Awards
Mojo Awards presented
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 22 July 2011
So, it was the Mojo Awards in London last night. You can focus on Rumer winning the Breakthrough Award or the Arctic Monkeys getting best album if you want, because those are the two wins that seem to have interested the most people.
Though some media coverage has focused on the fact that Ringo Starr, who was at the music mag’s awards bash to pick up the Icon Award, told Sky News he definitely wouldn’t be appearing on stage with Paul McCartney at any Olympics concert next summer, because he’ll be touring the US for the duration of the Games.
