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".
