brain & delta (live)

 They met while recording their duet "Almost Here", on August, 2004, an their first kiss was after the Royal Variety in London, on December 2004.
Later, the relationship became public, when Brian and Delta was caught on camera on their South African Christmas Holiday.

Brian about their first kiss: "At the Royal Variety she was wearing a lovely dress and she looked stunning. At the after-show party I snogged her. I don't think she was too drunk but I was a bit."

Delta Goodrem and Brian McFadden have pushed back their wedding until 2009 as both singers spend this year focused on their careers.

The couple, who became engaged late last year, had originally hoped to marry this year.

But they will spend much of this year apart, with Goodrem in America for months at a time trying to crack the US market, and McFadden travelling in support of his second solo album, Set In Stone.

"Next year's the wedding," McFadden said.

"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."

Set In Stone, which is being released Saturday, is the result of two-and-a-half years' work for McFadden.

The 28-year-old wrote 150 songs for the album, with 10 finding their way onto the record.

"When I'm in writing mode I pretty much write every single day," McFadden explained.

"As I wrote I went through a period of writing rock songs for a couple of months, and then pop songs, and dance songs and all different kinds of songs.

"By the end I just kind of had the best ones from each genre, because I wanted every track to be something different ... to keep me from getting bored."

McFadden said most of the songs are autobiographical, but since his last album, Irish Son, that is not so obvious because he is better at disguising their meaning a little.

"I didn't really leave much to the imagination in the lyrics (on Irish Son), so this time I wanted to make sure people wouldn't judge me from the words," he said.

"I wrote the lyrics in the way that they could have three or four different meanings.

"If people ask me I'll just say make up your own mind."

However, McFadden readily admits Like Only A Woman Can is about Goodrem.

The entire album is dedicated to his fiancee, whom he credits with having a "massive" influence on him, musically.

"I didn't really want to write songs or perform any more and she just kind of dragged me out of that box," he said.

"She breathed a lot of confidence into me as well, which I never had."

While he is a star in his own right in the UK from his days in the Irish boy band Westlife, in Australia McFadden is better known for being Mr Delta Goodrem.

He doesn't get sick of talking about her, but would like to be recognised primarily for his music.

"It can be a little frustrating at times," he said.

"I did something last night where they introduced me as Delta Goodrem's boyfriend Brian McFadden.

"I'm like, 'Am I actually changing my passport to that now? Is that my full title?"

"It would be nice to have the tag: Brian McFadden, musician and singer. And Delta's Goodrem's partner."

Deltra Goodrem talks wedding plans
Former Neighbours actress turned recording artist Delta Goodrem has revealed that she is in the process of planning her wedding to singer Brian McFadden for 2009.

The 24-year-old bride-to-be is currently making preparations to tie the knot with the Westlife star later next year.

Speaking about her wedding plans at a recent red carpet event in New York City, Delta commented: "It's going, it's on its way. We're looking forward to it, we're looking forward to getting married now.

"We're just trying to organise it at the moment."

The celebrity couple announced their engagement in November 2007, after three years of dating.

A year before they met, when Delta was just 18, she was diagnosed with a form of cancer - Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Brian separated from ex-wife, reality TV personality Kerry Katona, in 2004 after two years of marriage. During their relationship they had two daughters, Molly, seven and five-year-old Lilly-Sue.

FOR their sake, let's hope they can break the curse of the singing lovebirds. Romantic bliss has famously eluded such crooning duos as Ike and Tina, Sonny and Cher, Peter and Liza, Kylie and Jason.

Now Delta Goodrem and her Irish fiance Brian McFadden have announced they will hit the stage together when the lovers team up for her Believe Again national tour in January.

Goodrem is billing beau McFadden as her "special guest" rather than her "support act".

It will be Goodrem's first national tour in more than three years. She has been concentrating on cracking the US market.

Since leaving the group Westlife, father-of-two McFadden has achieved success with his solo album Set in Stone featuring hits such as Like Only a Woman Can and Twisted.

"I'm very much looking forward to the tour with Delta. Performing is what we love to do and being on the road and touring together makes it even more special," said McFadden.

