About Justin Hawkins

Justin David Hawkins (born 17 March 1975 in Chertsey, Surrey, England) is an English musician and singer-songwriter, best known for being the former lead singer and lead guitarist of The Darkness, alongside his brother, guitarist Dan Hawkins. Heavily influenced by classic hard rock and glam metal bands of the 1970s and 1980s such as Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Aerosmith and AC/DC, Hawkins is noted for his soaring falsetto and his charismatic persona, often displaying an exaggerated degree of flamboyance and camp humour on stage. His current band is called Hot Leg, formed in 2008, although since 2005 he is also active in his synthpop alter ego British Whale.
