Storyline

In 2003, British glam rockers The Darkness took the world by storm with their smash hit single "I Believe in a Thing Called Love". Then at the height of their fame, the band split up and fell into obscurity. 20 years on from their platinum-selling debut, Justin Hawkins, his brother Dan, eccentric bassist Frankie Poullain, and new drummer Rufus Taylor tell their story.
