He's best known as the vocalist of the hugely popular 90s duo Savage Garden, whose international hits included "Truly Madly Deeply", " I Want You" and "I knew I loved you".
Hayes' first solo album Spin was released in 2002, carrying on in the same musical vein as Savage Garden, with a less soft rock sound and more edgy R&B vibe, although the first single Insatiable was a ballad, reaching Number 3 in Australia. Other singles "Strange Relationship", "Crush (1980 Me)" and "I Miss You" also performed well in charts.
Hayes spent two years working on his second solo album, The Tension And The Spark. Other than the track "I Forgive You" which was produced with Madonna collaborator Marius De Vries, the entire album was produced by Darren himself and Robert Conley (with whom he had previously toured and recorded Crush (1980 Me) for Spin). The album marked a bold change of direction from Hayes. Conley's production was almost entirely electronic, with acoustic instruments buried under walls of sequenced sounds. Although artistically this was a huge step forward and earned Hayes the strongest praise of his career, it seemed to alienate a large portion of his audience who were expecting another album of radio friendly pop songs. The first single Pop!ular was released on July 12, 2004. This single reached Number One on the US Dance Charts, and fared well in the UK. His follow up single, Darkness, failed to chart, leaving Dublin Sky - the planned third release - in limbo. Ironically, "Dublin Sky" was considered by many to be one of the strongest and most accessible songs on the album and the most likely to be a hit.
Truly Madly Completely, Savage Gardens greatest hits album was released in late 2005 and featured two new songs - So Beautiful and California. The tour, 'A Big Night In with Darren Hayes' followed in 2006. In July 2006, Hayes announced that he had married his boyfriend of two years, Richard Cullen, in a Civil Partnership Ceremony.
Hayes released a double album, This Delicate Thing We've Made, on 20 August 2007 on his newly formed independent label ''Powdered Sugar''. "The record features 25 songs recorded with the help of a Vintage 1983 Fairlight CMI syth - a cinematic, theatrical and epic Pop Opus." The first single to come from Hayes' third album was On the Verge of Something Wonderful to be followed by Me, Myself and (I) later in 2007.
In mid 2010, Hayes announced the completion of this fourth solo album. It is being mixed by Robert Orton. The album will be released in 2011.
The first single from Darren's new album Secret Codes and Battleships is called 'Talk Talk Talk' and will be released on iTunes worldwide on June 24 the same day it is delivered to radio and the music video is released online and debuts on T.V.
Darren wrote and recorded the song in Sweden with producer Carl Falk - it was mixed by Robert Orton and mastered by Bob Ludwig.
On iTunes there'll also be a b-side - Darren's cover version of Madonna's 'Angel'.
2022: Do You Remember?
On 26 January 2022, Hayes released a new single, "Let's Try Being in Love". A music video for the song was released the same day, starring Hayes and featuring actor Scott Evans. The video was directed by Andrew Putschoegl.[20] Referred to as a "queer anthem"[21] by NME, in promotional interviews, Hayes explained “I’ve been married to Richard [Cullen] for almost 17 years, [and] I’m in this really comfortable place in my life. But at the same time at mid-life I’m grieving the fact I never got to celebrate who I really was at the period of my life where I was most famous. I look at this world we live in now where someone like Lil Nas X can push forward his true self, full of pride and self-love and have the chance to be loved for who he truly is [...] A lot of the time I was my most famous, I was deeply sad.” Less than 24 hours of release, "Let's Try Being in Love" debuted at number 96 on the Official UK Singles Download Chart Top 100 and at number 98 on the Official UK Singles Sales Chart Top 100.[22][23] “I wanted to show I love the feminine in me, be proud of the gay me. There’s a dance scene that is so passionate, everything’s alive and thriving and blooming. That’s how I feel in general about music. And that’s a hugely sharp contrast to how I felt 10 years ago.”
