Aerial Love (D Johns) – Daniel Johns 2015.
Following the Johns/Imbruglia divorce in 2008 she duly linked up with A-listers Prince Harry, actor David Schwimmer, and Harry Styles (above), by 2014 she and Daniel were no longer communicating, and waifish model Louise Van de Vorst (below) had moved into Daniel’s Merewether home, with his loyal dog Sweep. Other Silver-alumni were also spring-cleaning their personal lives, Ben Gillies had broken up with his fiancée Hayley Alexander (below) and entered detox in 2009, while Chris Joannou had split with his live-in partner Sarah McLeod in 2006. Gillies would marry Jakica (“Jackie”) Ivancevic (below) in mid-2010, but his mother refused to attend the ceremony, claiming that Ben was a drug addict and incapable of making rational decisions or supporting a family. Ultimately Ben would become better known as the husband of Jackie Gillies, psychic and star of the tacky reality TV show The Real Housewives of Melbourne.Band members regrouped in 2009 to plan their follow-up album, Johns had just emerged from a period of writer’s block, and was keen to continue experimentation with instruments, synths, and electronica, but on his demos there was a notable absence of guitars, drums and bass, so much for the future of Gillies and Joannou, the drummer and bassist respectively in Silverchair. As the band were self-funding the production of their albums, they needed to do live performances, these were usually hits and memories shows at gigs like the Big Day Out, to raise funds, but enthusiasm for a sixth album was fading fast. By now Johns and Gillies had fallen out badly, the two mates from Newie no longer shared the same vision for their band, which went into hiatus in 2011, and stayed there, until a formal announcement was released on May 25 that the band had broken up. Gillies and Joannou had accepted the inevitability of the decision, the “golden rule” applied, he who earns the gold, makes the rules, Johns was now free to pur TRUE FAME Jackie Gillies always dreamed about success, writes JADE LAZAREVIC, and her new book tells how she got there. JACKIE Gillies is a force. And an unstoppable one at that. A year after appearing as a contestant on I'm A Celebrity (Get Me Out of Here) and taking her Shine It Up Tour across Australia, the Warners Bay-raised psychic and star of The Real Housewives of Melbourne has released her first book, Shine It Up: The Inspirational True Story of Jackie Gillies . It is her life story, but not in a conventional sense. After all, as she details in the book, her life is anything but conventional. "For me, a lot of people don't know my story and who I am, and what I've been through before Real Housewives started," Jackie, 38, says. "When I was writing the book, I was meditating and I said 'Whatever needs to be put in this book at this moment in time, let's talk about it' and I just started coming out with it." From growing up as the daughter of European immigrants, to the abusive four-year relationship that set her on the path to realising what she calls her "life's purpose" , and her marriage to Silverchair drummer Ben Gillies, Shine It Up focuses on the significant moments that affected her path in life. "When you actually go back into your own life, it's actually quite cathartic," Jackie says. "So when I started the book, I began going down the path of me talking about when I was in a relationship and I lost myself. "It was quite an emotionally abusive relationship, and I lost my self-worth , but I was able to shine through that. "That relationship was the turning point for me to come back to what my sole purpose was. I listened to my intuition." BORN Jakica Ivancevic in Croatia to parents Ivan and Svetlana, Jackie is passionate, confident and full of exuberance. It's just the way she operates.
