick and lost a lot of weight, but oh my god!! I had waited many years to finally see him live and was very thankful for the experience. Apparently this was his best night of that tour. Shortly afterwards, lockdown and then the cancer...Cherry on top: I got to meet him backstage! So precious. By the way, what about Tom Jones as a singer who kept his incredible voice into old age?!

Mitch Tambo is an aboriginal man who auditioned for Australia's Got Talent a number of years ago. He chose "You're the voice" to audition with and floored the judges and the crowd with his arrangement. It went viral and John saw it. Next thing I see is the 2 of them collaborating, this performance being one of them. I'd recommend searching for the AGT audition, it's phenomenal.

Daryl Braithwaite who was also on the bill and is great, but definitely wasn't able to hit all the notes the same as he used to. When John came out though, it was like listening to one of his albums.
