If there ever were a doubt that this was Adele's year, the 2012 Grammys put any speculation to rest! The British songstress swept the awards, winning a staggering six golden gramophones. During her numerous acceptance speeches, the singer made sure to thank her fans, radio station support and most importantly her mum, who sadly couldn't join Adele on her big night.
The other big winners of the night were the Foo Fighters -- who won four awards, including Best Rock Song and Rock Album. Shocking many in the Best New Artist category was Wisconsin native Bon Iver, who upset the likes of Nicki Minaj and the Band Perry.
The night of celebration had a decidedly more somber tone this year as the music industry mourned the sudden death of Whitney Houston yesterday (Feb. 11). Jennifer Hudson's moving rendition of Houston's hit 'I Will Always Love You' barely left a dry eye in the house. Other musical icons such as 'Soul Train's Don Cornelius and Etta James were also remembered at the event.
