World-beating Roman rock band Måneskin
got two gongs at the MTV European Music Awards Sunday, whose
ceremony in Paris was cancelled because of the Middle East
conflict.
Damiano, Victoria, Thomas and Ethan picked up the awards for
Best Rock Band and Best Italian Act.
Måneskin beat the likes of Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The
Killers, Arctic Monkeys and Foo Fighters to the best rock band
prize.
It was just the latest triumph for the foursome who sprang to
fame after coming second in X Factor in 2017 before winning the
Sanremo Song Festival and Eurovision Song Contest in 2021 with
'Zitti e buoni'.
They had already won Best Rock Band at the MTV Video Music
Awards 2023.
The band, who started out busking in Rome streets, are currently
playing sold-out gigs on a world tour and are about to release a
new edition of their latest album Rush! (Are U Coming?),
featuring the global smash hit Honey (Are U Coming?).
