February 2009
On February 18 the Pet Shop Boys are given the Outstanding Achievement Award at the Brit awards, and invited to perform at the close of the ceremony. "I think we're really accepting this award on behalf of pop music, more than anything," says Chris beforehand. "A very underrated form of music."
On this day
1988: After the Boys help pay for an anti-Clause 28 newspaper ad, a spokesman tells the Daily Mirror that 'they support a variety of causes.'
2000: The Boys perform in Berlin.
2005: Neil finishes recording vocals for 'Fugitive.'
2007: The Pet Shop Boys had been nominated for two Grammy Awards—Best Dance/Electronic Album and Best Dance Single—but lose out to Madonna and Justin Timberlake, respectively.
2008: Chris appears as a witness at St. Pancras Coroner's Court in London during the inquest into the death of PSB friend and assistant Dainton Connell in a automobile accident the previous October in Moscow. He testifies how he'd seen Dainton only shortly before the accident at a dinner celebrating his (Chris's) birthday.
2009: Despite the fact that he's suffering from a nasty bout of either food poisoning or stomach flu, Neil is interviewed via telephone for a radio show on various subjects, including the upcoming new album Yes, the Brits Awards, and submitting a song shortly before Christmas to Shirley Bassey, who's in the process of recording a new album of her own.
