Sam Fender's former head of sixth form has shared a kind message ahead of tonight's Brit Awards ceremony where the North Shields star is up for three awards.
The frontman will head to London to hopefully collect a handful of new accolades, while performing live at the O2 Arena on the same night alongside the likes of Liam Gallagher and Anne Marie.
Sam has been nominated for Artist of the Year -pitted against Adele, Dave, Ed Sheeran and Little Simz - and he will be hoping to take home the award for Best Alternative/Rock Act.
