From BRITS and Jack Corden
"We regret this happened and we send our deepest apologies to Adele that her big moment was cut short this evening due to the live show over-running," said a statement from Brit Awards organizers. "We don't want this to undermine her incredible achievement in winning our night's biggest award. It tops off what's been an incredible year for her," the statement went on to say.
U.K. television station ITV, who broadcast the event live, has also apologized to the London-born singer with a spokesperson stating: "The Brits is a live event. Unfortunately the programme was overrunning and we had to move on. We would like to apologize to Adele for the interruption."
Corden also weighed into the controversy, saying that he felt bad "about having to cut Adele off" and "I don't understand why I was made to."
"I was having the best night of my life and then I was told to cut her off," Corden said in a post-show interview broadcast on ITV sister channel ITV2. "She's the biggest star in the world and I love her. I don't understand what happened. I'm really upset," he went on to say.
