Jarvis Cocker has admitted that he's not proud of his stage invasion during Michael Jackson's performance of 'Earth Song' at the 1996 Brit Awards. Which is a shame, because I was hoping he'd reprise it at the King Of Pop's O2 shows.
Cocker told Spin: "That one action transported me to a kind of tabloid fame, which I couldn't have imagined. My whole set of values had nothing to do with that kind of tabloidy thing. It took me a long time to work through. I just pushed it too far with that thing, because it wasn't, 'Jarvis Cocker played an amazing song at the Brit Awards last night'. It was, 'Jarvis Cocker titted about at the Brit Awards last night'. I had been in a band 15 years, and in 15 seconds, I became more well known. All that bloody work! Thrown away!"
