Shannon at Centro
Monday, 5 July 2004
AUSSIE singing star Shannon Noll captivated the hearts of thousands of adoring fans, who flocked to see him launch his latest single in Bendigo yesterday. Centro Lansell was packed out, as devoted fans armed with posters, CDs and T-shirts lined up for hours to score an autograph from their favourite singer. The queue extended behind the shopping centre building, with a team of 16 security guards on hand to control the excited crowd.
There were cameras galore, as fans rushed to catch a snapshot of the Australian Idol heart throb, who was promoting his latest hit "Learn to Fly." Bendigo teenager Kahlia Reid said meeting Noll had been the highlight of her week.
"He's just a great singer, and a real Aussie," she said. "I have all his CD albums and singles." Even mum, Tracey Tate, who took her two children Tiffany and James along, said the chance to meet Noll had been terrific. "It was worth the wait," she said.
"He's hot, and his music is really good." Speaking to The Advertiser in between autograph signings, Noll said he had enjoyed launching his latest CD in Bendigo.
"We had a great response with the show here, so to be able to come back again is fantastic," he said.
"Being a footy fan, I love Victoria, and also its beautiful countryside.' "You will definitely see me around here again." And Noll's words of wisdom for Bendigo's budding young singers: "Music is a great opportunity to have a lot of fun no matter what level you take it to," he said.
"For me, the best part is performing in front of people and hopefully having an impact on the lives of others."
