Darkness buy sheep farm

Flamboyant rockers The Darkness are buying a rural farm in their native Britain so they can rehearse in peace away from the bright lights of London.

The band, fronted by Justin Hawkins, have spent nearly €1m on the sheep farm in the village of Spooner Row, Suffolk, near their hometown of Lowestoft in England.

It's thought The Darkness plan on building a state-of-the-art recording studio on the property.
