"We already have someone, and we actually played our first show with him last night," said Hawkins. "The 'drummist' will be known as Rufus Taylor, son of Roger Taylor."

Taylor made his debut with The Darkness at a Gibson release party in London for their upcoming album, "Last of Our Kind", after a friend recommended him to the group.

"Rufus just happened to be in Australia at the time when we needed to get someone in," explained Hawkins. "So he stepped off a plane at 6AM yesterday, went straight to a rehearsal with us, where we ran through things a couple of times - the set we were playing that night - and then we went straight to the place and did a gig. Talk about seat of the pants!"
