Arctic Monkey Alex Turner made a surprise appearance at the Shockwaves NME Awards show in London last night, joining newcomers The Rascals for a rendition of their track 'Is It Too Late'. Rascals frontman Miles Kane announced: "I want to introduce my mate Alex. He is going to help us out with this one", before Turner played guitar and did a bit of singing to the delight of the assembled crowd. Kane and Turner are, of course, set to release a joint album in April.
Kane told NME.com "The ending was one of the best endings ever of a gig. How did we get Alex along? Him and me have been doing press for three days [for the new album] so I just said come and do this, and he did".
