"Forget the pageantry of most award shows, those boring displays of polished-to-perfection pomp and circumstance. The BRIT Awards is the rebel cousin of the awards show family, a live show where not even the producers know what to expect. Every year's been packed with off-the-cuff shenanigans, musicians off their nut pulling stunts on live telly that you have to see to believe. Well, now you can."
