Justin Bieber has edged out Lady Gaga as the biggest winner at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Rotterdam, taking home three awards on the strength of support from his fans - the "Beliebers".
Bieber, who was nominated in five categories, won for Biggest (Most) Fans, Best Canadian Act, and Best Song for Sorry.
Gaga, who is on tour in Japan, won for Best Female and Best Look.
American funk revivalist Bruno Mars kicked off the show with his first big-stage performance of 24K Magic, the follow-up to his smash 2014 hit Uptown Funk.
Veteran US act Green Day gave the night a political tinge, closing it out with their signature 2004 song American Idiot, calling for people to ignore propaganda and think for themselves.
