Take 40 spoke to Eskimo Joe's Joel Quarterman on the phone from Scotland where they're touring at the moment and he told us about the atmosphere backstage at Sound Relief after John Farnham had played 'You're The Voice' with Coldplay.
"It kind of brought a tear to the eye to see old Farnsy out there belting it out again," says Joel.
"We saw him backstage afterwards and he was almost shaking - he was that high on life after playing to that many people."
And it sounds like the experience might prompt Farnsy to embark on yet another comeback tour! He's already done two "final" tours.
"We were saying to him 'are you thinking about making a comeback, maybe the wife wouldn't be happy with you heading out on the road?' and he was like 'no actually, she's pushing me out the door.'"
On the back of his Sound Relief performance, John Farnham's 'You're The Voice' has just entered the singles charts for the first time in 22 years, albeit at Number 84. Cadbury have also replaced the Phil Collins song in their ads with 'You're The Voice'.
Apparently he's also about to head into the studio to record another album…
