Grammys 2022 tonight (April 3), urging the world not to be silent on the country’s plight.Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, with the invasion of the European country ongoing. According to the UN, 1,179 Ukrainian citizens have been killed and 1,860 more injured as of March 29.Zelenskyy sent a pre-taped video message from Kyiv to the annual awards show, calling for the support of those watching as the war continues. “What is more opposite to music?” He began.
“The silence of ruined cities and killed people. Our children draw swooping rockets, not shooting stars. Over 400 children have been injured and 153 children died.
And we’ll never see them drawing. Our parents are happy to wake up in the morning in bomb shelters, but alive.“Our loved one don’t know if we will be together again. The war doesn’t let us choose who survives and who stays in eternal silence.
Our musicians wear body armour instead of tuxedos. They sing to the wounded in hospitals, even those who can’t hear them. But the music will break through anyway.#Ukraine President #Zelensky makes a plea at the #GRAMMYs for us not to be silent; introduces #JohnLegend pic.twitter.com/sIVxgVDMZO— Heidi Steinberg
