Rick Witter Celebrated with Gritter in York

In York, England, Rick Witter, the frontman of the Britpop band Shed Seven, has been honored with a gritter named after him, reflecting his significant contributions to music and the band's recent success. The City of York Council announced this tribute following the band's achievement of two number-one albums in the same year, a feat that places them among iconic artists like The Beatles and Taylor Swift. Witter expressed his excitement, calling the honor a 'dream come true' and indicating his desire to participate in the unveiling ceremony. The council also humorously suggested naming a smaller gritter after the band's latest album, Liquid Gold, hinting at the possibility of a full fleet dedicated to Shed Seven. This recognition comes as the band celebrates its 30th anniversary, marked by sell-out performances in York, further solidifying their legacy in the music industry.
