'Take care of yourself. Hope to be on mend soon,' one person wrote. 'You will be back better than ever very soon,' a second user added. The Melbourne-born singer soared to huge fame in the '70s and scored countless hits with his iconic band Sherbet. But after the band split in 1984, Daryl decided to turn his back on music - and recently revealed why he briefly decided to shun the limelight.
After first attempting to go solo in his music career, the singer went on the dole and found an everyday gig as a council road worker. He revealed he found it disheartening trying to secure gigs in clubs without his former bandmates Tony Mitchell, Garth Porter, Alan Sandow and Clive Shakespeare.
