justin Hawkins Clarifies Comments on Yungblud‘s Authenticity

The⁣ Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins has clarified his comments about yungblud‘s authenticity ​as a rock‍ star, saying ⁤he never​ “intended to incite a ​feud” and emphasised that “it’s ⁣OK⁢ to be a bit sceptical.”

​ ​ ⁢The fracas began after the band’s guitarist Dan Hawkins called the artist⁤ – real name Dom Harrison’s – ⁤performance ⁤paying tribute to ozzy Osbourne ​with ⁤ Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Extreme’s Nuno Bettencourt ⁣at the⁢ MTV VMAs “another nail in the ‌coffin of rock ‌n roll”. He also called Harrison, as well​ as his fellow performers “a bunch‍ of bellends”.

⁤ justin hawkins would later expand on Dan’s comments on his YouTube channel, describing the performance as “rock⁢ n’ roll seen ⁤through an Instagram filter⁤ of some sort” and adding: “Yungblud seems ⁤to have positioned himself‌ as⁤ a natural heir to the ⁤Ozzy legacy, having nothing to do with the really vital stuff.”

‍ in ‌response, Harrison ‍described his critics as “bitter and jealous” explaining: “They are‌ doing the things they say we are doing⁣ – they’re trying to insert⁢ themselves into a conversation ‍to obtain some kind of relevancy, on the back of us honouring one of the greatest rock stars that
