As the 60th Annual Grammy Awards happen live at the other side of the world at the Madison Square Garden in New York City, here’s a live update of the name of the winners of the most coveted trophy in the world of music globally, as reported by the New York Times. Bruno Mars emerged as the biggest winner of this year’s Grammys, winning the top three honours — Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year for his album 24K Magic. The song ‘That What I Like’ bagged the Song of the Year; Mars dedicated the award to his fellow songwriters Christopher Brody Brown, James Fauntleroy, Philip Lawrence, Ray Charles McCullough II, Jeremy Reeves, Ray Romulus and Jonathan Yip.

Quite expected, last year’s anthem ‘Shape of You’ from the album ‘÷’ (Divide) won the popular English singer-cum-songwriter Ed Sheeran two Grammys this year — Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Pop Vocal Album — but he skipped the awards gala night this time.
