russell kane couldn’t please crowd at nme awards

The comic, who struggled with a drunk and boisterous crowd, lost the room in five minutes and failed to land a single gag.

Instead of heading to the afterparties, he packed up his guy-liner and headed home.

The lead singer said: "They should just spike everyone's drinks so that people do something outrageous."

He brought along DIDZ HAMMOND, who used to play bass in DIRTY PRETTY THINGS.

And Brett said Didz would be having a word with former band-mate CARL BARAT to see if they could reunite soon.
