No BRIT Award for Dire Straits

Dire Straits album “Brothers in Arms” was one of ten albums up for the Best Album of the Past 30 years award at the 2010 BRIT Awards on Feb. 16. However, that award was won by Oasis for their album “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?”

The highlight of the night was when Oasis lead singer Liam Gallagher accepted the award for Best BRITS album of the past 30 years. After words of thanks to band mates and fans, Gallagher launched the award and the microphone into the air before storming off stage.

Though Dire Straits has no reunion tour in the works, Mark Knopfler tickets are selling already for his tour starting in April!
