From his X Factor single, a cover of Shontelle's Impossible, to the global smash hit Say You Won't Let Go, the singer has proved he can tug on your heartstrings like a puppy on a postman's trousers.

Bruno Mars has been added to the Brits 2014 line-up. The Locked Out Of Heaven singer will be joined by Rudimental and Bastille on the bill, who will both perform at the ceremony for the first time.
