David Bowie wins best British Male Solo Artist at the BRIT Awards.
The award was accepted by actor Michael C Hall - who starred in the Bowie-soundtracked musical Lazarus.
"If David Bowie could be here tonight, he probably wouldn't be here tonight," he joked with a straight face.
"I'm honoured to stand here before you and acknowledge the potency of his work and acknowledge his kindness and generosity and enthusiasm which inspires me to be better man," he continued.
A worthy winner, most would agree.
"It's a fitting tribute to a British icon - especially after the Grammys relegated Bowie to the rock categories last week. The award surely recognises his legacy and influence as much as it does his progressive, stunning final album, Blackstar: A record who's fearless confrontation of its author's mortality floored his fans."

British album of the year
David Bowie's Blackstar.
Possibly the most coveted of the night and presented by none other than Noel Gallagher.
The second posthumous award for the late singer.
It was accepted by his son, director Duncan Jones.
"I lost my dad last year but I also became a dad and spent a lot of time trying to get over the shock and wanted to know what my son would want to know about his granddad. He was always supporting people who were a little bit weird, a bit strange and was always there for them. This for all the kooks and the people who make the kooks. Thank you."
