Adele gets emotional with big BRIT Awards win

Former Hitchin Boys’ School pupil James Bay won best British Male Solo Artist at the Brit awards last night.

However, she managed to regain her composure to make a joke, quipping: “Not bad for a girl from Tottenham who don’t like flying”.

She thanked her boyfriend and the father of her son, Simon Konecki, saying: “I’m so lucky to have you love me the way you do and to support me”.

She equalled Blur’s BRIT Awards success in 1995 by collecting four prizes.

Tim Peake presented Adele with the BRITs Global Success Award and it got her a bit choked up…

Peake presented he Global Success award, which was given to the singer for her record-breaking album “25”.

While taking home four prizes at the annual Brit Awards Wednesday night, Adele used her platform to offer high-profile support for another pop star – Kesha. Last Friday, a judge denied her motion to be released from her contract with Sony and Kemosabe Records, a production company that is run by Dr. Luke. “That was really wonderful and I’m honestly…”

The Blackstar singer died from cancer unexpectedly in January this year.

“They were in a spot for this show where they needed a guitar player and it was kind of a ‘hey do you fancy doing it?'”

Other awards went to James Bay, for best male, and Australian psych-rock band Tame Impala, who picked up best global group.

Meanwhile, Kesha has posted thanks to her fans on social media, and wrote a powerful letter on Facebook Wednesday, writing, “I just want to say that if you have been abused, please don’t be afraid to speak out”.

Coldplay were named Best British group and dedicated their award to male and female musicians in refugee camps around the world.

Rocking a stunning scarlet gown, Adele barely had time to take her seat between all the times she had to ascend the stage to collect her awards – and of course she accepted them in true Adele fashion! “I thought you were going to set us on fire, though, Justin”.

A tribute to the late, great David Bowie included a speech by Annie Lennox.

Drake and Rihanna perform their song Work at the Brit Awards. “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.
