Brits go live, maybe

According to The Sun, Brits organisers are considering a live broadcast and more provocative acts, with the Sex Pistols reportedly under discussion.

According to The Sun, Brits organisers are hoping to pull in a bigger audience next time around by staging a live broadcast, and inviting acts more likely to cause trouble on the night. Well, that's what'd happen if they did manage to get The Sex Pistols along, which is reportedly something they're considering. Whether they'd be as entertaining as Jarvis Cocker waving his arse around is open to question.

A source told the tabloid: "We don't have the outrageous behaviour we used to. That is because we don't have acts on such as Oasis. We tend to focus on the biggest bands of the year. It's not our fault those were James Blunt and Coldplay. We're looking at injecting the show with more drama. If we were giving the Lifetime Achievement Award to the Sex Pistols then it might give us that edge. It's been discussed. Going back to screening the show on the night might encourage some bad behaviour. Viewers say they want it live."
