Sam Fox & Mick Fleetwood at The Brits (1989)

[@BossySwan]

The Boy George bit is so hilariously random

[@noclue9226]

I was actually there for the run through. It was not fine. I remember saying to my cameraman “ The TelePrompTer is too far away for her. She can’t see the words.” Also, there’s a knack to reading scrolling text on a prompter and it was obvious, even in rehearsals, that neither of them knew how to do it. Add in the nerves on the night and it was no surprise that it was a disaster.

It was the best Brit awards for that very same reason. Absolute crap for the last 20 odd years.

As i said Sam was brought in at the last minute cos she had been on The Today Show

[@garyhunt8067]

They're not to blame, the organisers are. Sam Fox and Mick Fleetwood were just used as scapegoats.

[@zwastiunburzy3688]

Mick looks like the creepy butler at Count Dracula's castle.

[@MagicalMysteryGirl22]

😂😂😂😂

[@marktilley2513]

it definitely wasn't Sam fault or Mick but it was the auto q

[@trustnuffin9121]

No one is perfect....are you ?? These are two beautiful people who simply tripped up and I love them both even more for it !

[@artemiszeus9735]

It needed actual presenters. Sam and Mick were not. Actual live TV presenters are able to keep it moving when things like that go wrong.

[@Myplop]

Bang on the money

[@deerheart87]

Exactly

[@BananaCologne]

Never liked the way Mick just left Sam flapping in the wind. After that, she took all the flak and he was hardly ever mentioned. C*nty.

[@williamturner7580]

The whole idea of having an awards show "The Brits" just sums this up.

[@KayleighNatasha]

Wouldn't be the BRITS without some drama

SF is fab!

She didn’t have no rorries at all. No rorries

Sam was brought in at the last moment when Paula Yates thru a sickie, blame the producer Jonathan King...

The Frank Skinner & Zoe Ball partnership almost beat this as worst Brit Awards.

[@christopherwatts1833]

It did😊

[@vanessaaleean7382]

I thought Mick Fleetwood was a total jerk to Sam when I first saw that.

[@stephenjessop862]

Bill Wyman looks well annoyed. Can anyone hear what he says when he steps forward to the microphone?

[@TobiasReturns]

He was probably worried his 13 year old girlfriend wasn't on show

[@bonniebianco5918]

Mick liked Sam .

[@MartinFarrell1972]

Autocue couldn't be read and there was no communication from the back. I think they had to wing it. The media unfairly slaughtered them. Worst thing (or best?) was it was live.

[@marcusproctor8232]

Classic moment tho!! 🙂🙂

brits Michael Jackson Jarvis

It was car crash television and who on earth thought Mick Fleetwood and Sam Fox could work together well.

[@anjawiingaardpoulsen4803]

Love you Forever Sam Fox❤️

[@ellie698]

I've worked on backstage crews for shows like this. They're rehearsed to DEATH. Every single thing is scripted and timed and planned ahead. There's no way this went wrong by mistake. It has to have been a deliberate stitch up, there's no other plausible explanation. Seriously, a live show like this, and NOTHING is left to chance. There are backups and plan Bs in place just in case of technical issues on the night. The presenters were stitched up. The WHOLE crew talk to each other in earpieces continually, these shows are planned with regimental precision. They were stitched up.
