Ghost were nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance with Call Me Sunshine, but lost out to Ozzy Osbourne's Dedgradation Rules.
“I’m one lucky motherfucker to have won the Best Rock Album Grammy,” Ozzy said in a post-awards statement. “I was blessed to work with some of the greatest musicians in the world and Andrew Watt as my producer on this album. Winning the ‘Best Metal Performance’ was equally gratifying being that the song featured my longtime friend and Black Sabbath bandmate, Tony Iommi.”
Ozzy had previously won the Best Metal Performance Grammy in 1993 for I Don’t Want To Change the World.
