Grammys: Watch Brittany Howard, Chris Martin, Lionel Richie, Brandi Carlile & Silk Sonic Play 2021 ‘In Memoriam’ Segment

As is customary for every Grammys broadcast, several artists participated in the In Memoriam segment during Sunday night’s CBS broadcast of the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, paying homage to some of the biggest musical names lost in the past year (or so).

Tasked with honoring John Prine (who died in April), Brandi Carlile turned in an amazing rendition of “I Remember Everything,” the final song recorded by the country icon that became his very first No. 1 single after his passing:
