Beyoncé had recorded a message for fans

Less than a week after making history at the Grammy Awards, Beyoncé won a further two awards at the Brits.

The music superstar won international awards for best artist and for song of the year - with Break My Soul.

She wasn't in London to pick up the awards in person, but thanked fans in a video message.

"I'd like to say thank you to all of my friends out there in Britain for your continuous support over the years," she said.

Like Beyoncé, they also enjoyed success at the Grammy Awards too - winning best alternative album and best alternative music performance for their song Chaise Longue.
