Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sam Fender has said it is “fantastic” to have been nominated for three Brit Awards.
Speaking to the Press Association on the red carpet, the North Shields artist also commented on being excited to attend the ceremony.
“I love any excuse to come out dressed up like this and have a party. And we got a party bus full of sausages and booze,” he said.
The “Hypersonic Missiles” artist was then asked what he would do if he won. Fender replied: "Drive the bus into the Thames. I think we are going to go out and party."
Fender was also asked how his younger self would react to being nominated and he said: "I think he would be sick and I think he would expect us to be a lot more badass than we are."
Fender is nominated for Album of the Year, Artist of the Year and Best Rock/Alternative Act.
He previously won the Critics’ Choice Award in 2019.
The Brit Awards are taking place at the O2 Arena in London and are being hosted by comedian Mo Gilligan.
Those nominated include Adele, The Weeknd and Dave while the event will see performances from Ed Sheeran, Liam Gallagher and Little Simz.
