With Rihanna's unpredictable scheduling of late and Kanye West's out-of-control swearing, here are the top five moments to look out for at tonight's Brit Awards.
:: Adele is likely to clean up.
The 27-year-old is nominated in four categories, including Best Female Solo Artist and British Album Of The Year, as well as the chance to win a fifth with the Global Success Award.
Adele's latest album 25 is at the top of the UK and US charts and has broken records in both countries.
:: The late David Bowie is to be remembered with a special tribute.
Reports suggest this will come in the shape of an all-star line-up to close the show at London’s O2 Arena.
:: Rihanna is set to perform at the ceremony but her appearance has been thrown into doubt after a series of cancellations by the Bajan singer.
Her Anti World Tour was delayed by two weeks due to "production problems" and now two of her UK stadium dates have been cancelled over "logistical reasons".
Rihanna also backed out of the Grammy Awards last week due to a bout of bronchitis.
:: Last year Kanye West swore so much during his performance at the Brit Awards that ITV's bleep machine went into meltdown.
This year, according to reports, it has been made clear to performers by officials that they need to watch their Ps and Qs.
:: #Britssowhite. Soul singer Laura Mvula has revealed she will not be attending the Brits because of "the diversity issue".
The 29-year-old said in an interview black children were growing up feeling they were not acknowledged in society, in media and in mainstream music.
Coverage of the UK music scene's biggest night of the year starts live from the O2 on Sky News from 4pm.
