Robert Smith and co picked up the award for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Alternative Music performance.

The Cure have picked up the first GRAMMYs of their career.

The Friday I'm In Love rockers received the gong for best Best Alternative Music Performance for their song Alone, only then to also be awarded the prize for Best Alternative Music Album for Songs Of A Lost World record.

Unfortunately, the band were unable to accept their awards at the star-studded ceremony on Sunday (1st February) as they were attending the funeral of bandmate Perry Bamonte, who sadly died over the festive period at the age of 65.

In a speech from Robert Smith and co, which was read out at the ceremony, the band said: "Simon, Jason, Roger, Reeves and I would like to thank the Grammys for this wonderful award, we are very honoured to receive it.

"We would also like to thank everyone who helped in the creation of our Songs Of A Lost World album, particularly co-producer Paul Corkett, everyone in the Universal Music Group who worked so hard to get our Lost World found, everyone in our mostly indefatigable crew…and most importantly, all of the Cure fans around the world, who came to our Lost World shows and enjoyed our Lost World music. "Without you, none of this would be possible. Thank you!”

Bad Bunny also made history by winning Album Of The Year For his record Debí Tirar Más Fotos. The gong marked the first time an all-Spanish-language album has won the top prize in the 68-year history of the awards.
