Highlights: Undoubtedly one of the biggest moments on the night will be the Brit Awards tribute to David Bowie. Kate Moss is reportedly set to take part in the segment honouring the glam rock icon, following his death on 10 January. Details are being kept under wraps, but Brits chairman Max Lousada has said it will be "respectful and understated".Who has the most nominations? Adele looks set to storm the awards. The Hello singer has four nominations, and is expected to lift the top prize, album of the year. She is also in the running for best British female artist, with bookmakers predicting she will take home both trophies. James Bay and Years & Years also have four nods a piece, followed by Calvin Harris and Jess Glynn with three.
Coldplay could make Brits history this year
Coldplay, meanwhile, could make Brits history if they win either of their categories – best album or best group. One win would give them a career total of nine Brits, making them the event's most successful band ever (Robbie Williams is the all-time champion, with an incredible 17 trophies to his name).
