The Rolling Stones won Best Live Band and Best Music Film for their documentary Crossfire Hurricane.

Accepting the award on behalf of the band, Wood said: "I feel really grateful after all the hard work that we put in - it's got to be f**king live, baby! We've only waited 50 years for it."

The 65-year-old guitarist also said he was trying to persuade his bandmates to play this year's Glastonbury Festival.

It was not a strong night for One Direction, with the group named worst band and its most popular hearthrob, Harry Styles, branded Villain of the Year - above nominees including David Cameron and dubstep aficionado Skrillex.
