Suede will be honoured with the Inspiration Award. One of the most prominent pop acts of the 90's, they radically changed the boundaries of the genre after stepping into the shoes left vacant by The Smiths. Led by frontman Brett Anderson and guitar wizard Bernard Butler, their self-titled debut album of 1993 and the follow-up Dog Man Star, were a shot in the arm for British guitar music. Too good to last, they proved the old adage the light that burns twice as bright burns half as long.
The group split in 2002, but reformed earlier this year for a brace of new shows. Suede are in fantastic form and their legendary status is standing the test of time, with a Best Of due for release in November. The award is in perfect timing as they have a huge sold out O2 arena date to look forward to in December.
