Justin Hawkins, front man of the British rock band The Darkness, recently talked about how Movember has changed his life. His story shows how simply growing a moustache can have a life-changing affect in people’s lives.



“I grew the facial hair for the charity initiative Movember a couple of years ago. It has completely changed my life. My moustache protects me against the haters. It's like a shield."

The lead singer dealt with severe drug and alcohol dependency problems following the rapid rise and success of his band. According to recent reports, he’s returning to the rock fray with a reformed Darkness line-up, a sober lifestyle, and a wax-tipped, 'Three Musketeers'-esque moustache and beard combo.
