Charlie Puth played with an unmade bed in the background
In scenes that we’re sure will make his mother’s eyes roll, the singer-songwriter performed See You Again with an unmade bed in the background.
Stevie Wonder paid tribute to Bill Withers
Alongside offering support to everyone stranded at home during the crisis, the pop legend delivered a tribute to singer Bill Withers, who passed away in March aged 81.
“During hardships like this, we have to lean on each other,” said Stevie Wonder. “My friend, the late Bill Withers, has the perfect song about that. And I want us to remember him tonight.”
Keith Urban saw triple
Although unable to perform with his regular band, singer Keith Urban (who is in isolation with wife Nicole Kidman), performed a backing track with some digital trickery: he filmed his song (a version of Higher Love) three times, editing together a trio of Keith Urbans into one performance.
A breathtaking finisher
