Tokio Hotel scoop MTV Europe Awards gong The new Fab Four just love Liverpool!
German teen rock sensations Tokio Hotel carried on their incredible year by landing the best live band gong at the MTV Europe Awards in Liverpool last night. Other big winners included comeback queen Britney Spears, who won two awards – 'Best Act' and 'Album of the Year'.


Tokio Hotel scooped their prize in the 'most impressive live band at a festival or on tour’ category, beating off competition from the likes of Metallica and The Cure.
In September, the young German rockers - whose hits include ‘Monsoon’ - were given the 'Best Newcomer Award' at the MTV Video Awards show in Los Angeles. Their winning streak continued at the MTV Latin Awards in Mexico.

“We are so happy, this is so crazy” said singer Bill Kaulitz (19) during his acceptance speech in Liverpool, famous for being the home of the original 'Fab Four' the 'Beatles'. “You guys are the best,” he told his fans.

Tokio Hotel were also nominated for ‘Best Act of all Time’, but lost out to British pop star Rick Astley (42). The whole group - twins (Bill and Tom Kaulitz, Georg Listing and Gustav Schafer - were all present at the awards, despite drummer Gustav recent crashing his car into a tram in Germany.

Britney continued her huge comeback, winning awards in two of the biggest categories, but was not present on the night and spoke to the 40,000 music fans in Liverpool’s Echo Arena by satellite: “It’s such an honour. Sorry I can’t be there, but have a blast!”
This year marked the 15th anniversary of the MTV Europe Awards show. Fans voted in the different categories by internet and phone and the ceremony was watched by 30 million fans worldwide.
