So that's it for another year from the BRIT Awards, and 2016's ceremony saw Adele take home four awards, while Coldplay, James Bay and more also won huge prizes. See the full list of winners below.
The highlight of the night was clearly Lorde performing an epic tribute to David Bowie, after moving speeches from Annie Lennos and Gary Oldman, while there were also live performances from Coldplay, The Weeknd, Rihanna, James Bay, Justin Bieber, Little Mix, Adele and more, while Craig David and others then took across London to perform at a variety of after parties.
During Adele's various acceptance speeches, not only did she lend her support to Kesha after her recent battle with Dr Luke over sexual assault, but also caused quite a stir with a blend of tears and swear words - before apologising and dedicating her victories to her husband and child.
Lily Allen congratulated James Bay for winning Best British Male after their Twitter spat, Coldplay picked up Best British Group and Justin Bieber won Best International Male, while Tame Impala were stunned to win Best International Group, Catfish + The Bottlemen were crowned for British Breakthrough Act, and Bjork won Best International Female.
