Chris Martin to perform at Grammys

On Wednesday, the official X handle of Recording Academy, the organiser of Grammy Awards, shared a picture of Chris and stated in the caption, “Chris Martin of @coldplay will join our roster of performers at this year's #GRAMMYs (gramophone emoji).” Other performers at this year's ceremony include Academy Award-nominated Wicked star Cynthia Erivo, John Legend, and Stevie Wonder among others.

In light of the catastrophic wildfires that have swept through Los Angeles, the Recording Academy announced that this year's Grammys will take on a significant new role. The telecast will raise funds to aid Los Angeles wildfire relief efforts and honour the bravery of the first responders who have risked their lives in combating the flames. The Recording Academy had initially considered postponing the event or airing it as a fundraiser, but ultimately decided to proceed with the show as a platform for both celebration and giving back to the community.

The show will still take place with Beyonce leading the nominations with 10 nods. Other artists who have received multiple nominations include Taylor Swift, Charli XCX, Post Malone, Sabrina Carpenter, Kendrick Lamar, and Chappell Roan.
