Darkness singer receives death threats Feb 25 2004

LONDON, UK (The Sun) - Is this another 'marketing' promotion tool which uses the UK music industry? According to The Sun, Justin Hawkins said that he got the first letter after picking up three Brit awards last week. The Darkness front man (Justin Hawkins) has brought in police after receiving death threats.
He said that "it was a handwritten letter, it's very weird. It's quite flattering that somebody wants to kill me but at the same time it's very scary.
I'm more concerned about my own safety really, you can't go on being nice to everybody because sometimes people take the p*** and they start to take liberties."

Justin also said that detectives are checking the letter for fingerprints. The group has now received a second letter. As a precaution security has been increased around the band, which includes Hawkins�s brother Dan, Ed Graham and Frankie Pouillain.
