Daniel JohnsDaniel Johns (born April 22, 1979) is the vocalist, composer and guitarist in a band called Silverchair. Growing up in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, he formed Silverchair at the age of 14. Johns has found it somewhat difficult to cope with the fame brought on, at one stage suffering from anorexia nervosa and depression. The band's career began when they were just 14 years old, and signed to Sony Records in 1994, after their demo Tomorrow won the local heat of Triple J's "Unearthed" talent search. Their first album release was Frogstomp, in 1995. By 2002, Johns appeared to have recovered from his internal trauma and was ready for the release of what he regarded as his band's masterpiece, Diorama. However, just as the album was due for release Johns was struck down with severe arthritis and spent most of 2002 unable to perform. It was feared that he may not be able to perform for years, and perhaps would never play again. Still unable to play for extended periods, he performed again in October 2002 at the ARIA awards ceremony. His recovery has proceeded and Silverchair (as of February 2003) performing an extended Australian concert tour. Johns announced his engagement to long-time girlfriend, the actor, singer and model Natalie Imbruglia in late 2002, and they married on New Year's Eve 2003. Johns has also done the side project The Dissociatives (a.k.a. I Can't Believe It's Not Rock!) with dance musician Paul Mac. External links Johns, Daniel Johns, Daniel Johns, Daniel Johns, Daniel
