And for some of the younger Q Award winners to get themselves off to bed at last (if previous years are anything to go by!).

Scroll down for all of our reaction from the red carpet, including M.I.A giving her typically forthright views on the US presidential election, while over in America itself Lil Wayne apologises for his "young, black and rich" comments.

Michael Buble fans don't forget to tune in to BBC One at 20:00 GMT tonight to see the man, quite literally, as you've never seen him before.

Zayn Malik has said having anxiety is seen as being "like a weakness".

The former One Direction singer pulled out of several live performances earlier this year because of what he called "extreme anxiety".

In an interview with ES magazine, external, Zayn said he felt he had to speak out about the condition:

In the same interview, Malik was asked whether he would have signed his record deal with One Direction knowing the pressures of fame.

He added that he was "very ignorant at 17 - blind beyond my years".

After his win at the Q Awards last night Meat Loaf had a busy day today as he was on hand for the launch of Bat Out of Hell - The Musical. 

Created by his writing partner of 42 years Jim Steinman, Meat told the BBC he was hoping he could talk Jim into letting him have a part in the show. 

Meat said he's had to turn down two film roles because of the physical therapy but does have another two films he hopes he can do after his back is sorted. And one of them will be in London.

The musical will have its world premiere at the London Coliseum on 20 June next year after previews at the Manchester Opera House.

Andrew Polec, who has the lead in the musical, is performing songs from the show at the Coliseum at 17:00 GMT today if you happen to be in London. Meatloaf will be watching - that won't be intimidating at all for him!

You can watch the full Facebook chat with Meat and Andrew Polec, alongside our reporter Laura Turner, here, external.

Pixie Geldof has released a video for her new song Woman Go Wild and in it she is singing at a prom. The American high school kind. Not the fancypants Albert Hall gala.

The daughter of Bob Geldof and Paula Yates releases her debut album I'm Yours on Friday.

Not our view, by the way. That's the opinion of former Sex Pistol Glen Matlock.

We bumped into the bassist on the red carpet at the Q Awards and, reflecting on a year in which we have lost the likes of David Bowie and Prince, he said: "They were so good. They provided a bench mark for other new bands.

"I'm a bit too old to go and check out every latest thing at the back of the NME these days but I do think that there's not the same characters. Music's become a lot less characterful."

Midge Ure said that 2016 had been a "devastating year for music", while Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess said that jumping in a van and touring Europe would become a lot more difficult for new British bands after Brexit.

Debbie Harry confessed that she and her new touring buddy Cyndi Lauper, "have some stories to tell".

And finally, Debbie's other good pal and bandmate Chris Stein told us he's a fan of Major Lazer and that we should also check out a band from Atlanta, called Starbenders. So we did

And now so can you - by clicking here, external. Well, if it's good enough for Blondie...

Beautiful, the Carole King musical, is going on a tour of the UK. 

The show, which is currently playing at the Aldwych Theatre in London's West End, will start its jaunt in Bradford next September. 

It's also going to Plymouth, Southampton, Norwich, Southend, Nottingham, Belfast, Cardiff, Birmingham, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Manchester, Glasgow, Milton Keynes, Woking, Sunderland, Bristol, Stoke on Trent, Liverpool and Oxford. 

Further dates and casting will be announced soon.

More on the Eagles of Death Metal now and details of a new documentary about the band have been revealed. 

The HBO film sees the band recount their experiences before and after the terrorist attack at their concert at the Bataclan in Paris that claimed 89 lives. 

It's being directed by Colin Hanks (Fargo actor and son of Tom) who became close to the band seven years ago when he made his first documentary, All Things Must Pass: The Rise and Fall of Tower Records.

Apparently Hanks "felt compelled to document the band and their fans, to try and make something positive from something truly unfathomable".

Eagles of Death Metal: Nos Amis (our friends) will delve into the close relationship between the band and their fans and the relationship between singer Jesse Hughes and EODM's co-founder and childhood friend Josh Homme.

The film also features Bono and The Edge from U2, who invited the band to return to Paris and perform with them shortly after the attack.

It will be screened on HBO in February next year. 

Libertine Carl Barat was out in Camden as well for the Q awards last night.

