The Grammy Awards have announced that this year they will be putting on “unforgettable tribute segments” for Prince and George Michael. They did not share which artists will be performing in those particularly tributes, but it was previously shared that John Legend will take part in some of the remembrances.
The President and CEO of The Recording Academy Neil Portnow released a statement about the choice.
“George Michael and Prince were pop icons who showcased rare musical genius and otherworldly charisma. While each possessed a distinct style and sound, they were both adored by audiences worldwide. The passings of two such creative innovators were a huge loss for the creative community; The Recording Academy is humbled to pay homage to their tremendous legacies on the Grammy stage.”
