Overview
- The Recording Academy confirmed Jan. 28 that Hill will headline the Feb. 1 In Memoriam segment at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.
- The broadcast airs live from Crypto.com Arena on CBS and streams on Paramount+.
- The Academy confirmed D’Angelo’s daughter Imani and his brother Luther will attend the ceremony.
- D’Angelo’s son Michael Archer Jr. said he and his siblings were not initially invited, and the Academy says it has since reached out and invited him personally.
- Hill’s selection reflects her ties to both honorees, including her duet with D’Angelo on “Nothing Even Matters” and the Fugees’ revival of Roberta Flack’s “Killing Me Softly,” with other tributes slated such as a performance for Ozzy Osbourne by Post Malone, Slash, Duff McKagan, Chad Smith, and Andrew Watt.
