The 2017 Grammy Awards were dominated by Adele, who scooped five awards including the "big three": best song, best record and album of the year.

The star said she couldn't accept the award for best album because Beyonce's Lemonade had more fizz.

Jay Z watched on from the front row as Adele declared her undying love for his wife. "I adore you and I want you to be my mummy," she joked, as she gestured at the heavily-pregnant star.

CeeLo Green came dressed in a gold robot costume for reasons best known to himself. Do we think he's crazy? Possibly.

After a relatively demure Super Bowl performance, Stefani Germanotta went full Gaga on the red carpet

She later performed on stage with Metallica... or should that be MetalliGa?

Beyonce put on a biblical performance of Love Drought and Sandcastles from her record, which won best urban contemporary album.

Adele brought her tribute to George Michael to a juddering halt after veering wildly off key - but made it up to the star on take two.

Chance the Rapper beat Kanye West and Drake to best rap album. He then took the LA crowd to church with the help of a gospel choir.

David Bowie received five posthumous awards including best alternative album for his final LP, Blackstar.

A Tribe Called Quest protested against "the wall" and what they described as the "muslim ban" during a politically-charged performance of We The People.

Bruno Mars popped on a purple suit and performed a note-perfect Prince tribute.

Only the best diamond-encrusted hip flask would do for Rihanna.
