“It really was the scariest thing you could ever tell an 18-year-old is that ‘You have cancer.’”
But that’s exactly what doctors told Australian mega-star Delta Goodrem at the height of her success in 2003. Having just come off of a successful multi-platinum debut album, “Innocent Eyes,” in Australia, the UK, and Japan, Delta, in the middle of promoting the follow-up “Mistaken Identity,” was forced to take a step back from her career when she got the devastating news that she had Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
Now at 23-years-old, she’s won her battle with cancer and she’s ready to win over the hearts of the fickle American masses. Her new album simply titled “Delta” will hit stores July 15th. Her first single “In This Life” with its soaring chorus and piano-driven melody is an honest, uplifting track perfect to introduce the Sydney-born beauty to the USA.
The album is comprised of songs co-written or written in whole by Goodrem who has also written with Olivia Newton-John and for Celine Dion. She’s a breath of fresh air–an honest-to-goodness good singer who plays piano and writes her own music? Almost unheard of now-a-days. Don’t pass up the chance to join the rest of the world in enjoying this talent.

I love Delta! I’ve been a fan for a long time now and she never ceases to amaze me! She’s quite a trooper and a great role model to many girls.
What more can anyone want from an artist? She writes her music and sings beautifully. She also got the looks! I can’t wait for the US album to release.
Love Delta; can’t wait for her US debut! It’s gonna be great seeing her on this side of the world ;)
Deltas such an amazing artist.
I hope the rest of America figures that out too.
So glad she’s finally releasing something over here in USA.
I’m so excited for the release of her new album. Delta’s got so much talent. I can’t wait for the rest of the country to discover her!
Delta is so beautiful i am so happy she is reaching out for people here in America. Her lyrics are so inspiring and she deserves all the success she’s been getting. Delta <3
Delta’s the best! I can’t wait for the album to come out!
Delta is such an inspiration to many, be it through her amazing music or zest for life. I learned of Delta from a friend who’d traveled to Australia and have been hoping for a U.S. “Delta invasion” ever since! Can’t wait for this CD because the previous ones have been stellar. The U.S. loves you, Delta! :-)
I Love Delta, her lyrics are inspirational and her melodies are hypnotic. There is nothing that she doesnt touch that doesnt turn to gold, She is an inspiration and an Idol in a leauge of her own! I Will do nothing but continue to support and spread the Delta love as best as I can.
I think Delta is such an inspirational woman for anyone who knows her story, not to mention an incredible talent to introduce to the US audiences this summer. I don’t see why she won’t be welcomed to the US audiences with open arms!
Wow, it makes me so, so happy to see that Delta is finally releasing in the US. I discovered Delta last year while browsing youtube, but none of my friends had heard of her. Delta is someone who is gorgeous inside and out. Her music is so inspirational, and she is amazingly talented. It is truly refreshing to find a gorgeous woman with a brilliant voice who not only writes all of her songs, but plays the piano as well.
Delta is the real deal, and I hope American audiences will embrace her for who she is.
WOW – what a voice! Her story is one of a brave, courageous and strong young woman. She is very inspiring. After watching her video, I can see and hear why she has such a following overseas. She sings with raw emotion and you can hear her pain, heartache and joy in ever word she sings. Thank you for introducing Delta to us!
she has such a great voice, love it.
I love Delta. I’ve been a fan of hers since I visited Australia in 2004 and heard her song over the radio while shopping in David Jones (which is like Australia’s Neiman Marcus, I guess). I’m so glad she’s finally releasing an album in the US, because buying all of her imports was getting too expensive!
What an amazing artist and inspiration.
Delta is a very strong woman and so glad shes here in USA because she can bring some light and a nice voice to all people world wide!! she will succeed I know she willl go Delta!!!!!
I’ve been a Delta fan for sooo long and when i found out she was finally going to release here i was bouncing off the walls, i was so exstatic!!
She’s an incredibly strong person, an idol, and an inspiration. Her music is so very honest, i mean when she sings it’s so powerful and full of emotion you can just feel it. And there’s actually meaning behind her songs, unlike alot of artists.
With what she’s been through and how strong she’s been through it all, Delta is definitely a person you want to look up to.
She’s just simply an amazing and brave woman! We love you Delta
hi delta,all I wanna say is just this, certainly you don’t know who i am, but obviously I know who you are. although i’ve just known the name Delta Goodrem for several months since your album “delta” came out in Australia but I know that those months are long enough for me to keep you and your music in my life forever.
ps: im glad that you’d come to america finally, hope to meet u someday. :D
