Bruno Mars wins the AMA for Artist of the Year award for 2017 American Music Awards

The who's who of the music world gathered together at Los Angeles' Microsoft Theater on 19 November for the American Music Awards 2017. Hosted by Tracee Ellis Ross, the show witnessed some emotional moments during Selena Gomez's breath-taking performance of her latest song Wolves. It was her first stage performance post her Kidney transplant.

As for the winners, Bruno Mars -- who led the nomination list with 8 nods -- won the Artist of the Year award. However, the singer was unable to attend the event due to his ongoing tour and instead sent a video message to his fans.
