The late Taylor Hawkins was remembered by artists and the Recording Academy alike at last night's GRAMMYs (April 3), as Billie Eilish paid tribute to the Foo Fighters drummer during her performance, and the band won three awards.

The rock legends had been scheduled to perform on the night, before Taylor's untimely passing meant they cancelled all live plans. However, they nevertheless won all three GRAMMYs that they had been nominated for: Best Rock Performance (for Making A Fire), Best Rock Song (Waiting On A War) and Best Rock Album (Medicine At Midnight).

"The entire music community is still grieving the light we lost last week with Taylor Hawkins’ passing," the Recording Academy tweeted on the night. "We continue to send our love and extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones."

Meanwhile, Billie Eilish was wearing a Taylor Hawkins T-shirt as she sang Happier Than Ever with her brother and creative partner FINNEAS, grabbing the tee and holding it up for all to see at the end of the performance.
