Joni Mitchell, the Weeknd and Alex Cuba were among the Canadian artists to collect early Grammy Awards at a pre-telecast ceremony Sunday hosted by LeVar Burton and livestreamed from Las Vegas.
Mitchell took the stage draped in white and walking slowly with a cane but she bopped along to the live band as she made her way to claim her ninth career Grammy -- best historical album for "Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 1: The Early Years ," a remastered boxed set of her early work.
She shares the honour with fellow compilation producer Patrick Milligan and mastering engineer Bernie Grundman. The Toronto singer, born Abel Tesfaye, was nominated along with West and Lil Baby, despite his boycott of the Grammys for his own work. Justin Bieber had led the Canadian contenders overall with eight nominations, including both record and song of the year for his chart-topping single "Peaches," which he recorded with Toronto's Daniel Caesar.
