Indian tabla legend Zakir Hussain was missing from the ‘In Memoriam’ segment at the 67th Grammy Awards. The omission upset many fans, who took to social media to express their disappointment.
Hussain, a four-time Grammy winner, passed away on December 15 due to a lung disease. He made history as the first Indian musician to win three Grammys in a single year.
The tribute segment at the Grammy Awards honors musicians who passed away in the last year. This year, artists like Liam Payne, Cissy Houston, and Tito Jackson were remembered.
Many users on X questioned why Hussain wasn’t included. Some called it a “big miss” and tagged the Recording Academy in their posts.
Coldplay’s Chris Martin performed during the tribute, alongside Grace Bowers. However, Indian fans couldn’t ignore the absence of Hussain’s mention.
The Recording Academy has not yet responded to the criticism. For now, fans continue to voice their disappointment online.
