Arctic Monkeys: Award Shows Are Shite

Contact Music reports:

The ARCTIC MONKEYS are snubbing yet another award ceremony - and will be sending the man who features on their album cover to represent the band at tomorrow (11OCT06) night's Vodafone Live Music Awards in London. The I BET YOU LOOK GOOD ON THE DANCEFLOOR hitmakers are allowing pal CHRIS MCCLURE, who is pictured unshaven and smoking on the cover of WHATEVER PEOPLE SAY I AM, THAT'S WHAT I'M NOT, to take their place at all future industry bashes. A source close to the band says, "The boys will always thank Chris for not cashing in on his appearance on the sleeve. "They reckon he's the perfect man to pick up their awards in future due to his general couldn't-care-less attitude." Earlier this year (FEB06), the Sheffield, England, based foursome also failed to show up at the Brit Awards, although they later released a statement explaining prior commitments to the NME Awards tour had prevented them from attending the ceremony.
