Whether it's Stormzy getting political or Adele spilling her heart out, you expect to see one-off, historic performances at the BRIT Awards, and tonight's ceremony didn't disappoint.
Years and Years frontman and star of Channel 4's profoundly moving series It's A Sin, Olly Alexander teamed up with music legend Elton John for a spine-tingling performance of the drama's theme song.
They were introduced to the stage by Elton's husband, David Furnish, who spoke about the 1980s AIDs crisis, as depicted in Russell T. Davies' emotional drama, and how treatments have advanced for sufferers.
