Adele Dominates Brit Awards 2016

One Direction also won British artist video of the year for their single, “Drag Me Down“.

It was her third big win at the ceremony being held at London’s O2 Arena, having already scooped British female solo artist and her song Hello named Best British single. The megastar also took to the stage for a stirring rendition of her track When We Were Young to close the event, RTE Ten Entertainment reported. “Thank you is not enough but it is all I have. I’m very honoured, thank you”.

Major Tim Peake made a surprise appearance at the Brit Awards from space via video to present the award for global success to Adele.

The singer opened her set with ANTI album track “Consideration” before Drake joined her onstage for some bumping and grinding to “Work”.

Kesha’s name has been in the news in recent weeks because of her court battle with music producer Dr. Luke, who she says drugged and sexually abused her and who would not release her from her contractual duties with his company. The pop star performed hits Love Yourself and Sorry among a stage of flames. James Bay won British Male Solo Artist and catfish and the Bottlemen the British Breakthrough Act.

One Direction fans react to only half the band being there Just Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson showed up to accept their Best British Video Award, and the internet responded perfectly… Thank you for giving me our son.

After the incident, the night was ruined for the 21-year-old singer and he abruptly exited the club. “David, you were mortal”, he said. “The legend of his extraordinary sound shall be revered for as long as the Earth shall spin”.

Bowie’s touring band performed a medley of his songs, while Lorde received a standing ovation for a cover of “Life on Mars”, which she sang wearing what looked like a Bowie-inspired white dress shirt and black vest. “There are great fans up there”, said the British astronaut Tim Peake to the singer, in a recorded message from the ISS at the time to give him the prize of honor. I can share with you that David faced his illness with enormous courage, dignity, grace and customary humour.

Joking about the 2012 awards when her speech was cut short, Adele joked: “I didn’t get cut off and I didn’t swear”. When he wrote to tell me he had cancer, he added, “the good news is I have my cheekbones back.”. A million times over and forever thank you.
