Edge Makes an Icon
Edge was at the MOJO Awards in London tonight, presenting the 'Icon Award' to Siouxsie Sioux.
The MOJO Icon Award was presented to Siouxsie Sioux for her 'spectacular global career'. It was voted for by MOJO readers and the other nominees were Marc Bolan, John Lydon, David Bowie and The Ramones.
At the same awards Gang Of Four picked up The MOJO Inspiration Award from Blur's Alex James, beating Pixies, Tom Waits, Morrissey and Neil Young to scoop the honour. Paul Weller won Mojo Songwriter Award for 'the artist whose career has been defined by consistently writing classic material.' Voted for by MOJO readers and presented by last year's winner, the Kinks' Ray Davies, other nominees included Brian Wilson, Damien Rice, Van Morrison and Kate Bush.
Madness were honoured with their first ever music award when they were presented with The MOJO Hall of Fame Award by Dizzee Rascal and Phil Jupitus.
"This was an amazing night, which brought together real musical heroes," said MOJO Editor Phil Alexander. "That Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, The Edge and Sinead O'Connor just came to present awards, meant that the mutual respect in the room was simply breathtaking. Between them, the attendees have sold around half a billion records, something that's simply
staggering."
