Tina Kunakey, 25, wows in a green gown as she puts on a loved up display with husband Vincent Cassel, 55, at Cannes Film Festival Newly single Calvin Harris puts on a cosy display with ab flashing Vick Hope as the pair visit Chelsea Flower ShowĬhristina Hall is barefoot by the shore as she joins husband Josh for a stroll with their dogs Stella and Cash in Newport Beach There will always be a place for good-time rock bands who refuse to take themselves too seriously.Įmily Ratajkowski displays her incredible toned frame in busty thigh-split sheer gown as she attends Cannes Film Festival It's no surprise that The Darkness are still sought out as touring partners by stars as big as Lady Gaga and Ed Sheeran. 'They're easy to come up with but difficult to play.' How Can I Lose Your Love expresses regret at a failed relationship and Heart Explodes tugs at the emotions while dissecting the creative process: 'I'm trying to write a ballad that makes you want to stay,' sings Justin. Some of the most convincing moments arrive when the band play it (almost) straight. Reiterating his eccentric streak, Hawkins recalls an ill-fated childhood boating holiday on the jazzy Deck Chair. We Are The Guitar Men provides an effective counterpoint, closing the record by reiterating an unquenchable faith in rock's relevance.Įlsewhere, Justin's teenage years are revisited on Live 'Til I Die and there's an affectionate, but hilarious, Liam Gallagher impersonation on Choke On It. Rock And Roll Deserves To Die, which nods to Jethro Tull in its acoustic intro and Led Zeppelin in its chorus, dismisses most of today's rock musicians as charlatans covered in lavish tattoos, but with 'nothing real to perform'. Those themes inform the title track and two epics - Rock And Roll Deserves To Die and We Are The Guitar Men - that bookend the album.
He's a very naughty boy.īut the concept of a world governed by musicians rather than politicians gives Easter Is Cancelled an eerily contemporary narrative. With Justin's guitar-playing brother Dan Hawkins producing and drummer Rufus Taylor (son of Queen's Roger) an excellent rhythmic anchor, it plays unashamedly to the band's melodic strengths.Ĭrunching power chords and layered harmonies dominate and Justin, 44, can still unleash that trademark falsetto scream.Ī Life Of Brian-style sleeve is intended to symbolise the notion of alternative realities, although the fact that this Jesus looks just like Justin feels suspect. Provided you take it with a pinch of salt, it should raise a smile. It is also - mercifully - essentially tongue in cheek. Billed as a mini rock opera, it touches on science fiction, religion and the role of the musician in society while pondering the existence of an infinite number of parallel worlds. Their renewed swagger is evident on Easter Is Cancelled. Justin Hawkins of The Darkness as the band release their first concept album
