According to The Sun, Hawkins, who is addicted to hard drugs, has decided to concentrate on detoxication.
The singer considers himself sober after nine weeks at a clinic called The Priory. He believes that returning to the group would not be a good idea, after all of the work in getting clean.
The singer explained, "I hit absolute rock bottom. I spent over £150,000 on cocaine in three years – a frightening amount. I regularly used to stay up for four days at a time on coke and alcohol binges."
Hawkins went on to explain that his abuse of alcohol and drugs started in 2002, when The Darkness became popular in England with the song I Believe in a Thing Called Love.
