Shortly before The BRIT Awards 2020 main event kicked off last night (18th February), Absolute Radio’s Ross Buchanan hit The O2 red carpet to chat to the stars.

Looking like a “Smurf shedding its skin” (according to our very own Frank Skinner) in a fetching blue outfit, Ross was armed with a bag of chocolates and played “BRITs Bingo” with musicians on their way in. He also asked them pertinent questions about their ideal menu choices at award bashes, how they see the music scene evolving over the next decade, and more.

Watch Absolute Radio’s red carpet interviews with Smiths legend Johnny Marr, Absolute Radio’s Frank Skinner and Emily Dean, Foals, Sam Fender, Dermot Kennedy and Bring Me The Horizon right here:
