Adele wins big at 2016 BRIT Awards

However, Adele lost out to One Direction in the fan-voted category British Artist Video Of The Year which they won for “Drag Me Down”.

Adele also said she wanted to “publicly support” American pop star Kesha, who alleges that her former music producer, “Dr. Luke”, raped and emotionally manipulated her. Dr. Luke, whose real name is Lukasz Gottwald, denies the allegations.

“I thought you were going to set us all on fire, Justin”, said Adele.

However, when she came back on stage to receive another award (Yes, she aced four), she stated, “I’m really sorry about swearing earlier and I’m really sorry for the ugly cry face”.

Global Success award, Album of the Year award, British Female Solo award, British Single award.

“I can’t work out if I’m crying because of that video because Tim Peake did it”, the singer wept.

Coldplay were named best British group for a fourth time and dedicated their trophy to all of the musicians in refugee camps around the world. Since its release, “25” has been making the news for all the right reasons and the record-breaking album becomes the 27-year-old’s second “Best Album of the Year” at the Brit Awards. The “When We Were Young” singer is still basking in the success of her latest album 25, readying a world tour, performing on various talk shows and, of course, slaying red carpets everywhere in the process.

Prior to Wednesday’s ceremony, Adele last performed at the BRIT Awards in 2011 with a soulful rendition of “Someone Like You”.

Bieber was named best global male artist and told the audience “this just shows life is a journey” and added “everyone has their ups and downs”.

Before she closed the ceremony with a spine-tingling performance, Adele was presented with the award for British Album and returned to the stage to deliver one of the sweetest tributes of the night.

Speaking about her boyfriend, Simon Konecki: “I am so lucky to have you love me like you do”.

However the Brit Awards organisers admitted that radical action is needed to inject greater diversity into the music industry showcase, which gave awards to Coldplay, James Bay and Justin Bieber but failed to recognise any black artists in its major categories.

Lorde’s musical tribute included Bowie hits such Space Oddity and Starman. I don’t want to sound cheesy, but you’re so incredible.
