The 37th Annual Brit Awards were held last night on February 22, 2017, at The O2 in London. The ceremony was hosted by TV presenters Dermot O’Leary and Emma Willis. Earlier, it was said that singer Michael Bublé was supposed to be hosting the live ceremony but, with his son battling liver cancer, he decided to step back.
Much like the Grammys, the ceremony honoured late singer George Michael with a tribute by Wham! and also much like the Grammys, David Bowie emerged with the most number of awards. Here’s the full list of winners at the Brit Awards.
