Lionel Richie Tribute Rules GRAMMY Awards with Demi Lovato, Luke Bryan & More
In a night full of star-studded tributes, the GRAMMY Awards’ ode to 2016 MusiCares Person of the Year Lionel Richie was an especially inspired performance. Demi Lovato, John Legend, Luke Bryan and Meghan Trainor combined for the salute to Richie, who has won four GRAMMYs over his illustrious career.
During the performance, Legend opened things up with a full band and a syrupy version of "Easy" seated behind a grand piano. Then Lovato strode onstage and delivered a powerhouse performance of "Hello" as the lights dimmed, attacking the climax with full vigor. Next up was Bryan with a country-fried take on "Penny Lover," and Trainor bounced her way through "You Are" while sporting some red new locks.
