George Michael's memory lived on at the 2017 Brit Awards.

During the annual ceremony Wednesday at the O2 Arena in London, the late musical icon and three-time Brit Award winner was honored in his native country with a special tribute put on by his Wham!

colleagues Andrew Ridgeley, Shirlie Holliman and Helen "Pepsi" DeMacque.

The trio gave a lengthy, tear-filled speech reminiscing about the "truly wonderful time" spent with Michael before introducing Chris Martin to the stage for a tribute performance.

The Coldplay frontman sang "A Different Corner" as the audience swayed their cellphone lights side to side.

Martin then paused as a clip from one of Michael's old interviews played.
