Arctic Monkeys may boycott Brits

Arctic Monkeys are reportedly undecided about attending the Brit Awards, allegedly over fears Take That will dominate the event, though a party invite may persuade them.

The Arctic Monkeys reportedly can't decide whether or not to attend this year's Brit Awards, despite their three nominations. The unsure-ness is allegedly because the band fear Take That are going to storm the event, and they have had something of a feud with Gary Barlow et al since the 2006 Q Awards, when they declared the reformed boy band as a "load of bollocks". But a source has told the Mirror that they hope an invite to an after show party that may or may not be held by Outstanding Contribution winner Paul McCartney might persuade the Monkeys to attend. I not sure I buy any of this. It sounds a bit like one of those stories that is, erm, a "load of bollocks".
