Bowie honoured with 4 awards
David Bowie, who died last year from cancer, won all four awards he was nominated for. He won three in the pre-telecast, and was awarded best rock song for Blackstar during the live show, CNN reports.
Blackstar, his final album released days after he died, also won best alternative music album, rock performance, and engineered album, non-classical (Bowie is listed as one of the engineers on Blackstar.) In the latter category, Bowie was honoured over a list of artists that included Prince, who also died in 2016.
Prince was also the subject of a tribute musical segment during the broadcast, featuring his Minneapolis colleagues The Time, as well as Bruno Mars.
