Noel Gallagher Wins Q Icon Award













Noel Gallagher has won the Q Icon award at the Q Awards 2011, that took place this afternoon.

Speaking before the show, the elder Gallagher brother played down the success of his debut solo album, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, which topped the UK chart on Sunday.

"I've got to say, the football overshadowed everything yesterday," he said, in reference to Manchester City's 6-1 victory over rivals Manchester United.

His acceptance speech was similarly self-effacing: "I've had a lot of awards over the years but this is the most recent".

The awards at London's Grosvenor House Hotel also saw rock legends Queen given the hall of fame award, in a year which marks the band's 40th anniversary.
