It has been confirmed that Stevie Wonder and Janelle Monáe will headline a tribute to the late Quincy Jones at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday. During the tribute performance, they will also be joined by Cynthia Erivo, Herbie Hancock, Lainey Wilson and other yet-to-be-announced artists. Jones passed away on November 3, 2024, at the age of 91.
Executive producer Raj Kapoor said about the performance, “The entire Grammys could have actually been Quincy Jones. The wealth of work, the wealth of genres, the amount of music that he has touched — he really is the dude. We’ve been working on creating something really special. We’ve had so many artists that have wanted to participate. I think it’s going to be one of the definitive performances of the show, [showing] how much love we have for him as a music community.”
