Manic Street Preachers and Blur Win Big At Mojo AwardsJune 12, 2009
![]() The Manics took home the maverick award, while the newly-reformed Blur collected the inspiration award and Fleet Foxes the best live act. Elsewhere Elbow won best song for 'Day Like This' and Paul Weller's '22 Dreams' was named as the coveted best album. The biggest winner on the night was Yoko Ono who received a lifetime achievement honour for her services to music. John Lennon's widow said upon receiving the award: "For the longest time I never expected people to be so warm when I get on stage." Mojo editor Phil Alexander told the BBC: "(Yoko) may have been married to one of the most famous men in the world, but she also helped change music as we know it in her own right. "First, by introducing avant-garde sensibilities to her husband but, just as significantly, by continuing to push the boundaries of what was deemed the norm way after that." Other winners on the night were Mott The Hoople who entered the Mojo Hall of Fame, The Pretty Things who won the hero award and Joy Divison who received the vision award.
