Well, sort of...

Published 15th Nov 2013

Okay first of all, we didn't steal this. But we didn't win it either...

Last night, Planet Rock's Paul Anthony was in attendance at The Classic Rock Awards to cover the red carpet and beyond.

In a bizarre turn of events that we're still trying to piece together, he ended up with an award belonging to The Rolling Stones, who were honoured with the "Band Of The Year" title.
