Arctic Monkeys snub Brits
The Arctic Monkeys have reportedly refused to perform at this year's Brit Awards.
Show bosses begged the band to perform their hit, Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor, at Earls Court on February 15.
Alex Turner, Andy Nicholson, Jamie Cook and Matt Helders have decided against performing at the ceremony.
Other acts performing on the night include Coldplay, the Kaiser Chiefs, Gorillaz and Kanye West.
According to The Sun a source said: 'The awards are screened around the world and are a great showcase. But the lads hate doing TV shows.'
'They feel it's a bit uncool and that they have so much hype surrounding them it is unnecessary to be there.'
'They only did one TV show for T4 and hated every minute. They have vowed never to go on Top of the Pops or CD:UK.'
The band have sold almost 200,000 copies of their album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not in just two days.
