Todd Kerns (Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators, Bruce Kulick, Toque) has released a cover of David Bowie's "Blackstar".
"Blackstar" is the title track to David Bowie's 26th and final studio album. It was released worldwide on January 8, 2016, coinciding with Bowie's 69th birthday. Two days after its release, Bowie died of liver cancer; his illness had not previously been revealed to the public.
At the 59th Annual Grammy Awards, the album won awards for Best Alternative Music Album, Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical and Best Recording Package, with the title track winning for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song. The album was also awarded the British Album of the Year at the 2017 Brit Awards.
