Justin Bieber wins three out of five nominations in MTV Europe Music Awards

Justin Bieber bagged three out of five nominations at the MTV Europe Music Awards. He won awards for the biggest fans, best Canadian act and best song for Sorry. He edged out Lady Gaga. Bieber, whose fans got him the award for the third year in succession, was not present at the ceremony. Neither was Lady Gaga since she is currently on tour in Japan.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 7 November 2016.

Lady Gaga was the night's second biggest winner - she took home best female and best look at Sunday's Rotterdam show.
Justin Bieber lost out to 20-year-old Shawn Memdes for best male but his 2015 track Sorry trumped Adele's Hello to win best song.
In spite of being nominated for three awards, including best female, Adele left empty handed. The biggest surprise was, of course, Beyonce - she lost out in all five categories that she was nominated in.
The ceremony was painted purple as a tribute to Prince, who died in April. In the course of the ceremony host Bebe Rexha revealed that the EMA trophies had also been turned purple in memory of the Purple Rain star.
