Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance

The Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance is a Grammy Award given to musicians who have made very good rock music. It was made in 2012 to combine three other award groups: Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance, Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Rock Instrumental Performance. In 2014, hard rock performances were put into the award group. This is because the Grammy Awards got rid of the Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance award.

Winners

The Foo Fighters were the first band to win the award.
David Bowie won the award for the song "Blackstar" after he died.
