The 55th annual Grammy Awards were held in Los Angeles on Sunday (February 10) and the show was packed with A-list performances.

Justin Timberlake sang and danced with performers dressed in suits and ties in a throwback black and white speakeasy-style set, joined by rapper Jay-Z.

Rihanna performed her song, "Stay," - a more intimate and tame performance than the rest of the jam-packed Grammy lineup.

Elton John joined Ed Sheeran on stage for a performance of "The A Team".

Mumford & Sons performed their global hit "I Will Wait" - the group went on to win the night's biggest honor, Album of the Year for "Babel."

In one of the Grammys' more touching moments, an all-star crew of musicians - including Elton John, Mumford & Sons, the Alabama Shakes' Brittany Howard, Mavis Staples and producer T Bone Burnett - joined forces to pay tribute to musicians lost in the past year and to the teachers and children of Sandy Hook elementary school.
