Justin Hawkins Interview. View the full interview at www.rockondigital.com

Justin Hawkins talks to rock musician Rick Wakeman about his personal journey from his modest musical beginnings, early family life and how his passion for rock music evolved, right through to his drive, determination and ultimate explosion into stardom with The Darkness, as he emerged as one of the first rock superstars of the 21st Century. (52 Mins Approx)

With the release of their debut album 'Permission To Land', The Darkness burst onto the music charts and became a worldwide attraction.

Justin sheds light on the somewhat hedonistic chapters in his life, yet reveals a forward thinking personality, strength of mind and ability to overcome his struggles, continue his prolific songwriting and introduce his brand new band, Hot Leg onto the rock scene. The man behind the music is well accounted for in this entertaining exchange between Wakeman and Hawkins. Did Justin Hawkins really finance the making of that smash hit debut album for The Darkness? How does he embrace the internet as an output for creativity? And did he really write the music for all those famous advertising campaigns?

Rick Wakeman also invites Hot Leg guitarist, Pete Rinaldi, into the hot seat, who illustrates the unique position of working creatively with the charismatic Hawkins and brings us up to speed on how the dynamics of Hot Leg, work with an insight into the 'Red Light Fever' album, stage shows and development of their repertoire.
