Moby's heroes rule

Dance star Moby was terrified of meeting PETER GABRIEL at the Q Music Awards yesterday (30OCT06), in case the former Genesis frontman failed to live up to his expectations.

The Porcelain hitmaker presented Gabriel with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the star-studded ceremony in London's Grosvenor Hotel. Before the awards, Moby admitted, "I've only met him a couple of times in passing. "In general, I think it's good not to spend too much time with your heroes because you run the chance your heroes may be disappointing. "I'm sure he isn't. But it's happened to be a few times where there's a musician I just love and then you meet them and they sort of let you down."
