Grace Jones named a Q Idol

Hard-hitting diva Grace Jones was named Q Idol today at the 2008 Q Awards with Russian Standard Vodka.

The Jamaican-born star – now 60 – was a successful model and turned her theatrical training to movies before finding success in music during the disco era. But it was the series of darker, dubby recordings she made in the early 1980s for which she is most celebrated, including Private Life and Pull Up To The Bumper.

The star – also noted for her striking image – also found notoriety after hitting chat show host Russell Harty during an interview and appearing as a villain in James Bond film A View To A Kill.

Collecting her honour, Jones said: "“I know I haven’t done any music for a long time, and coming through the line of press people were saying 'Grace, you've come back'. Only Lazarus came back. He was dead, I’m not dead. I’ve been on holiday underground!"

“This is a great honour,” the singer added.


Last year’s Q Idol winner was Kylie Minogue
