Adele wins 6 Grammys
Adele emerged as the top winner at Sunday's Grammy Awards, winning six trophies including the prestigious trifecta of record, song and album of the year, according to CBS News.
The British songstress, who also made a triumphant comeback from vocal cord surgery on the Grammy stage, sobbed as she won the night's final award, album of the year, for "21." It was last year's top-selling album with more than six million copies sold and remains lodged at the No. 1 spot on this year's charts.
The celebration of Adele came on a night where the Grammys marked the loss of one of music's great female voices - and one of its most prized talents overall. Whitney Houston died the night before the Grammys, casting a shadow over music's biggest night.
The night's other big winners were Grohl's Foo Fighters, who won five Grammys. Kanye West, who was the night's top nominee with seven, won four awards.