LOVEBIRDS BRIAN McFADDEN and DELTA GOODREM have called in security experts after the ex WESTLIFE star was overwhelmed by a torrent of abuse on Twitter.
Brian has exchanged a series of public online arguments with a cyber stalker, who calls himself "Saviour Mankind".

The chilling messages profess Saviour's love and "ownership" of Delta, while urging Brian to call off their engagement.

In one sickening post he wrote: "Brian McFadden if you harm a hair on Delta's head you will be the first to return to the gas chamber."

Angry Brian then replied: "You are close to harm! I have your address and if something unfortunate happens to you I will be very sad! Be carefull (sic).

"If you tweet me or Delta one more thing I will find you and hurt you."

The cyber stalker also called himself the "last new soul of our kind" and in a message for Delta said: "I'll kill to be with you."

Brian, 29, and Delta, 24, are now reportedly



considering seeking a restraining order.

Delta's agent Jennifer Fontaine told Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper: "We have security looking into it."

Brian and Delta were due to tie the knot at Christmas but the nuptials have now been delayed.




Brian McFadden and Delta break-up rumours

News that Brian McFadden moved out of the Sydney house he shared with Delta Goodrem and into a roomie situation is a sign the betrothed lovebirds may have split, according to a UK report.


The UK Mirror claims McFadden's move not to mention Goodrem's clearing out to the US is to allow the pair to get a bit of 'space'.


The paper notes the couple has been 'engaged for yonks with no sign of an actual wedding'. McFadden, previously married to the notorious Kerry Katona, is now shacking up with a video director, Dan Reisinger.


The father of two girls with Katona has cleared out of the $2million (£1.2million) Sydney home he shared with the clean-cut Australian songstress while she jets back to the US for yet another attempt to break it and make it there.


A friend said: 'Delta working away a lot in LA and Brian gets bored by himself. Dan been staying with his mum for a while and wanted to spread his wings a bit so they decided it would make sense to move in together. They get on really well and are looking for a bachelor pad they can call home.


'Delta hasn,t been around to have any say in what he does, things don,t seem great between them at the moment. Brian kids have been asking when they will get married, but they have come up with excuse after excuse blaming everything from hectic work schedules and the World Cup, to Brian,s smoking habit. Now his moving out sounds like alarm bells to us. Delta must be worried he is going to be doing some serious partying with his pal.'

LA style is fine in Bondi too for Delta Goodrem

LA style ... Brian McFadden and Delta Goodrem in Bondi
AFTER just a few months in Los Angeles, Delta Goodrem has become accustomed to Hollywood.
Rocking the messy hair/mega footwear look that is all the rage in la la land, the songbird cut a swath through Bondi this week following lunch with her fiance-forever, Brian McFadden.

The I Believe singer returned to Oz last week to spend Easter with family and has been organising a super-secretive 30th birthday party for her Irish crooner.

Due to take place this Saturday, guests will include McFadden's good mate and fellow Australia's Got Talent judge Kyle Sandilands and wife Tamara Jaber.




McFadden's parents in dark over 'wedding'

Friday July 02 2010

SINGER Brian McFadden has not contacted his family about whether reports that he married Delta Goodrem recently are true.

The McFadden family insist they have heard nothing from him to suggest his alleged secret wedding took place last month.

The former Westlife star's parents Brendan and Mairead told the Herald that Brian (30) has not contacted them to say that he and Delta are now married.

"I don't know anything about it," said Brian's father Brendan. "They are big enough now to do whatever they want."

Brendan said he would be happy to confirm the news if he was sure it was true but insisted Brian has not been in touch to tell him.

"The only one who has told me they're married is you," he said.

The Real to Me singer, who has made Delta's native Sydney his permanent home, has been referring to his gorgeous blonde girlfriend as his "wife" for the last two weeks.

They have also been snapped wearing rings on their wedding fingers.





DELTA Goodrem has just thrown a glass of red wine in a fit of rage. The target the forehead of her fiance, Brian McFadden. Her aim is spot on.
A bleeding McFadden is eyeing off a chainsaw with a destructive glint in his eyes.

He's swearing at her, she's yelling at him. Then the director says "cut".



