Fans queue for Guy Sebastian

HUNDREDS of fans lined up outside Geelong Arts Centre last night (Wednesday, August 13) to catch Guy Sebastian at his “Open Door Session.”

The free pop-up album release party attracted more than 350 people, with some of them lining up from 12 noon to see the pop-star.

As part of the event, Sebastian performed Maybe off his new album, 100 Times Around the Sun, released last week.

 

“I’ve worked on this album for over four years, and that’s way too long for an album,” he said.

“I would write, I’d be inspired and then get a bit of momentum and then I’d have to jump into filming for The Voice or do something else.

“I was always busy and that’s why I just decided to clear the diary and not do TV and just be in my studio and finish the album.

Audience members were also treated to some of his biggest hits including Battle Scars, Choir and Who’s that Girl.

While on stage, Sebastian shared a story with the audience about his love for Geelong and the region.

 

“I’m always reminded of Geelong because I took a photo many, many years ago,” he said.

“There’s a big panoramic photo I did of the Geelong Pier and it was at sunset and it was just beautiful and it’s up on my wall.

“I’m always seeing Geelong everyday and mostly, I love coming here.”

The musician also spent some time once he was off stage meeting fans and signing albums.
