[edit] Trivia
- Gorillaz performed their song "Feel Good Inc." live at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards on February 8th, 2006. They performed as 3D holograms that resembled puppet versions of their cartoon-selves. Midway through their song, Madonna appeared on stage and the song was transitioned into "Hung Up," which she went on to perform.
