Yesterday, Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak announced that their band, Silk Sonic, was added to the lineup of the 63rd annual Grammy Awards.
On Sunday, Mars took to Twitter and posted a plea to the Academy asking them to consider adding the duo to the list.
The post read: “Dear Grammys, If you can see it in your hearts to allow two out-of-work musicians to perform at your show, we would really appreciate it. We just released a song and could really use the promotion right now. We have a lot riding on this record. We haven’t been able to perform for a while, and we just want to sing. We’ll send in an audition tape and take as many covid tests as we need to. I promise we won’t be extra. We just really want a gig again. I hope you’ll consider this request and give us the opportunity to shine.”
Mars even promised that the duo would follow all safety protocols and even joked that they’d be willing to audition.
Thanks to his appeal, Silk Sonic has been added to the “full performer line-up.”
You can catch Silk Sonic performing at the Grammys live on March 14th.
