Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'

Justin Hawkins is on board! 🤘

The Darkness frontman joins Alan for a very entertaining flight, talking about touring, life in Switzerland, his famously transformed teeth, holidaying with Lady Gaga on her private jet, vegan travel, his love of bleak seaside towns and why he’d happily spend his final years in Lowestoft.

Plus, Alan and Justin revisit their disastrous water-skiing days, debate the joys of arena touring and get into the strange world of airport security and discuss whether they'll spend Christmas together.

The Darkness Crock of Hits is out on 27th November, followed by their arena tour later this year. https://www.thedarknesslive.com/tour-dates/
