Grammys 2022: No tribute to Lata Mangeshkar; Twitter says 'do better'

Lata Mangeshkar, who was also bestowed with the Bharat Ratna for her contributions to the field of music, passed away on February 6 at the age of 92 years

After Oscars 2022 left out the legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar from their homage section, the 64th Annual Grammy Awards also left out the singer out of their In Memoriam section. Earlier, the Academy had paid tributes to Irrfan Khan, Sushant Singh Rajput, Rishi Kapoor and Bhanu Athaiya in its ‘In Memoriam’ section.

This left the fans of the Aye Mere Watan ke Logon singer angry and they took to Twitter to express their disappointment with Grammy and Oscars. A user wrote, “No Lata Mangeshkar in the Grammys In Memoriam. This is such a shame. How do you even miss out on arguably the most prolific singer in the world? Grammys do better!”

Another user noted, “So both the Oscars and the Grammys failed to honour the late great Lata Mangeshkar in their respective memoriam segments? That’s a shame.”

Here’s how Internet reacted

I’m not watching but just read that the #GRAMMYs , like #Oscars , failed to honour Lata Mangeshkar in the “In Memoriam” section. What a glaring omission by these award shows which pretend to care about artists all across the world. She was one of the greatest voices ever.

That was a lovely tribute. However, it stings a bit because I was hoping that they would have included India’s eternal Nightingale, Lata Mangeshkar. She is an absolute legend and a significant part of not only my music experience, but also many others. 😢 #InMemoriam #GRAMMYs

#GRAMMYs didn't pay tribute to the greatest singer of Indian history: #LataMangeshkar or #bappilahiri
— Philosopher (@SpiritualityMe) April 4, 2022

Telling me one of the world’s BIGGEST music icon #LataMangeshkar died this year and couldn’t get mention in the Grammy “in memoriam”? Truly a rubbish show indeed.
