The Darkness are set to reform after brothers Justin and Dan Hawkins resolved their feud, it's been reported.

Justin left the group in 2006 in order to undergo rehabilitation for drug addiction, but the rest of the band carried on without him.

However, according to the Sun, they have now been reunited by drummer Ed Graham, who recently became a father.

"Dan and Justin's falling out was a very bitter affair,” a source said. “They didn't speak for almost half a decade.

“But spending time with Ed and his family has reminded them all how close they once were."

It is understood that the group are currently rehearsing ahead of a tour next year.
