Upon accepting an award, a jubilant Winehouse accompanied by her mother Janice said: "Thank you to everyone at Island (her record label), my mum and dad. This is for my Blake, my Blake incarcerated, and for London because Camden Town is burning down."

Another big winner on the night was Kanye West who treated the audience to a ‘future-shock’ performance which he dedicated to his late mother Donda, saying: “I know you're really proud of me right now and I know you want me to be the number one artist in the world. And mama, all I'm going to do is keep making you proud.”

The star scooped five awards including the Best Rap Album.

He said upon being handed the prestigious honour:  "It definitely feels good to be home here at the Grammys. You know, we snuck in about four, five years ago, and now we basically made this our new place of residence."
