And Finally Awards
Hey MTV, the winners were Keys not Eyed Peas
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 20 October 2010
Bluesy rock boys Black Keys got a bit of a surprise when they were handed their Best Breakthrough award at MTV’s VMAs bash last month, and not only because they were given a ‘breakthrough’ prize eight years after releasing their first album. The big surprise was that their award had Black Eyed Peas written on it.
We know this know because MTV have issued an apology, telling reporters: “MTV sincerely regrets the clerical error that resulted in The Black Keys receiving the wrong VMA awards. We are happy to report new trophies reflecting The Black Keys’ win are currently in development and they should receive them shortly. Lastly, we thank The Black Keys for their considerable patience and understanding regarding this matter”.
