People Are Super Mad The Chainsmokers Accepted David Bowie's Grammy

They never should've been able to hold his Grammy, let alone accept it on his behalf.

The Chainsmokers might already be the most hated band of the moment, but the duo of bros found a way to ignite even more vitriol at the 59th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday.

Presenting the Best Rock Song category with “American Idol” Season 5 runner-up Katharine McPhee, The Chainsmokers ended up accepting the award on David Bowie behalf after his song “Blackstar” won. Bowie released the song shortly before his death in early 2016.

Bowie fans and Chainsmoker haters alike quickly took to Twitter to express their immense displeasure with what occurred onstage. Many couldn’t even believe The Chainsmokers were given the opportunity to touch Bowie’s gramophone trophy to begin with.

Some used sarcasm ...

It’s been a bad few months ...

The Chainsmokers just accepted an award on behalf of David Bowie, if you needed another reason to believe life is a sick joke

Really, why were they even allowed near Bowie’s award?

The Chainsmokers should not be allowed to touch David Bowie's Grammy award #GRAMMYs

The moment was bad enough to drag the whole ceremony down.
