Silverchair have responded to viral calls for them to reunite before the Newcastle Knights' NRL grand final this Sunday, and the answer is no.
"Thanks to everyone who's asked if we're playing before the game. We're way too rusty, so sorry, no can do," the band wrote on Facebook. "We won't be taking the stage, but we'll be supporting as loudly as everyone else and there in spirit."
The post opened with "Is this thing still on?" and said that for the first time in ages, all three members "actually agree wholeheartedly about something: GO KNIGHTS!!!" Silverchair formed in Newcastle and have been on hiatus since 2011.
