A NEW Brit School for young performers is being launched in the North to train the next generation of stars like Adele and Amy Winehouse.
Ministers hope the performing arts academy will allow 500 16 to 19-year-olds to blossom into the superstars of tomorrow.
Alumni from the original Brit School in Croydon, South London, have sold more than 250million albums and racked up 15 Brit awards.
Plans for the new free school in Bradford were submitted by music industry body the BPI.
It will be inspired by BRIT School in Croydon, south London, launched in 1991 with Adele being the most famous former pupil.
