And he’s always been there for them,” continued Jones. Michael Loccisano/Getty Bowie – who died after a cancer battle in January 2016 – won the honor for his final album, Blackstar. “This award is for all the kooks and all the people who make the kooks,” said Jones – whose mother is Bowie’s ex-wife, Angie Bowie.
