Overview
Goth-pop band The Cure have been declared an 'MTV Icon', with 26 years of music making honoured at a tribute concert at Old Billingsgate Market in London.
The invitation-only event in London's old fish market was packed.
Manson, complete with trademark sneer and white face paint, played the role of story-telling uncle, taking the 1,000 strong crowd through a night of music and video flashbacks.
And there were plenty of glowing tributes from musicians and bands who claimed to have been influenced by The Cure's moody tunes.
From Limp Bizkit to Linkin Park, Embrace to Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dizzee Rascal to Metallica and many more.
