Today, the BRIT Awards paid tribute to David Bowie by presenting him with the Icon Award posthumously. Annie Lennox introduced Gary Oldman, who accepted the award on Bowie's behalf. They then introduced Bowie's former backing band, who performed a medley of his hits. Then Lorde joined them to perform "Life on Mars?" Watch video below.
Lady Gaga also paid tribute to Bowie at this year's Grammys. Revisit that performance here.
