Brit 2008 Awards
Paul McCartney was honored at the Brit 2008 Awards last night. He received the award for Outstanding Contribution To Music, and then performed a five song set which included “Live and Let Die,” “Hey Jude” and “Lady Madonna.” Host Ozzy Osbourne introduced McCartney as the artist who inspired him to begin a career in music.
Hey Paul, it must feel good to be honored by the British music industry, especially after spending weeks in court during a bitter divorce settlement with ex-wife Heather Mills.
Other Brit winners were Take That for Best British Live Act, the Arctic Monkeys for Best British Album and Group, Mika for Best Breakthrough Act, Mark Ronson for Best British Male Solo Artist, Kate Nash for Best British Female Solo Artist, Kylie Minogue for Best International Female Solo Artist and Kanye West for Best International Male Solo Artist.
It has been noted by several news sources that the British music industry is also suffering record losses in CD sales as more fans download digital music.
