THE DARKNESS Singer To Undergo Throat Surgery

April 21, 2004

THE DARKNESS singer Justin Hawkins will undergo throat surgery later this month to correct a recurring heartburn problem, according to NME.com.

Hawkins told KROQ's "Kevin and Bean" morning show: "I'm going to have an operation. (It's on) my oesophagus, because I get acid reflux, which comes into my throat and is the reason why I had to cancel a couple of shows this tour."

The singer admitted the surgery does come with risks, which he says his colleagues are concerned about. He added: "Certain people are (worried) but they're going to insist on the smallest tube possible for the key hole and then some people are going to help me to try and get back.

"They don't anticipate that it'll be any permanent damage but it will take a while to get it back to normal."
