Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, who performed earlier in the night as the duo Silk Sonic, honored Little Richard who died last May at age 87. The pair covered his hits “Long Tall Sally” and “Good Golly Miss Molly”.

Lionel Richie then gave a somber performance of his close friend Kenny Rogers‘ song “Lady”, which Lionel wrote, and “The Gambler”. The country music legend passed away in March at the age of 81.

Brandi Carlile followed with a rendition of John Prine‘s “I Remember Everything.” John died from complications related to COVID-19 in April at the age of 73. She ended her performance with, “We all thank you, John. For everything.”

Brittany Howard and Chris Martin finished the segment with a cover of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” as pictures of Bunny Wailer, Hal Willner, and Jerry Jeff Walker played behind them.

The montage also included Eddie Van Halen, Pop Smoke, Sophie, Charley Pride, Ennio Morricone, among many others.

Here are all the winners from the 2021 Grammys.

John Prine has sadly died.

The acclaimed, Grammy Award-winning Americana singer-songwriter died on Tuesday (April 7) at the age of 73 due to coronavirus, his family confirmed to Billboard.

John‘s family revealed his diagnosis at the end of March, letting fans know that he was in the hospital in critical condition.

He first got his start in the folk scene in the ’70s, and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2019. Fifteen of his albums entered the Billboard 200 chart ever since his self-titled debut in 1971.

His final studio album, 2018′s The Tree of Forgiveness, debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200, marking his best-ever ranking on the chart in his career.

Our thoughts are with John‘s loved ones at this difficult time.

Sadly, we’ve already lost many stars amid the ongoing pandemic.

John Prine‘s wife Fiona is speaking out to give fans an update on his battle with coronavirus.

The 73-year-old singer-songwriter was hospitalized with symptoms of COVID-19 last week and she says that he is “stable,” but not necessarily improving.

Fiona also battled the virus, but has since recovered.

“I have recovered from Covid-19. We are humbled by the outpouring of love for me and John and our precious family. He is [stable]. Please continue to send your amazing Love and prayers. Sing his songs. Stay home and wash hands. John loves you. I love you,” Fiona tweeted on Monday morning (March 30).

Later in the day, she added, “I need to clarify what I mean by ‘John is stable.’ That is not the same as improving. There is no cure for Covid-19. He needs our prayers and love – as do the thousands of others who are critically ill. Stay at home. Wash your hands. We love you.”

Here’s a list of all the celebrities who have been diagnosed with coronavirus.
