Hayes had a tough year, and decided that signing up to the show would be the perfect “distraction” from grieving the end of his marriage and the financial pressures that came with that. “When the Masked Singer came up – and I’d said no so many times and to the UK version too – it was such a lovely distraction and something really humbling about doing it,” he toldHayes released his comeback album, Homosexual, earlier this year after facing a tough divorce from his partner of 17 years, Richard Cullen.Earlier this year, the 51-year-oldsinger-songwriter announced his split from Cullen in a since-deleted Instagram post.
Conrad Sewell and Dami Im were in this year’s Masked Singer finale with Hayes. Picture from Steve Pohlner.“I think if you look at my album and what I was singing about, I was making the decision to sort of move on by coming back to music,” he said.
“You sign an NDA and it’s not an insignificant amount of money that you get paid. So I didn’t want to lose the money,” he said, before adding: “And I love my mum and she’s trustworthy, but she’s also proud and what if she told someone?”
