Earlier this week, it was announced that the 2022 BRIT Awards wouldn’t feature gender-based categories in an effort to celebrate “artists solely for their music and work”.
Shortly after the announcement was made, Queen member Brian May criticised the award show for its inclusive change. During his appearance at ITV’S Palooza event, May told The Mirror that the decision could have “long-term consequences.” “It’s a decision that has been made without enough thought.
A lot of things work quite well and can be left alone,” he said. “I get so sick of people trying to change things without thinking of the long-term consequences.
