Silverchair sell out 'Across The Night'

Plagued by frontman Daniel Johns' arthritis, the Australian trio, who were due to tour their musical masterpiece, 'Diorama', were forced to cancel all tour dates indefinitely as Johns' condition proved too unstable for any commitments to be made.

However, the band recently announced that Johns' condition had improved sufficiently for the band to be able to play some dates in Australia, and when tickets went onsale on December 4, they "sold faster than any of the band’s previous Australian tours", reports their website.

Hopefully this means that if all goes well, some UK dates will be announced soon.
