Earlier today (21st October), the 2013 Q Awards took place in London. With gongs for the likes of Biffy Clyro, Pet Shop Boys, Foals, Vampire Weekend, Ellie Goulding and Robbie Williams, the notable absence of a win for David Bowie surprised many.
Bowie, whose 25th studio album The Next Day was released earlier this year, was nominated for six categories, including best solo artist and best act in the world.
