Madonna literally closed the Brit Awards with a bang. <br /><br /> Known for causing a stir, the global superstar took an appropriately timed, but apparently unplanned, tumble down a set of stairs – seemingly when a dancer attempted to remove her cape during a dance routine.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> The fall came as she was singing the lyrics ‘I let down my guard … I’m going to carry on’ from her single ‘Living For Love’.<br /><br /> Credit where credit’s due: the Queen of Pop picked herself straight back up and continued with her performance. She later released a statement saying she was ‘fine’, but her cape had been too tight to remove.<br /><br /> It was Madonna’s first performance at the Awards in 20 years. It’s as yet unclear if she’ll be gracing that particular stage again anytime soon.<br /><br /> One of the stars of the night<br /><br /> Another star to make a sensation on the night was was four-time Grammy Award winner Sam Smith. He won the Best Breakthrough Artist and the Global Success statues, in recognition of his album sales in the UK.
