The Darkness singer says his cocaine addiction made him a bloated arsehole
Tuesday, 30 September 2008
Justin Hawkins has revealed that his addiction to cocaine while in The Darkness made his a self-obsessed idiot.
The high-pitched singer says drink and drugs were practically unavoidable in the music scene.
‘I couldn’t have a drink without going: “Let’s get some cocaine,”’ he says. ‘And I couldn’t wake up in the morning without going: “Right, let’s have a drink.”
'I was fat and immobile, fat and self-conscious, fat and useless. I was a turd on stage, just a useless turd,' he tells Weekend.
'I did a lot of coke and we all know what happens to people who do a lot of coke. They become arseholes.'
Justin, 33, who is now the frontman of Hot Leg, has been clean for over a year after a stint in the Priory.
Hot Leg’s debut single Trojan Guitar is out on 20 October.
