The Beatles dealt 'bad luck' after 'crazy' announcement as fans confused

02 March, 2025 - 0 Comments

BRIT Awards viewers were baffled after The Beatles lost out at tonight's ceremony. The Fab Four were up for the Best Song Award at the biggest night in British music for last year's Now and Then.

The song was written by John Lennon as a solo single in the late 1970s and finished by surviving bandmates Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Ringo Starr. The award nod was the first time they had been nominated for a BRIT Award in over 40 years.

The legendary band previously won the Outstanding Contribution to Music accolade in 1983 and British Group and British Album of the Year for ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. However, they lost out tonight as Charli XCX picked up the award for Guess.

The 32-year-old pop star teamed up with Billie Eilish for the track and took to the stage to accept the award. She said: "Thank you, this is cool. I'm really happy that a song about underwear now has a BRIT Award. Very important stuff. I'm sure that proves something about songwriting, but I'm not sure what.

"Thank you to Billie, I asked whether she wanted to be on the song about three days before we shot the music video, and five days before it came out so shout out to her for moving with pace.
