Adele, Coldplay, The 1975 triumph at BBC Music AwardsDecember 13, 2016 - 14:41 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Adele, Coldplay and The 1975 were among the big winners at the BBC Music Awards, which took place in London on December 12 evening, NME said. The third annual awards were held at London’s ExCel, with the likes of Robbie Williams, Kaiser Chiefs and Craig David performing live. Five awards were given out on the night, with Adele landing two of the biggest gongs in BBC Radio 2 Album of the Year (for her 2015 album ’25’) and Song of the Year (‘Hello’). The 1975 picked up the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge Performance Of The Year for their cover of One Direction ‘What Makes You Beautiful’, while Coldplay won the award for BBC Music British Artist of the Year. Neither Coldplay or Adele were able to make the Awards, but both artists sent in acceptance speeches – Coldplay sent theirs in from a recent performance in Melbourne, while Adele granted Robbie Williams permission to accept her Album of the Year award on her behalf. Adele has now won the most awards in the BBC Music Awards’ short history, having picked up two gongs at last year’s ceremony.
