Madness have admitted that they're a bit jealous of Sting's Outstanding Contribution Brit Award and are gunning for an award themselves.
Suggs spoke out after performing with Sting recently (we're assuming that he wasn't referring to gatecrashing Sting at the Henley Festival) and the Madness frontman had wondered why Sting had an award and they didn't.
He told The Daily Star, "We did a show with Sting recently and I thought, 'Well, if he's got an Outstanding Contribution...'"
Suggs added, "The Brits are meant to be about achievement. Well, if we haven't already achieved enough to win one, I don't know what else we can do."
The band's latest album, Oui Oui Si Si Ja Ja Da Da, is their tenth studio album since their debut in 1979 with One Step Beyond, and made it into the top ten.

Speaking to BANG Showbiz about the unusual name of the new album, Suggs claimed that it was an attempt to "bring joy" and give out some more positive vibes by saying yes to things, rather than constantly saying no.
He said, "Most of our albums are an affirmation of life - the good things in life. Right now things can seem depressing and morose so we are just saying, 'Yes, yes, yes, yes', rather than, 'No, no, no, no', like everyone else.
"We realise things aren't easy but we hope to bring joy to people's lives."
