Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins has spoken about his feud with former bandmate Frankie Poullain.

Poullain left the band in May this year, explaining that 'musical differences' had forced him to leave. Hawkins recently claimed that was planning on leaving himself if the situation had not improved.

Hawkins told Kerrang!, "It was like having a tumour and you're doing your best to over-compensate, saying, 'Hey it's like having an extra arm!' But at the end of the day when you get rid of it, you're a lot happier."
