Darkness Singer Sold Soul To Devil In Exchange For Fame And Fortune, Claims UK Voodoo Doctor

Lord of Darkness may have helped UK rockers rise to fame.

EASTERN ENGLAND (PRWEB) December 31, 2003 --The meteoric rise to success of UK rock band The Darkness may not be all it seems. According to UK Voodoo doctor, Doktor Snake, they had a little help from the Lord of Darkness himself. Snake says the band's lead singer Justin Hawkins consulted him on making a pact with the Devil in exchange for fame and fortune.

Sometime during 2002, when the retro rockers were still unknowns playing in pubs, Norwich-based Snake claims he took Hawkins to a deserted crossroads and helped him make the Faustian pact.

"I took Justin out at midnight to a deserted crossroads in some marches near Lowestoft in Suffolk, where he grew up," says Snake. "He was pretty scared, but he wanted fame badly."

Apparently Hawkins contacted Snake after reading his book "Doktor Snake's Voodoo Spellbook" (St. Martins Press), which provides new insight into the legend of 1930s bluesman Robert Johnson, who reportedly sold his soul to the Devil in return for fame and guitar expertise.

Hawkins - desperate for fame after years of struggling - decided that he too might benefit from a walk on the darkside. The fact that Snake - a self-confessed Voodoo doctor - lived in the unlikely location of Norwich, only 25 miles from Lowestoft where Hawkins grew up, sealed it for him and he gave the Voodoo man a call.

"I knew straight away that Justin had star quality and that making the Pact would take him all the way," confides Snake. "It was written all over him. But no matter how talented you are, you often need the extra push. Making the pact with Satan gave it to him."

Hawkins himself recently reflected that, "This time last year I was a music nobody. Today I sit at the top of the music tree."

Whatever the truth, no-one can deny that the rise to fame of The Darkness has been nothing short of uncanny.
