Justin Hawkins leaves the darkness

[R-dude]

Don't know if there are any darkness fans on the boards but their frontman (Justin Hawkins) left the band due to drug addictions.
Richie Edwards (bass player) will be taking over the vocal duties.
I quite liked them.....shame to hear that justin isn't doing that well (1000 quid a week cocaine addiction...)

[Super_Skater]

I never liked that band I couldn't listen to them because oof the signers gay ass high voice. That was the only thing I didnt like about em though.

I loved the Darkness ... that sucks though, the way he's left. I don't think that bald guy will be as good as Justin, though.

[Blind Sheppard]

They will collapse, Justin was what made them and now they're no longer going to have two guitars or a funny frontman.

[crazy_dave]

Personally i really liked his vocals. Guess its the end of the Darkness then.

[WakeBake&Skate]

they we're i'ight. dunno if they'll be good at all now tho.

If he has drug addiction then why doesn't he get arrested? Same as Doherty, I don't understand why they get away with it just because they are famous.

[Grinding God]

Because you can't get arrested for saying you're addicted. Doherty was found numerous times with cocaine and whatever but Justin has only said. They haven't found any evidence.

You can't be arrested for having an addiction.

You don't get arrested, you will only get arrested if you found with a large amount or the intent to deal.
My mate was caught in his car which he cannot legally drive, drunk, one working break light with a half ounce of coke in his boot and some skunk in his front drawer. He got a £200 and his licence took away for an extra 16 months.
