In perhaps the most fitting way to honor O'Connor's legacy, Lennox called for a Gaza ceasefire during her tribute performance of 'Nothing Compares 2 U.”
From Fantasia Barrino’s rousing homage to Tina Turner to Jon Batiste’s tribute to Clarence Avant, the “Godfather of Black Music,” it’s safe to say the In Memorium portion of the Grammy Awards was one of the more moving moments of the evening. But it was during Annie Lennox’s salute to the life and legacy of Sinéad O’Connor, however, that a needful message—one that has yet to be uttered on stage by a single celebrity this award show season—was delivered.
On the Grammy red carpet, boygenius—Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus—also donned Artists4Ceasefire pins, and Esperanza Spaulding wore a keffiyeh. “We urge your administration, Congress, and all world leaders, to honor all of the lives in the Holy Land and call for and facilitate a ceasefire without delay–an end to the bombing of Gaza, and the safe release of hostages,” the letter continues.
