During last night's televised episode of the 58th Annual Grammy Awards, pop singer Lady Gaga performed a medley of David Bowie songs in remembrance of the iconic musician. Joining Gaga for the tribute was a full backing band, including Chic member and Bowie producer Nile Rodgers. You can watch their exciting performance above, via The Grammys' YouTube.
The nearly seven minute performance kicks off with a closeup of Gaga's face while singing "Space Oddity." Shortly after, the singer takes the stage in a Ziggy Stardust inspired costume while performing a medley of Bowie classics that included "Changes," "Ziggy Stardust," "Suffragette City," "Rebel Rebel," "Fashion," "Fame," "Under Pressure," "Lets Dance," and "Heroes." The spectacle was enhanced by Intel computer processing, and you can see a short ad for that at the beginning and end of the video.
After the performance, Bowie's son Duncan Jones shared the dictionary definition of the word "Gaga" as a pointed review:
"overexcited or irrational, typically as a result of infatuation or excessive enthusiasm; mentally confused." Damn it! What IS that word!?

David Bowie passed away on January 10, 2016 after an 18-month fight with liver cancer. Shortly before his death, he released a mesmerizing album called Blackstar.
