Lady Gaga pays tribute to David Bowie on the red carpet, on the stage, and on her skin

Lady Gaga is slated to do a tribute performance for David Bowie at the Grammy Awards stage, but her commitment to honor him began on the red carpet.

Lady Gaga arrived as a long-haired Ziggy Stardust sans the lightning bolt, which she sported early in her career. Prior to the awards show, on Valentine's Day, she also had a tribute tattoo done.
