BRIT Awards 2016: Adele dominates with four wins, supports Kesha
Adele dominated the BRIT Awards 2016 with four solid wins, including the much-fancied ‘album of the your’.
British singer Adele stole the show at the 2016 BRIT Awards on Wednesday in London, winning four awards, including the most-coveted ‘album of the year’. The 27-year-old singer took home British Female Solo Artist, British Single for Hello, British Album of the Year for 25 and Global Success Award on Wednesday, reports aceshowbiz.com.
“I bet you’re all f**king bored of me,” Adele said in between sniffles after accepting her third award. She equalled Blur’s BRIT Awards success in 1995 by collecting four prizes.
“To come back after so long away and be so warmly received means so much. And to all the other girls that are nominated, Thank you for letting me be in your company. You’re all incredible, you’re all amazing and it’s a privilege to be alongside you,” she added.

The Hello singer also used her acceptance award to show her support for Kesha who is in the middle of a legal war against her longtime producer Dr Luke.
After thanking her label and management, Adele said during her Best Female victory speech: “I’d also like to take this moment to publicly support Kesha.”
