Then Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott was left soaked when Chumbawamba vocalist Danbert Nobacon poured a jug of iced water over him at the 1998 BRIT Awards.
The ‘Tubthumping’ hitmakers attacked New Labour on stage at the award, singing: ‘New Labour sold out the dockers, just like they sell out to us.’
Afterwards the band were unapologetic and declared: ‘If John Prescott has the nerve to turn up at events like the BRIT Awards in a vain attempt to make Labour seem cool and trendy, then he deserves all we can throw at him.’
