The Black Eyed Peas were left shamefaced at an awards ceremony in France on Saturday night, after their prize for Best International Group was snatched back due to error.
The group opened the night at the NRJ Awards in Cannes, France with a performance of “I Gotta Feeling,” and later picked up the Best International Song trophy for the hit track. But the band’s celebrations came to an end when they were also crowned Best International Group by mistake — the prize went to German rockers Tokio Hotel instead.
The Black Eyed Peas are nominated at next month’s 2010 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.
