LAS VEGAS:

The Grammy awards, the highest honours in the music industry, were out at a live ceremony in Las Vegas on Sunday. Multi-genre artist Jon Batiste won album of the year and R&B duo Silk Sonic took two of the top honours at the awards ceremony that featured a surprise appeal for support from wartime President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine.

Batiste, who leads the band on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, landed five awards overall, including the night's biggest prize for We Are, a jazz album inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement.

"I believe this to my core - there is no best musician, best artist, best dancer, best actor. The creative arts are subjective," Batiste said. "I just put my head down and I work on the craft every day." Below is a list of winners in key categories.
