The musician shared a statement on his Instagram on Thursday morning, explaining he had been in a car accident the day before, having become ‘lost’ while on the road and had been suffering from ‘panic attacks’.
“As you know, my mental health is a work in progress. I have good days and bad days, but it’s something I always have to manage,” Johns wrote.
“Over the last week, I began to experience panic attacks. Last night I got lost while driving and I was in an accident. I am OK, everyone is OK.
“Alongside my therapy, I’ve been self-medicating with alcohol to deal with my anxiety and depression. I know this is no sustainable or healthy.''
“I have to step back now as I’m self-admitting to a rehabilitation centre, and I don’t know how long I’ll be there. Appreciate your love and support as always.”
Industry friends, including his ex-wife Natalie Imbruglia, shared their support, saying, “Love you so much. You’ve got this.’
