get that static instance to initialise staticly instead of lazily... do

private static Singleton instance = new Singleton();

and the getInstance just returns 'instance'. That way you're removing all multithreading concerns from the singleton mechanism.

What if there are other variables that need to be present in this class (which is usually the case) and need to be initialized in the constructor. In that case with what values will you initialize the singleton instance statically?
