David Bowie has been nominated for two posthumous Brit Awards in this year's big music bash.
The artist is up for best British male and best album, for his final record Blackstar, in the 2017 Brit Awards. US singer Leonard Cohen, who also died last year, is up for best international male artist.
Elsewhere in the Brit Awards nominations list, grime artist Skepta tops the charts with three nominations, for best British male solo artist, British breakthrough act and Album of the Year.
X Factor winners Little Mix have also picked up three nominations: their track ‘Shout Out To My Ex’ is up for best British single, their song ‘Hair’ has a nomination for British Artist Video of the Year, and they're also nominated for best British group of 2017.
Beyoncé and her sister Solange will go head-to-head in the international female solo artist of the year, alongside Rihanna, Sia and Christine and the Queens.
