The Darkness To Reunite For Tour?
Justin Hawkin’s catsuited clan are reportedly considering a deal to hit the road for a huge tour next year…
The multi-BRIT Award winning glam-rockers split in 2005 due to lead singer Hawkins’ drug problems and bitter band feuds.
But The Sun are reporting US festival Dubai Desert Rocks have offered the band big bucks to tour the States in 2009, as well make a new album.
The original Darkness line-up - Hawkins, guitarist Dan Hawkins, bassist Frankie Poullain and drummer Ed Graham – will have to settle their differences before signing on to reform for the tour.
A ‘source’ told the tabloid: "It’s an absolute mess because so much contributed to the band breaking up… Dan blames Justin for the second album’s failure because of Justin’s drink and drug problems. Plus Dan and Ed are in a legal dispute with the band’s manager over money.
"They both reckon they’re still owed millions and are determined to get their money. The guys are all saying they would jump at the chance to reunite. If the comeback does happen, it’s sure to be a success because the band went from nothing to superstars overnight — and they still have millions of fans around the world."
Do they still have millions of fans around the world? Are you one of 'em? Would you like to see The Darkness reunite? Or rather throw your guts uo on your best dress/jeans for ten-hours straight?
