See all the winners from this year's BRITs

All the winners have been announced for this year’s BRIT Awards.

David Bowie posthumously won Best British Album for ‘Blackstar’, with the award presented by Noel Gallagher. Accepting the award, Bowie’s son Duncan Jones said: “I lost my dad last year but I also became a dad. He always supported people who are a little bit strange or different. This award is for all the kooks and those who make the kooks.”

Bowie was also posthumously named Best British Male Solo Artist, beating Craig David, Skepta, Kano and Michael Kiwanuka. “If David Bowie could be here tonight, he probably wouldn’t be here tonight,” said Lazarus actor Michael C Hall, who accepted the award on Bowie’s behalf.

We’ve been a band since we were 13, for 14 years now. The only thing we tried to do with our album was to get to that place… And I just want to say… if you have a platform, don’t [stay in your lane].”
