(6/25/03, 4 p.m. ET) -- Simple Plan walked away with the People's Choice Award for favorite Canadian group at the 2003 MuchMusic Video Awards on Sunday (June 22). Fans voting via phone and email selected the band over Sum 41, Our Lady Peace, Swollen Members featuring Nelly Furtado, and Theory Of A Deadman.
Simple Plan members Pierre Bouvier, Jeff Stinco, David Desrosiers, Chuck Comeau, and Sebastian Lefebvre said in a joint statement, "We are truly honored to have won the People's Choice Award for favorite Canadian group. For us this is the most important award because it comes straight from the kids--the kids who never get on the guest list for shows and have to spend their hard-earned money supporting a band they love."
The guys from Simple Plan added, "We want to thank every single person who took the time out of their busy schedule to vote for us. We appreciate it more than words can say. Thank you for coming to our shows, for being so incredibly supportive of our band and for being our friends. See you at the Warped Tour!"
The Montreal-based band are the main stage headliner on the Warped Tour for the entire summer.
