Brit Awards: 30 years of fights, fashion and fiascos

As a journalist I’ve been backstage covering the event for years – and still vividly remember watching the nightmare pairing of Mick Fleetwood and Sam Fox, from the coughing, spluttering start (Mick) to the fighting back the tears end (Sam) . . .

Most cringey moment was Boy George being announced as the Four Tops.

When Mick and his band Fleetwood Mac returned to pick up an Outstanding Contribution to Music award in 1998, he grabbed me and said: “Please tell me that Page Three girl isn’t anywhere near.”
