Justin Hawkins has admitted himself to rehab in a bid to regain his health. The lead singer of `The Darkness’ was driven to popular London celebrity retreat The Priory by a friend, after health problems recently forced him to pull out of a scheduled festival performance in Denmark. Sources say that Justin’s troubles stem from the band’s recent change of fortune – the follow-up to their number one first album failed to appear in the Top 10. A pal explains, “Justin’s been feeling really low of late and he wanted to go somewhere he could clear his head. He’s been looking terrible at the moment. His skin’s taken on a weird yellowy pallor. The Priory really is the best place for him.” [17 August 2006]
