'He had been partying for days': The story behind Silverchair rocker Daniel Johns' epic session that saw him stumbling on the streets
He's the former rock star who appears to have fallen on hard times in recent years.
And now the story behind Daniel Johns' epic party session that left him a little worse for wear on Sydney's streets have been revealed.
Friends of the 37-year-old former Silverchair frontman have told how before he was pictured staggering through the exclusive suburb of Double Bay last December, he'd been partying for days, the Daily Telegraph reports.

Cutting loose: The story behind THAT Daniel Johns' party has been revealed by a friend. The Silverchair rocker was pictured staggering through an exclusive Sydney suburb last December
Johns was shirtless with makeup smeared all across his face when the infamous pics were taken of him walking alongside fellow rocker Joshua Mullane.
And now another of the Straight Line hitmaker's mates, who too was part of the wild celebrations that week, has given his account of proceedings.
'He had already been going for a little while when he arrived. He showed up really loose. I wasn’t expecting to see him,' Anthony Lister claimed.
Big week? 'He had already been going for a little while when he arrived,' Anthony Lister, who partied with Johns that week, said
'I thought I should have ran with the ‘I am haggard and I’ve been up for four days look’ too.'
Lister, a professional street artist, was the host for one of the parties Johns attended.
However he admitted to not being able to keep up with the ARIA winner or Mullane, as the pair left his place and kicked on in Darlinghurst before the photos were taken.
'I was impressed with his whole rock ’n’ roll feel. He is living the part of an old-school rocker,' Lister claimed.

The revelations come little more than a month on from Johns' latest loose outing.
In late January, the musician promised to delete his social media accounts because of 'cruel people' and also shared selfies of himself pulling funny faces.
'A lot of you have been mean lately. To that I can only say I love you,' he captioned his first image.
'I'm gonna delete this account soon but thanks so much to the nice people!' he said alongside his second.
Disheveled: In January, less than a month on from his Double Bay outing, the ARIA winner took to social media to share a number of loose photos including this one of him 'flipping the bird'
'Really, really thanks ! And to the cruel people... it's been an absolute pressure (sic).'
Appearing to really be struggling with his time away from the limelight, a week prior Johns was pictured flipping the bird to the camera with both hands.
In a black and white image, he looked disheveled as he hunched over on a bench in a lopsided velvet top hat.

The indie artist displayed his arm and neck tattoos in a black singlet partnered with oversized drop-crotch trousers.
Johns led his rock band Silverchair for two decades between 1992 and 2011.
He has won 21 ARIA awards during his time in the band and as a single artist.
