VIOLA Beach were among the musicians, producers and industry figures who were remembered during The Brit Awards 2017.
The montage, which was broadcast live yesterday, Wednesday, during the annual awards ceremony, mentioned the four-piece band alongside music heroes including Prince, Leonard Cohen, Sir George Martin and George Michael.
The clip was shown more than one year on from their tragic deaths.
Kris Leonard, River Reeves, Jack Dakin, and Tomas Lowe died alongside their band manager Craig Tarry in a crash in Stockholm on the morning of February 13, 2016.
