A MARTINEZ, HOST: As we finish this year, let's listen to some of the musicians we lost in 2025. Sam Moore was half the R&B powerhouse Sam & Dave. He sang on smashes such as "Hold On, I'm Comin'," "I Thank You" and this one. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "SOUL MAN") SAM AND DAVE: (Singing) I'm a soul man. I'm a soul man. MICHEL MARTIN, HOST: We also lost the guitarist on that song, Steve Cropper. He defined the sound of Memphis soul with the Stax Records House Band.

Thom Yorke and company enter those hallowed halls on the back of their seminal OK Computer, which turns 29 this year.

From the Versace dress that led to the creation of Google Images to the Swarovski-encrusted jumpsuit that repopularized androgynous menswear on the red carpet, the Grammy Awards show is synonymous with iconic fashion. Bold and daring looks often push the envelope. Music's biggest night returns to Crypto.com Arena on Sunday and will bring with it the edgiest fashion of the season.

Justin Bieber will perform at the 2026 Grammy Awards on Sunday, the Recording Academy confirmed. This marks his first public solo performance since he had to cancel his 2022 concert tour.

One way to honor your 93-year-old host: by calling him a "f- gangster" who'll "slit your throat for a hit record.&quot. That's how Monte Lipman big-upped Clive Davis on Saturday night at the Beverly Hilton, where Davis had convened an invite-only crowd of celebrities and music-industry insiders for his annual night-before-the-Grammys gala.
