Damien Hirst
British Music industry's biggest night of the year, the Brit Awards 2013 kicks off tonight with some of the biggest names in music taking part.
Tonights trophy has been designed by controversial artist Damien Hirst. He put his own stamp on the statue, adding the multi-coloured dots which he has used in many of his well-known artworks. His spots have been applied to numerous canvases and even a car over the years.
He follows Dame Vivienne Westwood and Sir Peter Blake in giving the statuette a makeover, and said he had been “honoured” to be asked.
On designing the statue, he said: "I am honoured to be asked to design this year's statue, it has become such an iconic award, I love the BRITs."
Brits chairman David Joseph said: “Damien is truly one of the most important British artists and his reimagining of the statue will make winning a 2013 Brits an even more special proposition.”
