Arctic Monkeys crushed by piano

Internet pop sensation the Arctic Monkeys have been crushed to death by a grand piano, shortly after winning the 2006 Mercury Music Prize.

The tragic incident happened as the Sheffield four-piece were leaving the ceremony venue, just hours after accepting the £20,000 cheque for their album Whatever You Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. Onlookers were reported as saying the deadly piano “just seemed to appear from nowhere”.

A member of the mysterious Mercury judging panel, who asked to remain anonymous, was quoted as saying “Mwa-ha-ha-haaaa!”, before disappearing in a puff of black smoke.
