@Sijh Sijh Cool well that should be your only concern. 😊 I think you and other people forget musos are a certain type of person, if I was a betting man, I'd bet on Daniel have maybe had some homosexual experiences in the past. My two cents

Daniel is one of my biggest icons. You can see how much all the media hounding him and constant hate and criticism he received has effected him. He really has been pushed to a point where he literally wants to defame himself and have no life in the public eye. I hate how this all effected Daniel so bad.. I'll love Daniel forever no matter what I just hope he finds peace and happiness.

Thank you! I'm really sick of "Fans" bashing him and calling him gay because he's changed so much and his music is so different. Daniel is an amazing artist and he needs to evolve and change. He's way too talented not to! He's doing what makes him happy, and people are horrible to him because he simply grew up! I loved Silverchair too, and always will. But the Frogstomp and Freakshow era are long gone. People need to grow up! I see his anxiety and it's sad. He's always had it. It broke my heart when he said if he could do what he does for the rest of his life without being recognized and hounded, he would. All this negative crap against him, and the hate are going to drive him to suicide! He sees the negative and hateful things said about him and his new music, and I'm sure it bothers him. I love him to pieces and have since I was 15. He deserves to have some peace in his life, and in his heart!

Daniel has such a kind, gentle and sensitive soul. I can tell he’s suffered from a lot of spiritual, physical and emotional pain. I hope he continues to heal and become the best version of himself. He’s like someone I wanna take care of. I feel for him. He was bullied and harassed by fans and the media a lot. He’s been through hell and thankfully managed to get out of it alive. I’m glad he seems to be doing better after suffering with so many health issues.

Daniel was exposed to a violent amount of stress during his teenage years... The fact that he doesn´t kill himself is already impressive... You can see that he is brutally disturbed by ansiety and insecurity.. He had a lot of health problems caused by stress in the past. Music industry, toxic media and people´s toxic opinions can easily destroy an adult.. Imagine what it can do to a teenager..

@@justdev8965 But touring the world while being a 15 year old boy and hearing constant "Nirvana in Pajamas" and "The Chubby Kurt Cobain" write offs would be killer on a kid's impressionable mind. I don't think there's a kid in the world who would have thick enough skin to deal with the level of hatred and anger that he did and come away from it completely intact. Especially being an Aussie. We're a laid back bunch and the U.S. is a whole nother level - they're frikken crazy, the paparazzi are demonic little fuckers. I lived in Seattle when I was a young teenager (moved from Western Australia) and I was just a normal school kid,but Americans are cruel and Aussies aren't usually exposed to their special brand of mental. Dunno how any teenager, especially one's that are playing to sold out venues,could deal with it

I came to the realization that this is how he was meant to look a few months ago. During the height of Silverchair was when he had his eating disorder, so of course he looks extremely different. I felt kind of thrown for a loop how much the contrast was from watching a 2003 concert, then seeing him with extremely short hair and muscles come 2005's Big Surf concert, but since then, he hasn't aged or looked any different. I think we are just used to the extremely thin androgynous boy from Silverchair.
