BRIT AWARDS - MIKA STRIKES THE WRONG NOTE

Flamboyant pop star MIKA has reportedly struck his guitarist for making a mistake in the middle of a promotional gig for Fiat.

According to the Mirror, the singer did not take kindly to his colleague fluffing a note while performing on stage at an event to mark the launch of the new Fiat 500.

As the performance of STUCK IN THE MIDDLE came to a sudden stop, Mika said: "Ladies and gents, that's live music for you!"

However, Mika - whose album LIFE IN CARTOON MOTION has spawned a number of hit singles such as GRACE KELLY and LOVE TODAY - supposedly hit the guitarist as they left the stage.

Yet despite the apparent falling out, the newspaper said that the pair "finished with a big hug".

The Lebanese-born star is up for several of this year's BRIT AWARDS, including Best British Male Solo Artist and Best Album.
