In a Facebook post that's now been removed, Janus said: "I will continue to create music. On my terms. F*** the meaningless noise and trolls. My way, forever. Suck it. Done."

But Meahl has followed her comments up with a statement of his own. He says: "Jill posted that she was having difficulty dealing with devastating health issues. Four months ago she had major surgery to remove cancer from her uterus. She needs time to fully recover from her hysterectomy and to continue treatment for her mental health issues.

"Her bouts with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder have been particularly difficult lately and are ultimately responsible for her unfounded statement last night."
