A whole list of musical heroes were honoured at the MOJO Awards in London yesterday (Tuesday).
The magazine wanted to reward the legends who inspired and influenced musicians of today - and they certainly got a good turnout.
James Brown was there to pick up the Lifetime Achievement Award, Mick Jones from the Clash got the Inspiraton Award and the Red Hot Chili Peppers were given the Maverick Award for producing consistently good music and honouring their staying power.
And backstage they were as modest as ever:
"Well, you know, it's tough being so handsome and talented and smart and everything. I'm just trying to work with it. It's tough. It's lonely at the top."
Oasis can't wait for Glasto
Morrissey was given the Icon Award by Noel Gallagher. The Oasis star had been tidying up at home before going to the awards bash and said the band are really looking forward to playing Glastonbury - especially as they'll have Zak Starkey - Ringo Starr's son - on the drums:
"Great, you know. He's a really nice guy and he's a great drummer, and it'll be an honour for us to have one of The Beatles' kids in our band, you know"
"I'm looking forward to doing the gig. The bit leading up to the day, I don't like the hours leading up to these things. It can be a bit of a pain trying to get everyone in and all that ****, but the gig will be great and afterwards will be amazing!"
