2024 GRAMMYs In Memoriam: Stevie Wonder, Lenny Kravitz & More Pay Tribute To Late Icons
A star-studded tribute honored the late leading lights of the music industry. In a heartfelt and exciting segment, Tina Turner was remembered with a spirited cover of “Proud Mary” and while Stevie Wonder did a tender posthumous duet with Tony Bennett.
Oprah Winfrey, Stevie Wonder and more graced the GRAMMYs stage for a star-studded tribute to Tina Turner, Tony Bennett and other stars we lost in 2023.
The In Memoriam segment of the 2024 GRAMMYs began with Wonder honoring the “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” crooner, who passed away in July after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. With Wonder on piano and an ethereal, archival video of Bennett singing, the two created a tearjerker posthumous duet of “For Once in My Life” before transitioning into “The Best is Yet to Come.”
Next, a video memorialized Jimmy Buffett before a visibly emotional Annie Lennox appeared on stage with Wendy and Lisa to remember Sinead O’Connor with a tender cover of the late Irish alt pioneer’s classic single “Nothing Compares 2 U.” “Artists for ceasefire! Peace in the world!” the Eurythmics icon shouted with raised fist at the end of her performance.
