Bon Iver Causes Outrage At Grammy Awards

Bon Iver caused upset at last night's Grammy Awards as he beat Nicki Minaj to be named Best New Artist.

The singer, who refused to perform at the ceremony, won two awards Best New Artist and Best Alternative Album.

Bon Iver had been invited to perform but refused, with Justin Vernon telling Billboard: "We wanted to play our music, but we were told that we couldn't play. We had to do a collaboration with someone else..."

"Rock n' roll should not be decided by people that have that job. Rock n' roll should be the f*cking people with guitars around their backs. And their friends. And their managers".

Shortly after the awardsTwitter was quickly filled with disgruntled Skrillex and Nicki Minaj fans who had no idea who Bon Iver was.

“Lol and best new artist...... BonIver.... Who? Lol” tweeted @scottspeed.

“Bon Iver who r u?” tweeted @haileybaldwin. “Who was that guy? Bon Iver?” tweeted @Paige_Duke.

We couldn't think of a better winner than Justin Vernon and co.
