The biggest night in the music industry was a bittersweet one this year. Along with its regular triumphs and losses, the evening had a sombre air as details poured in of the accident that killed basketball legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna Bryant. But, the show, as they say, must go on. Grammys 2020 saw tributes to Bryant and rapper Nipsey Hussle, who died in March 2019. Among others, Alicia Keys performed It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday with Boyz II Men.

She was the first artist to win Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year and Best New Artist of the Year all in the same year after Christopher Cross in 1981.
