Be that treated [badly] by the main act or backstage.”Responding to the question, Hawkins explained: “The Darkness supported Disturbed at Brixton Academy [in 2002].
And I really love Brixton Academy; I think it’s probably my favourite venue.“It was the worst and also one of the best experiences because people were just throwing stuff. But some of the things they were throwing were, like, shoes, bottles and coins and stuff. But the thing about coins is it’s money, so in a way that was a good thing, really.“It’s funny, though, ’cause I was right at the front of the stage.
It kind of made me perform more, which made them more angry.”He continued: “And somebody – one of the Disturbed fans who… I’ve got a lot of time for Disturbed as a band, I think they’re just brilliant… if you like that sort of thing. But one of their fans threw a piece of chewing gum that presumably had been in their mouth, and it actually landed in my mouth. It was just a brilliant shot.
