Performances included In Memoriam, tributes to Los Angeles

The the awards show would feature "special performances," including the annual In Memoriam segment, a "star-studded salute to the life and legacy" of producer Quincy Jones, who died in 2024, and touching numbers that celebrate "the spirit of the city of Los Angeles." 

The Recording Academy previously announced that the show would be refocused following the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. Officials said the flames destroyed thousands of homes, including those of entertainment industry stars. Some lead-up events were canceled. 

"The 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards will carry a renewed sense of purpose: raising additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect ours," CBS said in a news release. 

Performers participating in those segments include "Wicked" star Cynthia Erivo, who performed during the Jones tribute, Coldplay's Chris Martin, who handled In Memoriam duties, and singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow, who was part of the opening act dedicated to those who lost their homes in the fires.
