"You guys make me want to do this forever. I love you so much," the After Hours singer told cheering fans during his acceptance speech. "I just want to say, the After Hours are done, and the dawn is coming."

"I'd like to thank God that I don't have to wear that red suit anymore," he added jokingly.
