Harry Styles of One Direction was named Villain Of The Year for a second time in succession at last night’s NME Awards, with Austin, Texas.
The pop singer beat Miley Cyrus, David Cameron and Vladimir Putin to the unwanted title. The Worst Band award went to The 1975, who beat Styles’ band One Direction and The Wanted.
A representative for One Direction refused to comment on the accolade when approached by NME.
Winners at last night’s ceremony, which was held at O2 Brixton Academy, included Paul McCartney, Damon Albarn, Lily Allen and Haim. Performances came from The Horrors and Drenge plus Metronomy, who opened the show by performing ‘Love Letters’, from their forthcoming new album of the same name, with MKS.
