Summary
"When Silverchair shuddered suddenly to a halt in 2011, there was no swansong, no farewell tour, just a brief statement and then they were gone. Three teenagers from Newcastle had taken the world by storm. Over their stratospheric career, Daniel Johns developed into a performer and songwriter with few peers in modern music. Shortly after the breakup of the band, Johns' marriage to pop star Natalie Imbruglia also ended. People feared what might happen next. But at the same time a new Daniel Johns emerged. This was a vastly different Daniel Johns to the grungy, guitar-blazing teen of the 1990s. The Book of Daniel documents how Johns also battled many personal demons, including life-threatening anorexia and crippling reactive arthritis, not to mention a wilful streak a mile wide. Drawing on more than 15 years spent documenting the life and times of Johns and Silverchair, author Jeff Apter has brought Johns' story to life, revealing in remarkable detail the many struggles and triumphs of one of Australia's most distinctive and dazzling talents"--Provided by publisher.
