Amy Winehouse won Song Of The Year for her hit single 'Rehab' at the MOJO Honours List last night (18.06.07). The singer, who arrived too late to accept the award, reportedly announced she had nothing to say and was going to "get drunk" instead. The 23-year-old, who has already won five prestigious music awards this year, was also nominated for The MOJO Best Album for her LP 'Back to Black'.However, Amy lost out to 'The Good, the Bad and the Queen' - the debut effort by Damon Albarn, Tony Allen, Paul Simonon and Simon Tong who are yet to name their band. Ozzy Osbourne was named MOJO Icon, and took a moment to share his more philosophical side with the audience as he accepted his award. He said: "My life has been an incredible journey. I came from Aston, Birmingham, with all its industry and pollution. The Beatles set a fire in me that is still burning to this day." The Lifetime Achievement Awards went to The Stooges, whose lead singer Iggy Pop is widely hailed as a leader in punk rock history.Fellow legendary rocker Alice Cooper picked up The MOJO Hero Award and Ike Turner was crowned MOJO Legend.
