10:57AM Clem Bastow | We’re afraid it’s true, ladies and gentlemen. Dan O’Connor, he of the variety of nose bridge not seen since
Michael York in The Island Of Dr Moreau, is leaving our screens.
If you cast your minds waaaay back, you may recall that O’Connor – prior to being a sissy bitch who cried when Janae left him – was once an underwhelming Australian Idol contestant, and it seems that the musicality pulsing through his veins is crying out to be released once more, so in a move of striking originality, he’s
leaving Ramsay Street to relaunch his singing career.
We can’t wait for that one!
The former Campbelltown lad (in Sydney’s west) has announced he’s leaving his soap stud-dom behind in April to concentrate on a music career.
Signing new management and with plans to head to Britain in June, the Australian Idol favourite says he hopes to have a pop/rock album ready for release by the end of the year.
“To try to do music and the show at the same time is really hard. I wanted to commit to it (music) 100 per cent.”
We’d say something here about “you’d want to commit to it 100%, since you suck at it”, but it’s Monday and we’re trying to start the week on a positive note.
So, good luck, Dan! See you at the ARIAs, mate!
