BRITs 2018: Harry Styles Thanks Fans After Winning First Solo BRIT

There's no question that Harry Styles is a superstar. From killing it in One Direction to breaking out on his own, the 'Sweet Creature' singer has dominated the charts and music in general since he rose to fame on the X Factor nearly eight years ago in 2010.

Last night he won 'Video of the Year' at the BRITs for his 'Sign of the Times' music video and immediately thanked his fans.

The star was up against stiff competition from the likes of Little Mix, Ed Sheeran and his former bandmates Liam Payne and ZAYN but still managed to come out on top. Sadly, he couldn't be present at the ceremony so took to Twitter to celebrate the win.

"Thank you to everyone who voted for me at the @BRITs tonight. I appreciate and love you all very much. H" he wrote.

What a lovely man. We wish that all popstars were as wonderful as Harry is. The world would be a much better place.

The BRITs did come under a bit of controversy for the 'Video of the Year' award though. The accolade was fan voted and Little Mix fans were left confused after 'Touch' appeared at the top of the voting leaderboard on the BRITs website but did not win.

Obviously, both 'Touch' and 'Sign of the Times' are worthy winners so we're just glad that the vote wasn't up to us.

Hopefully, the BRITs will address the controversy in the coming days and clear things up for fans and the artists.

Regardless, we're incredibly happy for Harry and can't wait to see more of his videos.

We have no doubt that his next album will feature many other award-worthy visuals.
