THE DARKNESS Singer Tells Fan To 'Fuck Off', Apologizes For His Mistake

May 26, 2004

NewKerala.com is reporting that THE DARKNESS singer Justin Hawkins verbally abused a fan after he mistook her for a music critic.

According to the Sun, 17-year old Sarah Hartnett flew all the way to Los Angeles after she won a contest to watch her heroes at a small gig.

But she was left stunned when Justin stopped the gig and blasted: "Seriously, fuck off, I don't want you in here."

Hawkins kicked off when another fan pointed to Sarah and shouted: "She's from the NME."

But he soon realized his mistake after the woman said, "She's not from the NME, she won it through the NME." He then apologized and offered to sign her T-shirt.

"Oh crap, I'm sorry, I just didn't know, we've had some trouble with the NME and stuff," Justin said.

"Justin was very sorry for his outburst. When he realized she was a fan he searched for her and apologized and offered her some free merchandise. It wasn't as bad as first thought," THE DARKNESS spokesman was quoted as saying.
