Justin Hawkins has another go at Chris Martin and Frankie Poullain

The Darkness's Justin Hawkins tells The Sun that Chris Martin's Band Aid 20 involvement was self-serving, and that former bandmate Frankie Poullain is talentless.

Justin Hawkins of The Darkness has had another go at Chris Martin. As we reported last week, Hawkins said that Chris Martin has a "narcissism complex" and, according to The Sun, he now says that Martin's involvement in the Band Aid 20 project was purely to further his own interests. The rocker told the tabloid: "During Band Aid Chris swanned in, stayed for about 20 minutes - and his own VIP area. We were there for two days and worked our behinds off. He obviously didn't care. I got the sense he was just doing it to raise his profile."

Hawkins also had some cruel, cruel words about former sacked bandmate Frankie Poullain: "We all know the truth about Frankie - he's talentless," he allegedly told The Sun. "We're still talking about the settlement but he'll always claim more than he's due. He sectioned himself off from the group. Then, when he was sacked, he believed it was his role to be devil's advocate. He's vain and paranoid."
