Brit Awards apologise for shushing Adele, Nick Cave explains Grinderman 'reformation', David Cameron refuses to stop liking The Smiths... Music News Daily

Wednesday, 20 February


The chairman of the Brit Awards, Universal executive David Joseph, has admitted the event "wronged" Adele last year by cutting off her acceptance speech. "How can you take an artist who has made the biggest cultural impact musically this country has seen globally for some time and cut her off in the middle of her speech?" he asked. "I very much to this day question what was happening in that [TV] control booth. I can hint something is going to happen this year to rewrite that wrong." The 2013 Brit Awards take place tonight.

Nick Cave has explained the reasoning behind Grinderman "reformation" to play this year's Coachella festival. Although The Bad Seeds' spin-off band only went on hiatus a couple of years ago as Cave and co switched back to their original formation to record latest album Push The Sky Away (released this week), their garage incarnation will "reform" to play the Californian event in April. "Every other shitty band is doing it," reasoned Cave of the booking in a Twitter Q&A with fans, "why not someone who's actually good?"
