Usher, FKA Twigs and Sheila E. took on the music of Prince — an artist who defied genre — as part of a three-song tribute to the icon at the 2020 Grammys
2020 Grammy AwardsThe performance brought together the Prince collaborators, friends and artists he inspired for a series of bite-sized, electric renditions of some of his major hits. Performing as a singing, dancing and instrumental trio their performance mirrored the legend's bold style and distinctive hybrid sounds, with Usher leading the tribute singing his rendition of "Little Red Corvette.
He then segued into "When Doves Cry," and was joined on stage with FKA Twigs, who made her entrance twirling on a poll in a white-feathered ensemble. The two pivoted into a sultry dance sequence to "Kiss," and as Prince's famous circle appeared in purple in the background, Usher was soon backed by an entire stage of dangers for a brief interlude before FKA returned to his side. All the while Sheila E. lead the backing band on stage on the keyboard.
Sunday night's Grammys tribute marks the first of two special events put on by The Recording Academy this month honoring the artist. The second will take place just two days later with the "Let's Go Crazy: The GRAMMY® Salute to Prince" on Tuesday, Jan. 28. Grammys host Alicia Keys will join Beck, John Legend, Coldplay frontman Christ Martin, H.E.R.
The 62nd annual Grammy Awards were hosted by Alicia Keys and aired live on CBS from 5 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. PT.
