From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Delta Goodrem (born November 9, 1984) is an Australian singer and actress, currently starring as "Nina Tucker" on the television soap opera Neighbours.
Delta Goodrem has had an interest in music, acting and sport from a young age, and appeared in television commercials and acted in many different television shows in Australia.
Her debut album Innocent Eyes was released March 3, 2003, and has been in the charts at or near the top since, and features five Australian No 1 singles. Most of the songs were written by Goodrem herself, and feature her instrumental skills on the piano as well as her voice.
So far, five singles have been released from Innocent Eyes and all have reached the number one spot in Australia:
In the midst of promoting her album, in mid-2003 she announced that she had Hodgkin's lymphoma, a form of cancer, and ceased work to begin treatment for the disease.
On October 4, 2003, while Goodrem was undergoing treatment, it was announced she was parting ways with her manager, Glenn Wheatley, one of Australia's best-known and most successful managers of popular musicians, apparently much to the surprise of Wheatley.
Goodrem capped off a professionally successful, though obviously personally traumatic, year by winning a record seven ARIA awards on October 21, 2003. She broke the previous record of six, held by Natalie Imbruglia. In the first week of December 2003 Innocent Eyes broke John Farnham's Australian record of 25 consecutive weeks at No 1 (Whispering Jack (1986)). In total, Innocent Eyes has spent 29 weeks at No 1 and tying her with Neil Diamond's Hot August Night (1972), as the second longest charting number one album in Australian history. Her album, Innocent Eyes has gone over 10x platinum in Australia alone, with sales in the United Kingdom reaching a high level as well.
Her DVD entitled "Delta" has been a huge success in both Australia and the United Kingdom and features many videos depicting her life up until now.
As of January 2004, Goodrem was well enough to attend the 2004 Australian Open at length, where she prominently supported Australian player Mark Philippoussis. In February 2004 it was announced Goodrem had won the lead role in the Australian comedy film Hating Alison Ashley, the movie based on the novel by Robin Klein.
Delta Goodrem recently posted the following messages about her treatment on her official website:
"I just want you to know, that while I'm feeling positive, it is still far too early to make a statement about my medical condition".
"I want you to know how much inspiration I get from all of your beautiful & fun messages and amazing encouraging words. So to everyone who has sent their love and support lately, I want to thank you so much for being there for me. I am lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful, positive friends".
