LONDON: Singers Dua Lipa and Stormzy were the biggest winners at this year’s BRIT awards, Britain’s most high-profile pop music awards, taking two trophies each at an event that saw performances from some of music’s biggest acts. In what felt like a symbolic handover between generations, Sheeran’s prize was introduced by a video message from Elton John. US rapper Kendrick Lamar was named best international male artist, with New Zealand singer Lorde taking the female solo artist honours. The event featured performances from the likes of Sheeran, Lipa and Lamar, who rapped on top of a glass cube containing a luxury car that was smashed up by a man wielding a bat. “It does make a difference,” Lipa told Reuters on the red carpet of the protest.
