Mumford & Sons In Tears After Meeting Music Biggies At The Grammy Awards Ceremony

British folk rock band Mumford & Sons were in tears not just because they won Grammys, but also due to meeting their idols during the Grammy Awards ceremony.

The Brit band of four members includes lead vocalist Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, Winston Marshall and Ted Dwane. The Grammys gave the band, found in 2007, the Album of the Year for their "Babel" and Best Long Form Music Video for "Big Easy Express."

But the best feeling for them was meeting the artists they admired.

"It felt really weird. We'd been to the Grammys a few times. The physiological experience of sitting there and being shortlisted and calling out someone else's name was rehearsed," said bassist Ted Dwane, Rolling Stone reported.

"But this third time, we won. They called us up. And it was the big one, as well. Really crazy..."

"I remember seeing the Black Keys at a venue twice the size of this dressing room. I was a die-hard fan. It's just so weird being in a category with them. Sitting next to them, these people I've had posters of. I was in tears."

Banjo player, Winston Marshall was delighted to meet the guitarist for Rage Against the Machine, Tom Morello.

"It meant a lot to me. I was a bit too young to see Rage before their hiatus, but I went to every single Audioslave show in London. I went to three in a row once. I f*cking loved that band. I loved Tom Morello."

"To have him liking our music - apparently he'd been to our gigs - for me was just f*cking surreal. We talk to these people, and whether it's f*cking Jack White or Elton John, they're just lovely people who love music as much as you do."
