Singer Billie Eilish wore her tribute front and center during her performance of her and her brother FINNEAS' multi-nominated single "Happier Than Ever."

Billie Eilish emerged somberly from a bedroom set built to resemble the official music video, and likely the space where she and brother FINNEAS famously create their moody and brooding musical soundscapes wearing a black tee featuring the late drummer, and his name emblazoned boldly on the back.

FINNEAS was among the first to react to the tragic news of Hawkins' death in Colombia on March 25 while on tour with the Foo Fighters, calling him "an incredible talent, who didn’t also need to be so kind and generous and cool but was all those things too anyway."
