HE may still consider himself just a lad from Logan but chart-topping
popstar Darren Hayes obviously enjoys looking at life with a
Hollywood tint.
Or perhaps he is no longer accustomed to the savage Queensland sun.

The 30-year-old former "other half" of defunct pop duo Savage Garden
yesterday refused in true celebrity-style to remove his designer wrap-
around sunglasses as he posed for the cameras.

Hayes – who now spends much of his time in San Francisco – is
back home to promote his debut solo album, Spin. Last night, he
showcased the album at an invitation-only performance at Warner Bros
Movie World on the Gold Coast.

Earlier, the singer renowned for loving the spotlight and glare of
publicity, made a brief public appearance looking like the boy next
door – except, of course, for those sunnies.

Oblivious to many of the theme park's funseekers, the newly-blond
Hayes arrived for a presentation by Premier Peter Beattie of gold and
platinum records for his album and hit single Insatiable,
respectively.
