Title: Rolling Stones nominated for BRIT award
Post by Patrick on Jan 10^th, 2013 at 1:47pm

The Rolling Stones have been nominated for the BRIT award of Best Live Act. After playing five amazing and lucrative shows for their "50 And Counting" tour in 2012, it would not go undeserved.

Keith Richards said: "Onstage is where we belong. When I'm up there with Mick, Charlie and Ronnie, everything is rocking, so a big thanks to BRIT fans..."

Mick Jagger said: "We all had such a blast, everyone was at the top of their game, and the hometown audiences at The O2 were just fantastic. It's great to be nominated ..we will see you soon."

Mick's quote further fuels the fire of rumours circulating that the band will perform another tour in 2013.

Wouldnt hold out much hope of them performing at it, though.

Traditionally, they give someone an 'Outstanding Contribution to British Music' award and the act in question closes the show with a 15-20 minute performance (if the act doesnt agree to do the gig, then they award it to someone else - nothing like instantly devaluing the bloody thing).

The Stones have never been given this award (apparently they turned it down many years ago as they saw it as something they should get at the end of their career) and the award is being 'rested' this year.

Is it public votes which decides the winner or a panel?
