Grammys 2017: Adele takes home Best Record but insists Beyonce deserves Best Album award

Adele has taken home the Grammy Awards for Best Record and Best Album.

Accepting her Best Record award for 'Hello' the British artist paid tribute to the 'Formation' singer, as well as to her manager, whom she said she loved "like a father".

Most people believed that Beyonce would scoop the biggest award in music for her concept album, which was consistently named as the best album of the year by fans and critics alike.
