The Foo Fighters were initially confirmed to perform at this year’s award show, but have since canceled all of their concerts and performances for the foreseeable future following Hawkins' tragic passing late last month. The band, although absent from the ceremony, took home the awards for Best Rock Album for Medicine At Midnight, Best Rock Performance for "Making A Fire," and Best Rock Song for "Waiting On A War."

Acknowledging the Foo Fighters' cancelation, host Trevor Noah led with a special mention of Hawkins' passing at the beginning of the GRAMMYs In Memoriam performance of the late Stephen Sondheim's "Send In The Clowns," sung by Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, Leslie Odom Jr., and Rachel Zegler.
Also during the 2022 GRAMMYs evening, singer Billie Eilish wore her tribute to Hawkins front and center during her performance of her and her brother FINNEAS' multi-nominated single "Happier Than Ever."
