Some of the biggest stars at last night's BRIT Awards did a fitting tribute to the late George Michael.

The tribute was filmed just for us and included Emeli Sande, Ed Sheeran, Charli XCX, Biffy, The 1975 and Wiley all singing (or saying) the words from his 1984 single 'Careless Whisper'.

It starts with Charli XCX reading the first couple of lines,

"I feel so unsure,

As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor"

Ending it with a kiss to camera.

Emeli Sande then continues reading the rest of the verse, with Ed Sheeran singing the chorus from backstage at The BRITs.

Watch the video below:

George's former Wham! bandmates paid an emotional tribute to the late star.

Holding back the tears, Andrew Ridgeley said, "It felt like the sky had fallen in", when news of Michael's death broke on Christmas Day last year.

"A supernova in a firmament of shining stars has been extinguished,"

Backing singers Pepsi and Shirlie also joined Andrew on stage to pay tribute to their late friend.

After their emotional speech, Coldplay's Chris Martin took to the stage to perform a cover of 'A Different Corner', with George appearing on the large screens.
