Daniel Johns launches extraordinary spray at GQ Australia

Daniel Johns has launched an extraordinary attack on men’s lifestyle magazine GQ Australia.

The 43-year-old former Silverchair frontman used his social media to slam the publication for ignoring him after the release of his latest solo album, FutureNever, which came out in April.

Johns, together with his bandmates from Silverchair, graced the cover of GQ Australia in 2007 as ‘Men of the Year’, at the height of the band’s best-selling fame.

Posting to his Instagram stories, the star noted that GQ had run stories on him and Silverchair in 2003, 2007 and 2015.

He included pictures from the articles in his post and captioned the message: ‘And yet GQ Australia treats me like I don’t exist.’

The troubled music legend also posted a picture of the ‘Men of the Year’ cover from 2007 and included a graphic of a three-star rating in the picture.

Elsewhere, John claimed a new sauna blanket product was receiving rave reviews from GQ – and that he was receiving unwanted  promotions for the item.

He posted a picture of the ad for the product in his Instagram story and added a scathing caption.

‘Literally reviewing f**king sauna blankets and targeting me with sponsored posts to really rub it in,’ he messaged.

He added the hashtags: ‘bulls**t,’ ‘scoundrel’, ‘gimme my 3 stars,’ and ‘I would  probably take 2.’ 

Johns received support from a fan for his spray and added it to his stories.

Featuring a digitally designed bust of Johns, the follower added a three-star rating graphic and captioned the image: ‘GQ Australia, give this man the love he deserves.’
