Singer Natalie Imbruglia and husband Daniel Johns split after four years of marriage

Singer Natalie Imbruglia and husband, Silverchair frontman, Daniel Johns, have called it quits after four years of marriage, it was announced today.

Natalie said she and her rock singer husband had grown apart due to the pressures of their work. The couple originally met at an awards show party in 1999 and married four years later on New Year’s Eve in a beachside ceremony in Queensland.

In a joint statement, the pair said: “While we are very sad that our marriage has ended, we want to make it clear that our parting is amicable and we remain friends.

“This mutual decision has not been taken lightly or quickly.

“However, our career demands and our lives in different parts of the world have brought us to the point where unfortunately this difficult decision was necessary for both of us.

“We have simply grown apart through not being able to spend enough time together.”

They went on: “We have issued this statement to set the record straight and to eliminate any need for speculation.

“We will not be making any further public statements whatsoever in regard to this very private matter and politely ask that people respect our sincere wishes in this regard.”

Imbruglia returned to London on Wednesday, while Johns remains in Sydney.
