The Darkness Singer Quits
The Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins quit the British rockers yesterday, after successfully undergoing rehab for alcohol and drug problems. The "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" star has been clean of cocaine and alcohol for nine weeks, and feels he just can't live the rock 'n' roll lifestyle any more.
Hawkins' former bandmates - including his guitarist brother Dan - plan to continue without him, despite poor sales of second album One Way Ticket To Hell And Back. He says, "I feel bad for the others, but I can't do it any more."
