Beck and the living members of Nirvana's tribute to David Bowie is now available online in full. You can watch it below.

Previously we reported that a 30 second fan recording of the mighty Pat Smear, Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl and Beck performing 'The Man Who Sold The World' together had surfaced online, and now you can watch the real thing.

The performance is also a fitting tribute to Kurt Cobain, who covered the song at his legendary MTV Unplugged concert. 

This isn't the first time Beck's covered a Bowie song. Last year he was backed by a full orchestra for an incredible reimagining of 'Sound & Vision'.

Producer Clive Davis' annual party held before the Grammys was held last Saturday night (14 February) and also brought performances from Fetty Wap, Melissa Etheridge, Barry Manilow, Earth Wind & Fire, Chicago and more.

Adam Lambert (who's been touring as the lead singer of Queen for a few years now) teamed up wth Bleachers' Jack Antonoff for another Bowie tribute - this time a cover of 'Let's Dance' at the event.

Meanwhile, during the actal Grammys, Lady Gaga recruited Nile Rodgers for a stunning tribute to Bowie. Dressed as Ziggy Stardust Gaga led through a mighty and sensational medley of classics by The Thin White Duke - featuring 'Space Oddity', 'Heroes', 'Rebel Rebel', 'Fashion', 'Fame' and more.
