The Darkness' Justin goes into rehab

 |  By
Justin Hawkins has made the decision to go into London rehabilitation clinic The Priory.

The Darkness frontman was driven to the popular celebrity retreat at the weekend by a friend, after health problems recently forced him to pull out of a scheduled festival performance in Denmark.

Apparently the singer's troubles are related to the recent downturn in his band's fortunes. Whilst they received acclaim with their first album, the follow-up One Way Ticket To Hell...And Back failed to appear in the Top 10.

A source told the Mirror: "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."
