Arctic Monkeys
The BRIT Awards immediately turned up the heat with a kickoff performance by the Arctic Monkeys, who took the O2 Arena stage in London on Wednesday to perform "R U Mine?" — possibly as a gesture to the awards show itself, as the band has had a controversial history with the Brits. Frontman Alex Turner wore a green blazer with his hair slicked back, and sang out into the crowd that found themselves around a giant A and M, each lit by fire.
