The Recording Academy paid tribute to a host of late greats in its annual In Memoriam segment at tonight’s Grammy Awards.
Stevie Wonder opened with For Once In My Life and also covered Tony Bennett's The Best Is Yet To Come.
Annie Lennox did an incredible cover of Sinéad O’Connor’s Nothing Compares 2 U, ending by calling for a ceasefire which was perhaps the most meaningful and honest way to honor Sinéad ’s memory.
