In 2012, famed London tourist attraction Madame Tussauds unveiled a waxwork figure of Justin Hawkins, frontman from The Darkness. It's the kind of honour usually reserved for the likes of the late Diana, Princess Of Wales, Ludwig van Beethoven and Napoleon Bonaparte, but Waxwork Hawkins wasn't just part of some mere historical display. Waxwork Hawkins had a job.
Fronting an exhibition called Air Guitar Star, in which ticket-holders could mime along to a series of popular tunes, Waxwork Hawkins would deliver pre-recorded pronouncements on their performances.
