Bruno Mars dedicates Innovator Award to fans

Bruno Mars dedicated his Innovator Award to his fans at the 2017 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

The ’24K Magic’ hitmaker was honoured with the prestigious accolade at the star-studded bash at The Forum in Inglewood, California, on Sunday (03.05.17) and used his speech to thank his fan base for making him a "better songwriter" and his band, who he "couldn’t" have done it "without".

Speaking on stage, he said: "Let me get started with the guys behind me. We’ve come a long way. We used to play in bars not too far from here, in 200-seater rooms.

"Now you see these guys in the Super Bowl. This is my family right here. I love you and couldn’t have done it without you."

On his loyal followers, he added: "Most importantly, I want to thank the fans in the building and the fans at home. You make me want to be a better songwriter and entertainer."

Other big winners on the night included chart-topping electronic duo The Chainsmokers – comprised of Alex Pall and Drew Taggart – who took home three gongs for Best New Artist, Dance Song of the Year for ‘Closer’ featuring Halsey and Best New Pop Artist.

Bruno Mars picked up the Innovator Award and twenty one pilots took home Alternative Rock Song of the Year for ‘Heathens’ and Alternative Rock Artist of the Year.

And, though he couldn’t attend due to being in Paris for Fashion Week, Zayn appeared in a video message with his girlfriend and co-star in his video for ‘Pillow Talk’, Gigi Hadid, to accept the Best Music Video accolade.

In the short clip, the former One Direction star, 24, said: "I’m currently in Paris. Sorry I can’t be there.

"A little birdie told me that I’ve actually won an award, so thank you very much. I’m very honored. To everyone that voted, it means a lot, and my costar’s actually sitting next to me right here, so she’s gonna say hello as well."

And Fifth Harmony vowed to make their fans "proud" with their new music as they picked up the Best Fan Army gong at the 2017 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

The ‘That’s My Girl’ girl group’s fanbase – known as Harmonizers – beat off stiff competition from the likes of Beyonce’s Beyhive, Justin Bieber’s Beliebers and Rihanna’s Navy to take home the prestigious gong.

In their acceptance speech, Ally Brooke, 23 – who is joined by Lauren Jauregui and Normani Kordei and Dinah Jane in the pop band – said: "Thank you so much. Wow. This is truly amazing. Fans, you guys are truly a force to be reckoned with.

"We love you too. Thank you for bringing so much joy and kindness and love to our world. We wouldn’t be the same without you. We thank God for you. This is for you, so thank you so much."

And Dinah, 19, added: "Y’all have been working so hard and we have been working just as hard.

"We are sure to make you all so proud. Y’all stay tuned for new music."

Morgan Spurlock predicts Harry Styles’ departure

One Direction’s filmmaker thinks Harry Styles will be next to leave the group.

Morgan Spurlock – who directed the band’s ‘One Direction: This Is Us’ documentary – believes the quartet will stay together ”for a little while” but has tipped the curly-haired hunk to be the next to follow in Zayn Malik’s footsteps and walk away.

Asked if he thinks they can survive as a group without Zayn, Morgan said: ”Obviously they already have [survived]. I think they’ll stay together for a little while, for a little bit longer and then at some point Harry will leave he’ll be next, and then I think Niall [Horan] and Louis [Tomlinson] and Liam [Payne], I think the three of those guys will become the new Bell Biv DeVoe [a 1990s group formed of the three remaining members of New Edition].”

And Morgan believes Zayn – who quit the group saying he wanted to lead a ”normal” life but is expected to launch a solo career – was the right person to leave first as he thinks he’s the ”most talented” member.

He added to TMZ: ”I think all those guys together were fantastic, they had something special but you can’t fault Zayn for wanting to leave, people have to make their own decisions in life.

”I think Zayn is probably the most talented guy in the group, he’s an incredible singer, all of them are talented singers but to make the decision to want to leave and go off on your own and chase a solo career in the midst of being as successful and as famous as you are, you can’t fault someone for that.”

Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards to wed ‘as soon as possible’

Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards are reportedly planning to get married ”as soon as possible.”

The couple have been rocked by rumors the former One Direction hunk cheated on his fiancée in Thailand two weeks ago but are thought to be putting the allegations behind them and focusing on becoming husband and wife later this year.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: ”When Zayn proposed to Perrie nearly two years ago it was so he could marry her.

”Now though, he wants to make that right and get married as soon as they can plan the day they have been dreaming of.”

The pair have been trying to put on a united front since photographs emerged of Zayn, 22, holding hands with a mystery blonde following a night out in Phuket and were even spotted viewing a £2 million mansion in Welwyn, Hertfordshire recently.

Zayn announced his decision to leave the boyband – who are currently in the middle of their world tour – after the infidelity allegations broke earlier this month as he wants to enjoy being a young adult away from the global fame he was bombarded with.

Despite claiming he wants to live a ”normal” life, the singer is said to be keen to embark on a solo career and is believed to be working on material with producer Naughty Boy.

Speaking about his decision to leave earlier this week, he said: ”I can’t do this any more. But I’ve never felt more in control in my life. I feel like I’m doing what’s right, right by myself and right by the boys. I did try to do something that I wasn’t happy doing for a while, for the sake of maybe other people.”
