Delta Goodrem Supports Simple Plan’s New Charity Single

Delta Goodrem has made a special guest appearance in the music video for Simple Plan’s latest single “Save You.” The song was penned as a tribute to lead singer Pierre Bouvier’s brother Jay and his battle with non-Hodgkin lymphoma cancer. The film clip features cancer survivors from all walks of life, including Delta, Bif Naked, and Sharon Osbourne.

“We wanted this video to tell Jay’s story and the ones of all cancer survivors,” explained the band. “We want to show how strong people can be when facing adversity and hardship and how resilient the human mind and body can be. We wanted to relay a message of hope, survival and courage.”

Delta, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2003, jumped at the chance to support the music video.

“It was a pleasure to be invited to support Simple Plan in their crusade to make a difference in the fight against cancer,” she said.

You can see the video at this website – scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the version with Delta’s bit. But don’t just watch it. Proceeds from all iTunes downloads of the single will be distributed to local cancer charities in the country of the download, helping the world to get closer to eradicating this deadly disease.

Delta’s just announced a national tour, and it promises to be her most special yet. She’ll play some intimate theatre shows, allowing fans to get closer to their idol than ever before.

“It’s extremely exciting. I can’t believe it’s taken this long but I’ve already started putting the set list together and there are so many songs to play,” Delta said in a statement. “I have been inspired by some intimate shows I have done recently here and internationally, and by playing theatres I can be closer to all the people who have taken my record home.

“I would have liked to tour earlier, but I’m just glad I can finally tell people the dates when they ask me when I’m touring next. There are lots of songs from over the years people know to sing along with and I’m going to do some fun covers but I don’t want to spoil the surprise!”

Delta Goodrem’s Believe Again tour will kick off in the New Year in Newcastle before travelling all around the country. Considering the size of the venues, you’d better get you tickets quickly when they go on sale on Thursday 21 August.

New Song Obsession: "I Can’t Break it to My Heart" by Delta Goodrem

I have a confession to make: I love a good torch song. Give me some sappy lyrics and a strong melody and I’m a happy girl. So Delta Goodrem’s latest single “I Can’t Break it to My Heart” is right up my alley.

Just quietly, I found “Believe Again” boring and “You Will Only Break My Heart” a little lacking in substance, so I’m thrilled to see her back to her best with this single. Yes it’s super daggy, but I just love it. The song really seems to come alive when she steps on stage, so please enjoy this version from Delta’s Max Sessions concert filmed earlier this year!

Delta Goodrem in the Big Apple

Delta Goodrem arrived in New York a virtual unknown yesterday, but that all set to change as she works hard to promote her debut American album.

She’s scored a high-profile television slot on The View, and she’s also penciled in for an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. These TV gigs will introduce Delta to millions worldwide, so they’re guaranteed to get her noticed. Her fiance Brian McFadden has accompanied Delta on this important promotional visit.

Delta has released a repackaged version of her latest self-titled album in the United States. It includes her monster hit “Born to Try,” along with the new songs.

Delta is scheduled to return to Australia next month.

No Wedding Yet For Brian and Delta

Brian McFadden and Delta Goodrem announced their engagement last year, but don’t expect them to rush down the aisle any time soon.

While they originally planned to marry this year, they’ve pushed the nuptials back until 2009 to accommodate their careers. After all, Delta’s going to spend months in America promoting her album and Brian’s going to be touring his new album Set in Stone. Who’s got time to get hitched?

“Next year’s the wedding,” Brian told AAP. “We’ve had three years together every single day, and I think that whole three years was preparing for this year apart.

“It’s been hard but because we’re so prepared for it we knew we’d just work hard this year and try to set up the rest of our life.”

I really feel for them! I spent more than two years in a long distance relationship, so I know firsthand how much it can suck. On the flipside though, once you survive that I think you can survive anything! Good luck to them!

Delta Not Dumped, Brian Says

Well we don’t need to feel sorry for Delta Goodrem any longer. Just days after The Sunday Telegraph reported the pop starlet was dumped by Sony BMG’s American arm, fiancé Brian McFadden has set the record straight.

“The actual truth is she’s switched labels, she’s signed now to Mercury in America,” he told Melbourne’s Fox FM.

“I’ve been reading all week she was dumped but actually she’s over in LA right now shooting a video and the album cover.”

This is great news for Delta. Hopefully we see her receiving the international success she deserves soon!

Delta Dumped By US Label

Delta Goodrem’s bid to break into the US market has faced a major setback after she was dumped by the American arm of SonyBMG.

The record label had originally planned to release Innocent Eyes and Mistaken Identity as a double album. However now, according to The Sunday Telegraph, they claim Delta is not a viable act in America.

But Delta’s not going to let that stop her. She’s apparently in talks with other labels, and is likely to sign with Universal.

“I strongly believe I’ll have a career there one day,” she told The Sunday Telegraph. “I certainly haven’t admitted defeat. I feel I haven’t even started the battle.

“I’m completely new over there … it doesn’t matter that I’ve sold records anywhere else. You have to be a new artist, take the good with the bad, build strong bonds, with the people you’re working with.”

Special Effects Aplenty in New Delta Video

No expense has been spared in the production of the film clip for Delta Goodrem’s new song, “Believe Again.”

According to The Daily Telegraph it uses more than 100 special effects, which is more than most feature films! It took more than six weeks to create the visual masterpiece with teams in Australia, Los Angeles, and Spain. Wow!

And it’s a good thing too. While the video looks superb, this anthemic song is nowhere near as catchy as Delta’s last single “In This Life.” But as Delta’s Australia’s golden girl, I’m sure it’ll sell well anyway when it’s released today.
