Bowie, Adele, Beyonce lead Grammy nominations
Adele and Beyonce will compete for the three top awards at the 2017 Grammys, where David Bowie has earned a string of nominations for his last album Blackstar.
Bowie, who died of cancer in January at the age of 69, is up for four gongs at music's biggest awards show including best rock performance, rock song and alternative music album.
Adele received five nominations, with 25 up for album of the year and her smash-hit single Hello nominated for both record and song of the year.
She will compete for the three main awards with Beyonce, who earned the most nominations with nine, following her celebrated visual album Lemonade.
Drake, Rihanna and Kanye West each have eight nominations.
Radiohead's A Moon Shaped Pool is up for best alternative music album, while the band's single Burn The Witch will compete with Bowie's Blackstar - from his album of the same name - for best rock song.
Beyonce, a 20-time Grammy winner, is the first artist to earn nods in the pop, rock, R&B and rap categories in the same year, while her 62 nominations over her career make her the most-nominated woman in Grammy history.
