Silverchair
Silverchair, an Australian band, has decided to split after almost 20 years together.
The band consists of Daniel Johns, Chris Joannou and Ben Gillies, and they have decided to part ways after losing their “spark” as a band.
They posted on their face book page "We formed Silverchair nearly 20 years ago when we were just 12 years old. Today we stand by the same rules now as we did back then... if the band stops being fun and if it's no longer fulfilling creatively, then we need to stop. "Therefore after much soul searching we wanted to let you know that we're putting Silverchair into 'indefinite hibernation' and we've decided to each do our own thing for the foreseeable future... We understand some of you may be disappointed by this news but we really see it as a liberating and positive step for us at this point in our lives."
The rockers reveal the decision came about after they attempted to record a new album, but struggled to make music together.
The statement adds, "Despite our best efforts over the last year or so, it's become increasingly clear that the spark simply isn't there between the three of us at the moment... The three of us still truly care about each other. We want to thank you for all your support in good times and bad. You've put up with our long breaks between albums, our constantly changing musical styles and lots more. The unbelievable loyalty we've been shown by you our audience, and our friends, has never gone unnoticed or unappreciated."
