Despite being unable to attend the event because of their tour schedule, lead-singer Matty Healy sent a thank you message straight to the show from the mosh pit at his gig:

The winning album; 'I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it' was praised widely and went to the top of the charts in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the United States.

Written entirely by the band - consisting of Healy, Adam Hann, George Daniel and Ross MacDonald - critics praised the reflective, self-depreciative lyrics and the record's ambition.
