Bowie won the best male category in 1984 and also went on to receive an “outstanding contribution” award in 1996.
He won British Male Solo Artist in 2014, for which Kate Moss collected the statuette, while also delivering a particularly memorable message from Bowie.
In 2016, following moving spoken word tributes from singer Annie Lennox and actor Gary Oldman, Oldman accepted the BRITs Icon Award on Bowie’s behalf. Lorde then joined David Bowie’s touring band for a beautiful and heartfelt rendition of Life On Mars?
The BRIT Awards 2017 take place at London’s O2 Arena on 22 February and will be broadcast live on ITV.
