Editors Promise Sober Brits Awards

The Editors have promised not to get too squiffy at next month’s Brit Awards, as they’re starting their new tour the following day.

Singer Tom Smith has proved he and his band are ever the consummate professionals by vowing to stay relatively sober at the usually boozy industry bash.

“But we start the Irish and UK tour the day after - and that's going to be an early morning start. So we can't get too drunk - which is a shame - but we'll certainly enjoy ourselves," he tells the Daily Star.

As his bandmates told us this week, Smith certainly isn’t expecting having to raise a glass in celebration at winning the Best British Group gong.

“We don't actually mind going up against pop acts like Girls Aloud and Take That - fair play to them, they're good at what they do. I think Kaiser Chiefs will win it, though. They really are a great band,” he opines.
