Topic: Who the fuck is Corey Delaney? Forum: JoBlo

Quote: Aussie party boy Corey Delaney plans world tour, first stop UK Corey Delaney (Peter Glenane/ICON/Newspix) The Corey Delaney party tour begins with three cities in Australia...then heads for the UK Paul Larter, of The Times, Brisbane The Australian boy who raised hell, along with the neck hairs of parents the world over, with a party for 500 friends, 30 uninvited police and the dog squad, has turned professional. Now he’s on his way to a British venue near you. Life has become one long party for Corey Delaney, who has signed a deal with one of Australia’s leading publicity agents to put his infamous promotion skills to more lucrative effect as an international party promoter and DJ. The 16-year-old, whose signature style is oversized yellow plastic sunglasses under a faux-fur hooded jacket, will next month embark on “Corey’s Party Tour” of Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne as a warm-up to a planned tour of Britain in the summer. London, Bournemouth, Brighton, Torquay, Blackpool, Southend and Weston-super-Mare are likely destinations for Corey’s roadshow as Max Markson, his manager, sets about putting the unlikely star turn on to the world stage. He is already in talks with several British venues.

Now we’re going to throw a great party in the right place.” Corey, who finished school at the end of last year, has given up a A$20,000 (£9,000) apprenticeship in carpentry and is retraining as a DJ with one of the best in Australia. Mr Markson says his earnings in the coming year are likely to reach A$100,000. No deals are in the can yet but Mr Markson, who will take a 20 per cent cut of Corey’s earnings, has fielded various commercial offers from party organisers in the US and from clothing labels and international soft-drink makers keen to tap into Corey’s image as a poster boy of teenage rebellion. “A week ago, I was on the building site working hard and now they put me on national tour,” he said. “I've got an agent - life's good,” Corey told Australian television. He also said that life had become "a bit crazy". Corey, who is known by his mother's second married name although his own is Worthington, has received death threats and is unable to return home to live with his parents – even if they will have him back. His mother is considering the use of a family counsellor. His parents, who were furious at the time, have been persuaded to support his latest move and have met the promoter. “There's lots of reasons why he's not here at the minute,” Mrs Delaney told Sydney’s Daily Telegraph newspaper. “That [the threats] is one of them but there's many of them,” she said. Outside the family, Corey has been lionised by his peers and condemned as an arrogant brat by others. One website invites users to slap an animated Corey: he has now been slapped 700,000 times. Though Mr Markson thinks Corey – “the most famous and popular 16-year-old in Australia” - will have the last laugh. His tour will enable him to foot the estimated A$20,000 bill for the damage to his parents’ house, neighbours’ letterboxes and a police car and have more than enough left over for a car. He concedes that the party scene may not be a long-term proposition but that Corey is characteristically nonchalant about the future. “I said to him, ‘if this doesn’t work out what are you going to do?’ Mr Markson said. “And he said, ‘I left school at the end of last year, I started doing my apprenticeship to do carpentry and once this finishes I’ll go and get a job’. I think any family would love to have a 16-year-old like that.”
