Klaxons scoop Mercury

Klaxons have won the Nationwide Mercury Prize for Album Of The Year for their Myths Of The Near Future record.

The trio appeared on stage to collect the award in a rather drunk state though Jamie could just about say: “The Mercury’s are about pushing music forward and we believe that’s what we did!”

Earlier Amy Winehouse performed a spine-tingling Love Is A Losing Game without forgetting the words or throwing up.

The singer was back from the Caribbean with only an acoustic guitar accompaniment and got the biggest cheer of the night.
Klaxons- who themselves performed Golden Skans- said they were not surprised they beat Amy. "Her record is a retro record," said Jamie "ours is forward-thinking."


Brain like an 85 year old

Wrestling killer Chris Benoit's brain was so badly damaged at the time of his suicide that it resembled an 85-year-old Alzheimer's patient's, tests revealed today.

Dr Julian Bailes, who carried out the examination on behalf of Chris's father Michael, said the damage was "striking and maybe shocking". Speaking on American TV, he added: "We think we have great anatomical damage here from previous trauma. Whether it had a psychiatric or behavioural expression, we certainly think that's most likely."

Benoit, known for his tough hard-hitting wrestling style, suffered a number of concussions during his wrestling career in Japan and America. He was also a heavy steroid user.

Former WWE star Benoit, 40, murdered his wife Nancy and seven-year-old son Daniel in June before hanging himself.
