The 1996 MTV Europe Music Awards ceremony was hosted by former Take That member Robbie Williams and held at Alexandra Palace in London, United Kingdom on 14 November 1996.
One special note was that MTV executives notified the band Metallica that expletives were prohibited during their live TV performance. The band was upset by this so the band disregarded performing their scheduled single "King Nothing" and played the non-TV friendly songs "Last Caress" and "So What?". The result was the performance and any references to Metallica during the ceremony have been removed from future broadcasts of the ceremony.
