The Grammys went a step ahead this year to honour musicians who passed away over the last year. Apart from the usual display of names and photos of the artistes, which is the annual feature, this year the honour also included performances of songs by four musicians -- Little Richard, Kenny Rogers, John Prine and Gerry Marsden -- who died in the past year.

Bruno Mars and Anderson. Paak (or Silk Sonic) performed "Long tall Sally" and "Good golly, Miss Molly", two of the biggest hits of Little Richard, as a tribute to the rock 'n' roll pioneer, who died of bone cancer in May.
