The annual In Memoriam segment paid tribute to artists like Roberta Flack, D'Angelo and Ozzy Osbourne. From heavy punk numbers to jazzy R&B ballads and solemn country-infused performances, the academy celebrated those who have shaped music, whether it's on the artistry end or the business end of things. It started off with a candlelit tribute from McEntire, Brandy Clark and Lukas Nelson.

It's once again Music's Biggest Night, where heavy hitters vie for the most esteemed qualifiers to stick onto album packaging. There's a lot for five-time host Trevor Noah to get into after this weekend in Los Angeles saw huge "ICE Out" demonstrations and an arrest for Don Lemon on specious terror charges just hours after he attended a concert from the Best New Artist-nominated girl group KATSEYE.

"With 'Artist In Residence,' Ms. Hill continues to push the boundaries of live performance, bringing her distinctive sound and uncompromising artistry to the stage with renewed force," reads a press statement. "The tour stands as a continuation of her evolution, an intimate and immersive experience that connects audiences across Canada through the unmistakable presence of one of music's most enduring voices."
