The Darkness Frontman Explains Why Some Musicians Think Yungblud Is A Poser

On Sunday night, the MTV Video Music Awards staged a tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne, with the young British rocker type Yungblud joining Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry and Extreme’s Nuno Bettencourt to perform a medley of Osbourne’s songs. Lots of people wasn’t into it. One of those people was the Darkness guitarist Dan Hawkins. In an Instagram post that went viral, Hawkins called the performers and possibly the audience and network executives “a bunch of bellends.” Now, Hawkins’ brother and bandmate Justin, lead singer for the Darkness, has put together a YouTube video explaining why people might thing that Yungblud specifically is a bit of a bellend — or, as he terms it, a “poser.”
