This is the 2013 BRIT Award statue designed by North Devon-based artist Damien Hirst
He put his own stamp on the statue, adding the multi-coloured dots which he has used in many of his well-known artworks. His spots have been applied to numerous canvases and even a car over the years.
He follows Dame Vivienne Westwood and Sir Peter Blake in giving the statuette a makeover, and said he had been “honoured” to be asked.
