HAWKINS WANTS QUEEN JOB - "there is no new Queen tour" :'(

i found this on official queenonline.com website:

"HAWKINS WANTS QUEEN JOB
Justin Hawkins of The Darkness has a not-so-secret hankering to front the new Queen tour*. He said: 'I know they have Paul Rodgers who is great but, if he ever had a holiday, I would so like that job. I just love the band.'

*Please note...there is no 'new Queen tour'!"


and this last sentence disturbed me alot :(

There hasnt been one announced yet...that doesn't mean there never will be.

I would so support Queen's decision if they wanted Hawkins to front them. I know Paul Rodgers has the job right now and is recording with the band, but it would be great to see Hawkins with Queen. I think he would do a great job and would suit Queen better than Paul would. Think about it, Paul Rodgers is more of a blues based rock singer. I'm not saying that Paul does a shitty job with Queen, but I just think it would be awesome to see Hawkins sing an old classic like The Ferry Fellers Master Stroke. His voice is just crazy enough to do it! Hawkins is just so flamboyant that it would just work! I can't wait to read your comments...

I would love to see a collaboration of some sort between Justin, Brian and Roger.

Hawkins has no chance at all.. Brian and Roger are in the studio right now, together with Paul. If there will be a new tour, it will be with Paul. Sorry Justin!

Work together in the future? Bri and Roger are getting old people.. I don't expect them touring till they die!

I think justin would have suited them more 15-20 years ago, but now now, they have aged, grown, and matured, and i think paul is a perfect fit for the guys

One of the reasons that Justin quit The Darkness was because of the temptation to use drugs whilst on tour. Touring with Queen in their current state, I would have thought this would be less likely than say 25 years ago when they had the likes of the New Orleans parties.

justin woulda been about 8-13 yrs old back then ;-)

I'm sure there must be some tour crew roadie job that Justin can apply for. Besides, many roadies spend a lot of times doing dope in the tour bus, so Justin could have a lot of fun doing that.

Oh wait... did he mean a job as a lead singer? Sorry to break this to you Justin, but not in a million fuckin' years.

Now, grab that mop and start cleaning the stage.

Maybe he could sell T-shirts and Programs, work the concession stand...

Regardless, it's a pretty stupid way to apply for the job.

I dont know if anybody agrees with me but if Paul wasnt fronting Queen at the moment I think that Steve Perry (ex journey singer) would have been perfect. What do people think on that? His range is the same as freddie's and he has the same energy and passion in his voice, and at the moment is not in a band!

There is no way that Queen are touring with that muppet hawkins is a waste of space and the darkness are a joke.

oh i know that, i'm just saying his style and persona that HE has NOW, would have suited QUEEN'S style THEN

Justin Hawkins is the best vocalist since Freddie Mercury died...
I think it would be a great colaboration
