Brit Awards 2025 updates: Raye amongst nominations for best R&B act as best songwriter goes to Charli XCX

  • Tribute to Liam

    Brit awards will honour Liam Payne with a special tribute at this year’s ceremony.

    Brit bosses have chosen to honour Liam’s life and career with an emotional video montage which will be played out on big screens inside London’s O2 Arena.

    The finer details are still being ironed out but we understand that Jack Whitehall, who is hosting the ceremony, will lead the tribute.

    A music industry source said: “Liam loved the Brit Awards and attended and performed many times over the years, both with 1D and as a solo artist, and will forever be part of the show’s history.

    “This moment will be all about him, and will allow the stars in the room and fans watching at home to take a few minutes to remember how incredible he was.”
