Engleska pevačica PJ Harvey osvojila je Mercury nagradu za najbolji britanski album. Za ovu prestižnu nagradu, koju dodeljuju muzički stručnjaci, bilo je nominovano 11 izdanja, a PJ Harvey je nagrađena za njen osmi studijski album "Let England Shake". Ovo je drugi put da je PJ Harvey nagrađena. Isto priznanje dobila je i pre 10 godina, ali nije mogla da prisustvuje dodeli zbog toga što se nalazila u Vašingtonu, baš za vreme napada 11. septembra.
"Drago mi je što sam ovde ovoga puta. Pre 10 godina sam gledala kroz prozor kako Pentagon gori", rekla je ona.
Svi nominovani izvođači nastupili su na ceremoniji, osim Adele koja ima bronhitis.
