Brian May from Queen will present Def Leppard. They will perform “Rock of Ages,” “Photograph” and “Pour Some Sugar on Me.”
All-Star Jam will also perform “All the Young Dudes.”
Why are Janet Jackson and Radiohead not performing any of their music?
Janet Jackson and Radiohead have apparently refused to perform. Janet was reportedly upset with HBO for airing the controversial documentary Leaving Neverland about her brother. She did show up to accept the award though. Radiohead reportedly didn’t care much about the award, and only two band members showed up for the ceremony.
If you miss tonight’s airing of the special, don’t worry. HBO will continue to stream it. Some songs were edited out from the ceremony for the special, likely due to time. The special on HBO will be around three hours long.
