Jarvis Cocker's 6 Music 'rant'

Jarvis Cocker seized the opportunity of winning the Rising Star gong at the Sony Radio Academy Awards 2010 to have a "rant" about the proposed closure of 6 Music.

On collecting the award, voted for by the public, from Frankie Sandford of The Saturdays, the 46-year-old former Pulp star joked that at his age "not many things are rising anymore".

Jarvis added: "Since I am an elected majority you will forgive me if I have a little rant. I said that a vote for me was a vote for 6 Music. The show that I do couldn't exist on any other station. I'm allowed to play whatever music I like, interview whoever I like and record jingles in my cellar."
