Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns shares troubling message to social media on his 46th birthday


Daniel Johns has announced that he is taking a hiatus from social media, as he celebrates his 46th birthday.

Johns' lawyer Bryan Wrench said his client was at pains to show the court how serious he had taken the charge since entering rehab and his subsequent discharge by remaining abstinent from alcohol. The singer and guitarist revealed in a Facebook post that he'd been diagnosed with reactive arthritis, an inflammation of the joints that left him in crippling pain, when the band was launching their fourth album Diorama. Writing about Silverchair's demise in their joint memoir, the pair claimed Daniel put them on an 'emotional rollercoaster' by breaking up the band multiple times - only to then change his mind.
