Coldplay won the Grammy for Song Of The Year for 'Viva La Vida' at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles tonight (February 8).

Coldplay beat off competition from:

Estelle feat. Kanye West - 'American Boy'
Adele - 'Chasing Pavements'
Jason Mraz - 'I'm Yours'
Sara Bareilles - 'Love Song'

Coldplay also took home the award for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals for 'Viva La Vida'.

Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant was the big winner at the Grammys, taking home five prizes for his collaboration with bluegrass singer Alison Krauss.

The duo took the showpiece album of the year prize for Raising Sand along with record of the year for their single Please Read The Letter.

Plant led an array of British winners at the Los Angeles ceremony.

Coldplay, Adele, Duffy, Radiohead and Peter Gabriel were among other UK stars to see success in Los Angeles.

Plant and Krauss also won best contemporary folk/Americana album, best country collaboration with vocals and best pop collaboration with vocals.

"I'd like to say I'm bewildered," Plant told the audience.

"In the old days we would have called this selling out. But it's a good way to spend a Sunday."

Plant, 60, scotched rumours of a Led Zeppelin reunion last year to tour with Krauss, who at 37, now has 26 Grammys to her name.

"It's been a wonderful time," Krauss said as she collected the album of the year award.

Depressing reading. The music industry really is dead isn't it? When was the last time a new artist appeared that genuinely excited you, and then lived up to the initial promnise?
