Rolling Stones legend Mick Jagger has heaped praise on his fellow British musicians after they dominated the Grammys a week ago, scooping a combined 16 top gongs.
The Brown Sugar hitmaker - who stormed the American charts in the Sixties - thinks this is one of the best ever times for British music.
He tells British newspaper The Sun, "With British acts doing so well at the Grammys last week it’s proving to be a great period for home-grown talent right now.
"And what is so refreshing is the different styles that have been recognized - Coldplay, Duffy, Adele and Radiohead make up an eclectic bunch, proving there’s a lot of fresh British talent out there.
"I like that these acts have paid their dues in the way we had to. There is certainly an upsurge of diverse Brit acts breaking through in the US and overseas - good to see it. Long may it continue."