The loved-up pair are playing combative lovers in the video for their duet Mistakes.



Loosely based on Brangelina's Mr and Mrs Smith, the clip starts with a romantic dinner that triggers an explosive domestic dispute.



The pair may have the occasional argument, but this fictitious one is turbo-nuclear.



On set in Sydney last week, director Dan Reisinger is yelling obscenities at Goodrem to get her in the (war) zone for the fiery feud.

"It's not every day Australia's sweetheart gets called a f----g b----,"Reisinger laughs.



"I had to get her motivated."



"The first word I said after 'cut' was sorry . . . before re-loading and letting her have it again."



While Goodrem taps into her Logie-winning Neighbours days for angst-on-cue ("Brian's like 'I don't want to offend you' I'm going, 'Come on!"'), McFadden struggles to abuse his partner of six years.


"The happy bits are easy," McFadden says, "trying to get each other riled up is hard."


Reisinger, director of McFadden's last two videos, closed the set after a string of failed takes.


"They are such private people when it comes to their relationship, which is why it is so successful," Reisinger says.


"Brian was reluctant to hurt Delta's feelings, particularly in front of strangers on set. She kept trying to reassure him it was just acting, but he couldn' t bring himself to insult her where it hurts, a thing anyone's partner knows better than anyone else."


The words hurt, but McFadden is at ease with the string of button-pushing stunts.


Goodrem makes a digital smoothie when she throws his watch in a blender and smashes one of his platinum discs.


She uses the disc to slice his guitar (James Bond fan Reisinger's nod to villian Oddjob) while he retaliates by using the chainsaw to turn Goodrem's piano into firewood.


"Delta was genuinely traumatised by us doing that," Reisinger says. "It was like us chainsawing the family pet."


Goodrem, worried about instrument karma, admits it was like "a horror movie".


"I feel physically sick," she says. "When we finished the treatment the biggest issue I had with the whole video is the chainsawing of the piano."


McFadden researched the lineage of the doomed instrument.


"There'll be a lot of people pissed off we ruined a piano, but apparently the piano was in the graveyard and about to be destroyed anyway," he says. "No real pianos were harmed in the making of this video."

The duet, like their previous collaboration Almost Here, is anything but a love song.


"We don't feel the need to express that in public," Goodrem says.


"Privately we're very romantic and very much in love."


McFadden, meanwhile, is seeing how long it takes to microwave Goodrem's teddy bear until it blows up a brand new Freedom kitchen.

"Everyone has their arguments,"he says. "This is the biggest one we'll ever have! HEAR Mistakes (Universal) out September 17.





Broken glass, a chainsaw and a teddy bear in the microwave...it's a quiet evening in for Delta Goodrem and Brian McFadden

September 2010
It's the sort of on-screen outburst you'd expect from an Eminem video, not two popstars known for their wholesome images and happy relationship.

But in Brian McFadden and Delta Goodrem's new video for their duet Mistakes, they're subverting their goody-goody image and shown having a row of epic proportions.

The real life couple begin by having a romantic meal, which then degenerates into a blazing and violent argument.

Brian McFadden splits from Delta Goodrem


EX-Westlife star Brian McFadden and fiancee Delta Goodrem have separated after a series of rows.

The couple, who have been engaged since 2007, announced the end of their seven-year relationship yesterday.



It's thought the pair were finding it hard to maintain their long-distance relationship after selling their home in Sydney. Delta, 26, bought a house in LA earlier this year while writing and recording her fourth album. Brian, 30, has stayed in Sydney with pals filming the next series of Australia's Got Talent, in which he's a judge. A friend said: The conversations were getting more and more fraught. It's really sad.

The pair yesterday issued a statement saying they Care no longer engaged and have mutually decided to end their relationship. Brian later tweeted: I love Delta and always will. She is one of God's living angels. I thank her for giving me the best years of my life.

Brian had recently insisted they were still planning the wedding. He said: Of course we'll get married, we just haven't set a day yet. We're trying to organise our schedules so we can be in the same place at the same time. But we won't just rock up to a registry office. Delta,s a princess, and she deserves a proper wedding.
