Nicknamed 'Queen of the BRITs' by host Mo Gilligan, the London-born singer-songwriter picked up the first award of the night - song of the year - for her chart-topping single 'Easy on Me'.
Chart-topping superstar Adele won the top three prizes at the BRIT Awards on Tuesday, in the first genderless edition of Britain's annual pop music honours.
Nicknamed 'Queen of the BRITs' by host Mo Gilligan, the London-born singer-songwriter picked up the first award of the night - song of the year - for her chart-topping single 'Easy on Me'.
The track was the first to be released from her comeback album "30", a record Adele has said she made to explain her divorce to her young son. It won album of the year.
"I'd like to dedicate this award to my son, and to Simon, to his dad. This album was all of our journey, not just mine," a tearful Adele said, referring to her ex-husband Simon Konecki.
