David Bowie‘s win tonight for Best Rock Song gives the late legend a clean sweep in this year’s Grammy Awards. “Blackstar,” the title track from his final studio recording, topped Radiohead, Metallica, Twenty One Pilots and Highly Suspect for the trophy.
The album’s title track also claimed an award for Best Rock Performance tonight, getting past Disturbed‘s cover of Simon and Garfunkel‘s “The Sound of Silence,” among others. Blackstar earlier won in three album-focused categories: Best Alternative Album, Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical), and Best Recording Package. Best alternative music album nominees also included former Bowie collaborator Iggy Pop.
