Last night, the Recording Academy honored the late GRAMMY winner and Lifetime Achievement Award recipient David Bowie with an experiential tribute performed by one of his biggest fans, six-time GRAMMY winner and current nominee Lady Gaga, at the 58th Annual GRAMMY Awards. Affording audiences a chance to experience Bowie's music once again, the tribute was a multisensory testament to the icon's incredible artistry and a reflection of his limitless creativity. Watch the performance below!

"We had already booked Lady Gaga on this year's show, but when David passed - almost in a single moment - we knew we had to change direction," said executive producer of the GRAMMY AWARDS Ken Ehrlich. "We immediately spoke and agreed that she should be the one to honor David. She's perfect for it. So I reached out to Nile and, before long, we were on our way to creating what we believe will not only make a great GRAMMY Moment, but one befitting of David."

The musical director for Lady Gaga's tribute was three-time GRAMMY winner Nile Rodgers, whose own history with Bowie dates back more than 30 years to "Let's Dance," the chart-topping 1983 hit that marked the beginning of a lifelong friendship between the two.

The tribute will mark Lady Gaga's fourth appearance on the GRAMMY AWARDS telecast. She was also nominated for Best Song Written For Visual Media for "Til It Happens To You" with Diane Warren.
