It seems like Daniel Johns is teasing something big that’s coming next week but it probably won’t be a Silverchair reunion.
“I’ll tell you about the future,” he wrote on his official Facebook page earlier today, alongside the date 8/12/2021. It was accompanied by a picture of Johns pensively staring into the camera.
What awaits next Wednesday, December 8th? Considering that Johns recently said he would never play live with Silverchair again, it would certainly be a surprise if it was a reunion of the Aussie icons.
“I was like, ‘This is really starting to effect my mental health’. Because I am saying ‘that’s it’, and every time I try to tell the truth, someone told a lie,” he told The Project.
“So I was like, ‘I wouldn’t get Silverchair back together with a gun to my head for $1 million’. Maybe that was too harsh in hindsight.”
Johns has been very busy with his new podcast, Who Is Daniel Johns?. After launching in October, it swiftly knocked The Joe Rogan Experience and The Inspired Unemployed off their perch to become Spotify’s most popular podcast in Australia.

Cheers boys,” wrote Billy Fleming & Zach Stephenson of Hockey Dad in their tribute to the band.
