The lead singer married Natalie Imbruglia (I think that's how you spell it).

Yes, I went and asked my aussie friend online, he told me the lead singer (Daniel Johns) got really sick a while back and that forced Silverchair to cancel a U.S. tour and eventually lead to their breakup. He is now fronting some new band. He also mentioned the marriage to Imbruglia.
Good job of research.

Toys R Us
I'll post them in this thread, depends if I can find them or not. I think most were lost in the HD Crash of '03 :'(EDIT: They're all lost :'( We were waiting for the midnight showing of LOTR3 so we just went to Toys 'R' Us since it was open until midnight (because of the Xmas season) and took random pictures, mostly just mocking different toys :lol

around the time daniel johns got manorexia hey also became extremely whiney and shyte. I can't imagine that the other 2 don't secretly or openly hate him by now.
Second-rate grunge band with some truly awful warbling string section workouts. Really glad they aren't putting out that crap anymore. This 'The Dissociatives' thing is not quite as bad, but still awfuly predictable, simplistic and somewhat cynical to my ears. Daniel Johns also has absolutely no taste whatsoever (Natalie being the exception).
Bleh.
Bleh.

A bit after the release of Diorama Daniel Johns suffered from some really bad form of arthritis, had to cancel a North American tour, and couldn't promote the album at all and that was basically the end of Silverchair :s
They were supposed to headline Edgefest that summer, and I bought my ticket partly because they would be there so I was mad when they had to cancel and the headliner ended up being Nickelback (which I liked), but the show had 1 less band and that was disappointing, and it was like 40 degrees celsius out and water was overpriced grrrr

What the fuck is everybody talking about? Silverchair hasn't split up.
After the Across the Night tour, Johns formed a band with Australian dj Paul Mac, The Dissociatives. They're going to tour Europe in June.
Daniel has said that he's written around 40 new songs and that Silverchair will indeed record a new album.
If you think they're a second rate grunge band, listen to 2002's Diorama, a sprawling epic that will change your mind.
