‘Greatest Act’
The band and Paul McGuinness were at the Grosvenor House Hotel on London’s Park Lane for the 2011 Q Awards this afternoon.
As the UK music monthly marked its 25th anniversary there were lots of old friends present to pick up awards, including Snow Patrol (‘Classic Song’), Coldplay (‘Best Act In The World Today’) and Noel Gallagher (‘Q Icon’).
Bono, Edge, Adam and Larry were all on stage to hear readers had voted them ‘Greatest Act Of The Last 25 Years’.
‘I remember back before Q.’ said Edge. ‘It was, ‘Thou shall not go platinum, thou shall not go to America… Q changed all that.’
The award was ‘humbling, added Bono, ‘If the Clash were up here, we’d be carrying their gear.’
