Human Nature Get Brutally Honest About Fame, Family & Fatherhood

 

Australian music icons Human Nature have spent more than three decades entertaining audiences around the world, selling millions of albums and performing alongside legends like Michael Jackson and Celine Dion. But behind the fame, the four bandmates have another important role in common: being dads.

In this special episode of The Parenting Police, Sean Szeps sits down with all four members of Human Nature for a hilarious, heartfelt and surprisingly revealing conversation about fame, family and fatherhood.

The group opens up about the personal experiences that have shaped their lives: Toby Allen opens up about navigating the pressures of being a gay man in a successful boy band and the emotional journey of surrogacy and becoming a father; Phil Burton details moving his family back to Australia from Las Vegas; Andrew Tierney reveals the importance faith has on his family and Michael Tierney talks about spending nearly four decades working alongside his brother.

All four share candid stories about marriage, traumatic childbirth, raising teenagers, sibling rivalries and the challenges of balancing family life with an extraordinary music career. The boys also reflect on their 37 years together, the lessons they've learned along the way and the stories behind their new book, Only Human: Harmony Through the Hits and Hard Times.
