Darren Hayes was known for being the front runner (at one point) for the now defunct band, Savage Garden, before going out on his own. He was arrested last week on the charge of racism. He reportedly was racially abusive to a waiter in a Thai restaurant. There is more to the story, but I just have to say, if you’re racist why go into a Thai restaurant or any kind of ethnic place? I think I am missing something here.
Hayes was taken in by Westminster police for racially abusing the staff of Busaba Eathai on July 22. A spokesman for the Scotland Yard confirmed that a 35 year old man was arrested for the aforementioned crime. antiMusic is reporting that Hayes voluntarily turned himself in and is out on bail at this time. However, it is being said elsewhere that he is denying the claims of making racist comments.

He wore the Aboriginal flag performing at the closing ceremony of the 2000 Olympics. The arrest was for alleged verbal racial abuse and I think that alleged is really important. I don’t believe he racially abused anyone.
I don’t believe this allegation is true for one second. It’s either a misunderstanding or someone is out to maliciously slander a good man.
I don’t care if he did or not, people have done worst thing. This also is in no relation to his music, which is lacking originality these days.
