Amy Winehouse has emerged from her latest stint in rehab in victorious fashion, having won five gongs at last night's Grammy Awards. Earlier in the evening, the soul sensation performed at the ceremony via satelite link-up from London - ongoing visa problems meant she was unable to attend the cermony in L.A. Winehouse took home Song Of The Year (Rehab), Record Of The Year (Rehab), Pop Vocal Album, Female Pop Vocal Performance, and Best New Artist.

As everyone knows, there are well over 300 categories to be won at the Grammys, making it one of the longest events in history. Last night's other winners included Kanye West, Bruce Springsteen, Justin Timberlake, The Chemical Brothers, Mark Ronson, The White Stripes, Herbie Hancock and Mary J Blige. And for the first time in seven years, Tina Turner took the stage to perform a duet with Beyonce Knowles. You can see images from the awards by clicking HERE.
