An array of classic rockers were among the early winners at the 64th annual Grammy Awards during a pre-telecast ceremony – dubbed the “Premiere Ceremony” – which took place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Foo Fighters won the biggest rock awards, beating out the likes of AC/DC and Wolfgang Van Halen in the process.
Joni Mitchell took home the honors for Best Historical Album for Joni Mitchell Archives – Vol.1: The Early Years (1963-1967). The legendary singer-songwriter – who was also honored as the MusiCares Person of the Year – was in attendance to accept her award, and received a standing ovation as she took the stage.
Elsewhere in the Premiere Ceremony, Police drummer Stewart Copeland won the fifth Grammy of his career, taking home Best New Age Album for Divine Tides, his collaborative effort with Indian composer Ricky Kej.
