British rock star says parents’ home at risk over weakened sea defences

The Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins has said his mother and father could lose their home because sea defences near Lowestoft are not due to be renewed.

The hard rock band was formed in Lowestoft in 2000 and reached number two in the UK singles chart three years later with 'I Believe In A Thing Called Love'.

Hawkins said in an Instagram post that he was back at home with his parents and had gone for a run along the Suffolk coast, during which "I was forbidden from going along the promenade as it's been allowed to fall into a state of disrepair".