And he told us of the pride he feels for his song-writing partner Pete Doherty, who will headline the re-opening of Le Bataclan on 16 and 17 November.

The venue is opening its doors again to the public for the first time since 89 people were killed at an Eagles of Death Metal gig almost exactly one year ago.

Pete had been living in the French capital of recent years and Carl said: "He is so exctied.

"It is one of the biggest things for him. He's so proud and so excited, I hope I can be there to support him.

"He asked me to come and play with him actually, but I'm not going to be here. But plans change and I might be here."

So...will you be there or not Carl?

Lady Gaga, external has given a typically understated... ahem... performance of her track Perfect Illusion on a Japanese TV show.

She turned it from a desert-set rocky 80s pop banger to a stripped back piano ballad.

But that didn't mean she stripped back her vocals. By any definition.

Following her performance, which you can watch below, she said: "I used to always be afraid to show certain sides of myself. But with this music, I cannot hide. Because I wrote it from the deepest parts of my soul".

There's a new video out from Charlie Puth for his song Dangerously. 

Charlie sings his heart out in his painting jeans in the promo while dodging arrows and he smashes a mirror. 

It's all pretty intense.

Enjoy!

Some more now from the red carpet at last night's Q awards, where M.I.A was in the house to pick up her gong for Innovation of Sound.

Now, it's well documented that the London/Sri Lankan rapper has had her troubles getting into the US.

The Paper Planes songwriter said this summer that being unable to gain a US Visa was preventing her from getting on a real plane to tour the States and that her September release Aim would be her last with her American record label.

Her Visa was eventually approved in October and the hip-hop artist later shared the proof on Instagram.

Now the Tamil super-star has waded into next week's US presidential election debate, labelling candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton as "basically the same".

She told BBC Music "I'm a pessimist. I don't like having to be at this moment where we have to choose between Hillary and Trump. I don't even like that it's got that far.

"I just wish they'd started this discussion four years ago and got someone else running, like Bernie (Sanders) or a third party that is actually different.

"It is very difficult to see the difference, apart from gender, between them."

That M.I.A US tour should make for an interesting one then, if indeed it ever happens.

It certainly won't be happening anytime soon as she told the press she plans to take a break from touring to allow herself time to "get beat up by life again." Adding that she could fill her time by "starting a taxi company" or "making kettle chips".

Whatever she ends up doing we're sure it won't be dull.

A disappointingly non-pink blazered Bruno Mars did a cover of Adele's All I Ask in Radio 1's Live Lounge on Wednesday

You can now watch his performance below. 

It's the song that Bruno co-wrote with Adele for her album 25 - in an interview last week, he called her a 'diva'. In the nicest possible way... 

If you fancy hearing Bruno sounding a bit more upbeat he also performed 24k Magic. 

He and his band looked like they were having a great time with their red cups in hand.

Rapper Lil Wayne has said sorry after he dismissed the Black Lives Matter campaign in the US during an interview with ABC News' Nightline.

The New Orleans rapper said he does not feel connected to the movement, saying "I'm young, black and rich. If that don't let you know that America understands black lives matter these days...I don't know what it is." 

His comment provoked a pretty strong reaction on social media.

Now, he's told TMZ he became "agitated" after the female reporter asked about his daughters being subjected to misogynist abuse. 

"From there, there was no thought put into her questions and my responses.

"Apologies to anyone who was offended."

Jack Garratt, Bastille, The 1975, James Bay, Muse and U2 were the big winners at last night's Q Awards at the Roundhouse in Camden.

Some of those winners used their acceptance speeches as a chance to attack secondary ticketing websites.

Which was kind of awkward as the whole event was sponsored by Stubhub.

Bastille's Good Grief was selected as the Best Track of the year, while BBC's Sound of 2016 Jack was named Breakthrough Act. See, we told you he was alright!

He told us though last night that he sees himself as a mere flag-bearer for new acts, rather than a winner.

"It's an amazing feeling being respected and appreciated by your peers and an award like this being voted for by the public adds a notch of sentiment to it.

"But it's more important that it symbolises that there is new music out there and it does need to be listened to, equally as importantly as the music that already exists. I'm just lucky enough to be holding the thing!"
