Tommy added: “Brooke Boney and I are the perfect Yin and Yang. She is professional, articulate and extremely hardworking, so I guess I will just do the other bits. I absolutely love Australian music but I am also tone deaf, so this is the closest I will ever get to an ARIA and I can’t wait.”
You can watch the ARIA Awards live from 5.00pm AEDT, on Stan. The live stream will be followed by a special presentation on Channel 9 from 7.30pm with performances and moments also available on the @ARIA.official YouTube channel.
