Billionaire’s Grammy bash to host stars and live performances
Multibillionaire Len Blavatnik is slated to host his annual Grammy bash Sunday night at Milk Studios in LA.
Snap’s Evan Spiegel and Miranda Kerr will be partying alongside iHeart’s Bob Pittman and John Sykes and top executives from Amazon, Facebook, Apple, BMG and Oculus Rift, our sources say.
This year, the Warner crew will be celebrating the legacy of Prince. Warner has the rights to Prince’s biggest hits, and streaming services will begin making his music available on Monday.
Blavatnik’s Grammy party is known for its live performances. This year, Rita Ora will be exercising her vocal cords for expected guests, including Ed Sheeran, Twenty One Pilots, Katy Perry, Charlie Puth, DNCE, Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid. Remy Martin is sponsoring the festivities.
Warner’s Bruno Mars is rumored to be getting one of the biggest slots on the telecast. But viewers will be on the edge of their seats to see if Adele’s “Hello” defeats Beyonce’s “Formation” for best record, or whether Rihanna and Drake’s “Work” pulls off an upset.
Grammy performers also include “Hamilton” writer and performer Lin-Manuel Miranda, John Legend and Justin Timberlake. Lady Gaga will be doing a head-scratching duet with Metallica. Perry will perform her new single, “Chained to the Rhythm.” The show will be hosted by Mr. Carpool Karaoke himself, James Corden.