On 27 January 2022, Hayes announced he would be headlining the 2022 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade and would be performing on 5 March 2022.[24] Hayes performed "The Animal Song", "I Want You", "Affirmation" plus, live for the very first time, "Let's Try Being in Love".[25][26][27]
Since 2013, Hayes stopped his music career and tried to build stand-up comedy career. At the same time, he kept creating short singing videos in his social media accounts for his fans. In 2018 Hayes briefly returned on stage with one-off performance of two songs, including "I Knew I Loved You". In 2019, Hayes featured on Cub Sport’s single “I Never Cried So Much in My Whole Life”. He did not appear in the official video. In 2020 he recorded a new version of "Truly Madly Deeply" with slightly modified lyrics. The video of his studio performance was released on YouTube on 24 April.
On 2 March 2022, Hayes announced the "Do You Remember?" Tour that would be performed in six Australian cities between January and February 2023 and would feature songs from his musical career as part of Savage Garden and as a solo artist. On 10 March 2022, Hayes released the single "Do You Remember?",[28][29][30] following with the official video on 16 March 2022.[31]

@O S Well it was a bit ignorence and the high political tensions going on. See I'm a huge fan of savage garden but honestly hadnt followed Mr Hayes much since 2010 after my father passed. I made the assumption that he hadnt gotten his American citizenship yet and was misinformed also thinking that it was a fan page and not HIS page but a$$ U Me you know. After the wonderful reply of mr hayes (could have been better and less rude but the blames on me for it clearly.) To the point I even made a public apology on my fakebook (not a typo) page and his but never heard a response to my apology.
I get the political spectrum being very toxic right now and especially back then in 2019/2020 but having known what I had of Mr Hayes I hadnt expected such a harsh reply. (Thats where the hero part comes in... I put him on a pedestal and found out he's just like us.) I wont repeat what was said as it really doesnt matter I suppose in the long run. I know it was on voting and thats where the citizenship part came up as i knew he was from Australia and had become a citizen of the U.K....
Ultimately I guess I just hoped he got my apology and perhaps instead of letting politics divide us, instead showing a humbleness that I learned from him...
Sad there was a part of my life I considered him my best friend as Crash and Burn really helped me thru some rough times and hearing that song gave me hope. Sorry for such long replies I'm a bit of a talker when you get me going. Lol
Now I just try to live by a quote my dad used to say, "Make your tomorrow what you wish your past was." So if it means admitting I was wrong then I do so with knowing ive bettered myself at the very least.

Such an absolutely amazing version of Truly Madly Deeply.. I lost my baby girl 23 years ago and every time this song came on the radio she would kick it was definitely her womb song.. I was a young girl at the time and had a mental breakdown and Darrens music used to bring me comfort and light when I was in a truly dark place.. Now every time I hear Truly Madly Deeply I think of my daughter.. Thank you for such amazing music
Kelli Brown
What a touching story Cindie! I just sent my 21 year old daughter a text with the song I knew I loved you by Savage Garden telling her that that song played in my head when I was pregnant with her and “we” had to have a Care Flight helicopter fly “us” to the hospital to stop my preterm labor. That song has always brought tears to my eyes because I was so comforted by it during one of the most stressful days of my life. I completely understand your connection to Truly Madly Deeply ♥️ Sending you love today!
John Paul Chadwick
I hope you have found peace ❤️
Bryan Holloway
WOW
Lill Angel
So sorry for your loss I’m glad this song brings you comfort
Bryan Holloway
@Lill Angel No it doesn't really give comfort. It slaps me with harsh reality that I must face. She is now a member of God,s Kingdom now. Suicidal thoughts for 3 years until the realization that if I did that I would not be able to join her later. My condition was so bad that I had to have a Soultie broken to be able to function. She told me that I could have another woman in my life just don't marry her because I have your last name. I'm Christian and when led by the Spirit lead others to Christ. I haven't done that in awhile but have blessed many. Being Solivate sucks. Yet it would mean being True to someone which is a Attributes that I have always had. Most of all I just want to make God smile when he thinks of me.
Sandra Mateus
Darren's voice always saved me from strong attacks of anxiety and panic, his voice comforts me absurdly.
I loved this version of this wonderful song.
Aditya Sharma
Hope you are doing better now. Wish you the best of health, always.
Nishant Saurabh
Probably the best singing voice, so calm and seductive.
Basma Al-Askari
I actually stopped breathing while listening to this …Darren your voice is better than ever …love from Brisbane 🇦🇺❤️
