Piercing Ken Thoughts: As previously mentioned, I didn’t watch the broadcast at all and only culled together the winning names. I was glad to see that Tool one a category and Elton John since I love them both. Big ups to Post Malone who seemed to win about a dozen awards and both Billie Eilish and Khalid did pretty good too. What do you readers think about this rundown and the names of those who took home an award? Did one of your favorites get cheated? I’d love to hear your thoughts about the matter down in the comments section below. See you next time.
