T
he downward spiral of one
of Australia’s most celebrated
musicians looks to be
continuing. Former Silverchair
frontman Daniel Johns was spotted
outside a notorious Sydney S&M
brothel last week looking worse
for wear, sources tell us.
The 40-year-old was reportedly
stumbling around the street looking
puffy and blowing his nose with his
hands after a lengthy session at
the bondage club in Chippendale.
A guest says Daniel has been
spending long hours at the club
over the past two weeks and he
was beginning to make otherpatrons uncomfortable with his
“unacceptable” behaviour. It’s the
latest in a string of incidents that
have seen family and friends express
their concerns for the singer.
In 2014 Daniel was arrested after
police caught him drink driving in
Newcastle, and two years later he was
spotted wandering around without
a shirt in Sydney’s Double Bay with
makeup smeared over his face.
Daniel’s worrying behaviour
comes after his relationship with
model Michelle Leslie reportedly
crumbled and ex-wife Natalie
Imbruglia announced in July she was
pregnant with her first child via IVF.FE ARS FOR DANIEL JOHNS
