David Bowie, Emeli Sande among winners at Brit Awards

Britain's music industry saluted chart-topping talent and departed icons at Wednesday's Brit Awards, where nominees included Drake, Beyonce and David Bowie.

 

Bowie, who died in January 2016, was named British male artist of the year and is also nominated in the album of the year category for valedictory release "Blackstar."

 

Bowie's award was accepted by Michael C. Hall, star of "Lazarus," a stage musical based around the late artist's songs.

 

"If David Bowie could be here tonight, he probably wouldn't be here tonight," Hall said of the famously elusive musician. When Bowie won the same award at the Brits in 2014, he sent supermodel Kate Moss, dressed as his character Ziggy Stardust, to collect it for him.
