HE'S barely out of his teens, but ARCTIC MONKEYS frontman ALEX TURNER is
leading the nominations at Britain's Mojo Awards.
The Sheffield lad is hoping to win prizes in four categories with his original
band and side project THE LAST SHADOW PUPPETS.
The chart-topping quartet - who shot to fame with I Bet You Look Good On The
Dancefloor in 2005 - are up for Best Album with Favourite Worst Nightmare
and Best Live Act.
Alex's side project, which he fronts with THE RASCALS singer MILES
KANE, will fight it out for Best Song with The Age Of The Understatement
and for Best Breakthrough Act.
Welsh songbird DUFFY will battle both acts, with debut record Rockferry
competing with the Monkeys for Best Album and track Mercy competing for Best
Song with The Last Shadow Puppets.
Legendary rockers LED ZEPPELIN also received a nod in the Best Live Act
category after they reformed for a comeback concert in December last year.
The awards will be announced at a ceremony in London on June 16.
