The BRITs 1991
Review
Following last year’s Outstanding Contribution win by Queen, veteran rockers Status Quo took the prize this year while The Three Tenors first emerged as prize winners following their 1990 World Cup performance and Michael Hutchence and his group INXS both collected awards.
Watched by an average TV audience of 8.2million, award winners The Cure, Beautiful South and Betty Boo all performed live while Seal’s contribution with partner Adamski was a taste of record things to come from the young singer.
