You gotta admire Americans. Even when the stakes are high, they take risks. Tracy Chapman had not given a concert in 15 years. Hadn’t done live TV in 9 years. Doesn’t do interviews, and half of the Grammies audience were not born when she had her hit song, ‘Fast Car’.
But country singer Luke Combs had done a successful cover of it last year, and Grammys executive producer Raj Kapoor took a punt, managing a delicate negotiation that led to a duet. And everything about it was perfect.

You cannot tell these newscasters from the real McCoy. We’re living in the last generation of human newsreaders.
Neil Diamond stopped doing live performances five years ago due to his Parkinson’s disease.
Couple of weeks ago a musical about his life called A Beautiful Noise opened on Broadway. Of course they invited Neil Diamond to Opening Night, and he attended.
After the show he stood up in the balcony, to the delight of the audience. And, with the backing of the stage show cast and a couple of thousand people in the audience, he sang Sweet Caroline.

As in, the sound your Apple device makes on starting up. This video mixes the sounds of Apple hardware over the past 40 years into a song that won’t make the Top 40. But very on-topic for an Apple industry event opener; it probably brought the house and garage down.
Fantastic stunt to promote live music. Well done Melbs.
