Justin Hawkins, vocalist for British band The Darkness, has decided to leave the band in order to clean himself up. “It will be an upheaval,” he told The Sun. “But it’s time for me to move on. It would be damaging to my recovery to stay on. I’m not blaming the band for my problem — I am an addict.”
While the other members are still in shock and unsure what the future may hold, Hawkins plans to write film music and release a solo album.http://billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003251391&imw=Y
