As musicians and singers arrived at Los Angeles’s Staples Heart Sunday for the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards, one other crowd was gathering to pay tribute to Kobe Bryant.
The surprising death of Los Angeles Lakers legend and his daughter in a helicopter crash occurred simply hours earlier than the televised occasion was set to begin. There have been no survivors of the crash.
Sprinkled all through the ceremony have been tributes to Bryant, in phrases, in tune and, generally, the straightforward show of his jersey.
Lizzo kicked off the awards present saying “That is for Kobe” earlier than singing “Cuz I Love You” and “Reality Hurts.”
Alicia Keys, the host of the occasion, alongside Boys II Males, sang “It is So Onerous to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” in tribute to the basketball star earlier than inserting a highlight on his jersey.
“We’re actually standing right here heartbroken in the home that Kobe Bryant constructed,” she stated.
Outdoors mourners gathered carrying the basketball icon’s jersey and laid flowers and artwork at a makeshift memorial.
