And the celebration has already begun. The much-awaited and anticipated awards are here – Grammy Awards 2025 are here! While everyone is waiting to know who takes home trophy in which category, The Beatles and the Rolling Stones have both won Grammy Awards, and the ceremony gets underway in Los Angeles.
The Beatles were recognized for their best rock performance for ‘Now And Then,’ their “final” song, which was assembled from a demo by the late John Lennon. On the other hand, Rolling Stones got the title of the best rock album for their 2023 comeback, ‘Hackney Diamonds.’
Both the musical bands were given the honor at the Grammys’ “premiere ceremony”, which precedes the main event at 5 pm Los Angeles / 1 am London time.
Meanwhile, other celebrities and artists who got their recognition in the early stages included Sabrina Carpenter, for her best pop solo performance in ‘Espresso’ and British star Charli XCXwho won not one or two but three prizes, including best dance/pop album for ‘Brat.’
The event kicked off with a star-studded performance of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” honoring those affected by the LA Wildfires.
Yolanda Adams and Angelique Kidjo led a powerful, gospel-inspired rendition of the 1960s hit, dedicated to the first responders who bravely put their lives on the line to fight the flames and safeguard those in need.
Speaking on the matter, the Grammys CEO Harvey Mason Jr at the Crypto.com arena shared that the awards would “honour music’s great power to inspire, to heal and to unite”.
“Because of the recent fires that devastated Los Angeles, we’re also going to recognize the resilience of our community and celebrate our first responders and do our very best to lift this city that we love,” he added.
