Roger Taylor's son Rufus has joined The Darkness.

The drummer replaces outgoing member Emily Davies, who joined after original sticksman Ed Graham quit last year.

Guitarist Dan Hawkins told Real Radio XS: "We already have someone, and we actually played our first show with him last night.

"The 'drummist' will be known as Rufus Taylor, son of Roger Taylor."

The Darkness, who count Queen as a major influence, will release new album 'Last of Our Kind' on June 1.

It features drumming from Davies.
