The 64th annual Grammy Awards were held in Las Vegas last night.
Unlike the Oscars last week, there wasn’t any slaps to the face but slaps to the heart.. as tributes to continue for late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.
Billie Eilish led the way performing with a moving tribute. She performed a track from her album “Happier Than Ever” with a shirt featuring a picture of Hawkins.
The Foo Fighters won three Grammys in the rock categories, but were not in attendance to accept the awards.
