Taking to the stage to collect his Song of the Year award, he dedicated his award to his parents, who he said had “flown out to the Grammys for the last four years” and “Every year they say… ‘maybe next year.”

He also honoured music legend Stevie Wonder, who presented him with the award for his song-writing.
