Justin Hawkins has reportedly quit his band The Darkness after coming out of rehab.

Justin checked himself into the Priory for “rest and recuperation” in August but was rumoured to be struggling with for the second time with a cocaine addiction.

Now after being drug- and alcohol-free for two months, he’s decided to quit the band to avoid another relapse.

He said regarding his departure: “I feel bad for the others, but I can’t do it any more.”

His former bandmates plan to continue without him, despite poor sales of their last album.
