Aussie rockers Silverchair have announced they're going on an "indefinite hibernation".The band, who shot to fame in 1995 aged just 16, announced their spilt on Facebook this morning (Wednesday, May 25)."We formed Silverchair nearly 20 years ago when we were just 12 years old. Today we stand by the same rules now as we did back then - if the band stops being fun and if it's no longer fulfilling creatively, then we need to stop," wrote the band in an official statement. "Therefore after much soul searching we wanted to let you know that we're putting Silverchair into 'indefinite hibernation' and we've decided to each do our own thing for the foreseeable future."Above all though we want to thank you for all your support in good times and bad. You've put up with our long breaks between albums, our constantly changing musical styles and lots more. The unbelievable loyalty we've been shown by you our audience, and our friends, has never gone unnoticed or unappreciated. That's why we wanted to tell you first."With Sincere Thanks For Your Understanding. Sweet Dreams. Daniel, Ben and Chris."
