| | Introducing Silverchair ... Again - An Interview with Daniel Johns |
 | | Vocalist and guitarist Daniel Johns suffered from a debilitating case of reactive arthritis which made it impossible for him to tour in support of the band's last release, "Diorama," and that, no doubt, had something to do with why its contents barely made airwaves in Canada. |
 | | Johns, along with drummer Ben Gillies and bassist Chris Joannou, were plagued with rumours of a breakup, which they denied, saying they would play together again when the time was right. |
 | | The new approach can also be seen as a healthier outlook for Johns, whose personal battle adjusting to pressure and his band's quick rise to fame became public in 1999 with the release of the single "Ana's Song," a track he penned about his battle with anorexia. |
