Tokio Hotel scoop MTV Europe Awards gong - The new Fab Four just love Liverpool

German teen rock sensations Tokio Hotel carried on their incredible year by landing the best live band gong at the MTV Europe Awards in Liverpool last night. Other big winners included comeback queen Britney Spears, who won two awards – 'Best Act' and 'Album of the Year'.

Tokio Hotel scooped their prize in the 'most impressive live band at a festival or on tour’ category, beating off competition from the likes of Metallica and The Cure.

In September, the young German rockers - whose hits include ‘Monsoon’ - were given the 'Best Newcomer Award' at the MTV Video Awards show in Los Angeles. Their winning streak continued at the MTV Latin Awards in Mexico.

“We are so happy, this is so crazy” said singer Bill Kaulitz (19) during his acceptance speech in Liverpool, famous for being the home of the original 'Fab Four' the 'Beatles'. “You guys are the best,” he told his fans.

Tokio Hotel were also nominated for ‘Best Act of all Time’, but lost out to British pop star Rick Astley (42). The whole group - twins (Bill and Tom Kaulitz, Georg Listing and Gustav Schafer - were all present at the awards, despite drummer Gustav recent crashing his car into a tram in Germany.
