The Gorillaz won Best British Artist and tonight's Brit Awards, and Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn used the acceptance speech as an opportunity to remind his country to work against recent shifts towards isolations, likely referring to Brexit, as host Jack Whitehall pointed out afterwards.

What I want to say is don’t let it become isolated, don’t let us become cut off. We do incredible things in music, we’ve got a real spirit and a real soul. Don’t let politics get in the way of all that shit."
