The late visionary British rock star David Bowie was honoured with a posthumous "Icon" award at the BRITs music ceremony in London on Wednesday night, just over a month after his death.

‘Bowie made it okay to be weird’

Bowie was paid an emotional tribute first by British singer Annie Lennox, then by his friend, British actor Gary Oldman, who picked up the award on Bowie's behalf. "The world lost an artist of transcendent talent," Oldman said. "He was the very definition, the living embodiment of that singular word: icon."


David Bowie wanted his ashes to be scattered in Bali

New Zealand singer Lorde, performed Bowie's hit song Life on Mars in tribute to the singer after the award was announced.

If Twitter has anything to say about it, she did a fantastic job.
