Three wins for Adele at non-binary Brit Awards, Ed Sheeran wins songwriter of the year, Dua Lipa gets TikTok vote
- Adele won artist of the year, best album and best song at the awards which have dropped gender specific categories
- Ed Sheeran, Liam Gallagher and Anne Marie performed at the show, with Anne Marie slipping down some steps during her act
British superstar Adele won three awards, including the coveted album of the year, at the Brit awards on Tuesday, during the first ceremony that did away with gender specific categories.
Adele won best album for 30, as well as song of the year for her hit single Easy On Me and artist of the year, no longer female or male, after which she acknowledged the changing times.
“I understand why they changed the name of this award, but I really love being a woman, being a female artist, I do,” she said to applause at the packed O2 arena in London.
“I can’t believe a piano ballad won against so many bangers,” she said after winning song of the year, beating A1 x J1, Central Cee, Glass Animals and KSI.
Last month, Adele apologised to her fans for postponing her Las Vegas residency, just 24 hours before the opening night, blaming Covid-19 and “delivery delays”.
