On This Day, Feb. 2, 2025: The Beatles win a Grammy for ‘Now and Then’

On This Day, Feb. 2, 2025: The Beatles win a Grammy for ‘Now and Then’

On This Day, Feb. 2, 2025…

The Beatles won the Grammy for best rock performance for “Now and Then.” Neither Paul McCartney or Ringo Starr, the two surviving members of the band, were on hand to accept the award.

It was The Beatles’ first Grammy win since 1997, when the group won for The Beatles Anthology and the single “Free As A Bird.” “Now and Then” was also nominated for record of the year, but it lost to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.”

Released in November 2024, “Now and Then,” promoted as The Beatles’ “final song,” featured vocals John Lennon recorded on a demo in the late ’70s. His wife, Yoko Ono, gave the three-song demo to McCartney, Starr and George Harrison in 1994. They then used it to create “Free as a Bird” and “Real Love,” which appeared on The Beatles Anthology project in the mid ’90s.

For “Now and Then,” new technology developed by director Peter Jackson helped extract Lennon’s vocals from the demo’s final track. Paul and Ringo completed the song in 2022 using guitar parts Harrison recorded in 1995.

A new trailer for a Michael Jackson biopic shows the late legend’s transformation from child star to King of Pop.

The trailer begins with scenes of Michael — played by Jaafar Jackson, MJ’s real-life nephew — psyching himself up in the studio, telling himself, “You’re the greatest of all time,” intercut with footage of him headlining a massive stadium concert.

It then flashes back to Colman Domingo as Michael’s father, Joe Jackson, giving his sons — the future Jackson Five — an ultimatum: “Y’all wanna work in a steel mill like me for the rest of your days? Y’all willin’ to fight for it?”

We see Michael as a child dancing and singing with his brothers before emerging as a solo star with Off The Wall. Conflict arises when his domineering father plans an international Jacksons tour, saying he wants to “capitalize on Michael’s success.”

“I love my family, but I just want to do my own thing,” Michael says. “I just have all these ideas in my head. I just gotta get them out.”

The rest of the trailer shows Michael’s rise to global stardom through a montage of iconic moments, including the “Beat It” and “Thriller” music videos and his moonwalk during the Motown 25 TV special. We also see him with Bubbles the chimp and alongside his mother, Katherine Jackson, who tells him, “I knew you were different the moment you were born.”

“I believe that music can change the world — spread love, joy, and peace,” Michael says in a closing voiceover. “That is what I want the world to feel. Magic.”

Michael, directed by Antoine Fuqua and also starring Nia Long and Miles Teller, arrives in theaters April 24.

The biggest night in music took place on Sunday, as the 2026 Grammy Awards were hosted for the sixth time by Trevor Noah at the Crypto.com Arena in LA. This is the last year CBS will air the awards ceremony, as it moves to ABC in 2027.

The Recording Academy spread the love this year, with awards going to many different artists during the ceremony. Lady Gaga won best pop vocal album for Mayhem, while Billie Eilish won song of the year for her track “Wildflower” from the album Hit Me Hard and Soft. She took to the stage with her brother and collaborator FINNEAS, where she said in her acceptance speech, “No one is illegal on stolen land.”

As for performances, Bruno Mars started off the evening with a high-energy performance of his nominated hit song “APT.” with ROSÉ. Later on in the show, he also performed his new smash hit “I Just Might.”

Despite going home empty-handed, Sabrina Carpenter gave an entertaining performance of her nominated song “Manchild.” Dressed as a pilot, she performed on a set that resembled an airport, with a full-size plane and all. She arrived to the stage on a moving luggage carousel and even took to an airport intercom midway through the song, telling the audience, “Hey Grammys, how ya doing? It’s your captain, Sabrina, speaking. If you came here tonight for a little validation, stand up and I want you to put your hands together!”

Olivia Dean lit up the stage to sing her hit “Man I Need” from The Art of Loving, before she won the award for best new artist. All of the other best new artist nominees also gave performances, including KATSEYE, The Marías, Addison Rae, sombr, Leon Thomas, Alex Warren and Lola Young.

The night’s most-nominated artist, he took home best rap album and record of the year for “luther” featuring SZA; best melodic rap performance for “luther”; best rap song for “tv off”; and best rap performance for Clipse’s “Chains & Whips,” marking the duo’s first-ever Grammy win. With these wins, K. Dot now has 27 Grammys, surpassing the previous tie he had with Jay-Z.

Pharrell accepted the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award after a presentation by Q-Tip. He reflected on A Tribe Called Quest‘s influence, praised Dr. Dre, congratulated Clipse and thanked those who believe in the “power of Black music.”

“I never stopped loving this job. I never stopped being a student,” Pharrell said. “Never stop working. … I love what I do and if you do what you love every day you’ll get paid for free.”

Ms. Lauryn Hill took the Grammy stage for the first time since 1999 to honor D’Angelo, opening with the song they never got to perform together, “Nothing Even Matters.” She was joined by Lucky Daye, Raphael Saadiq, Anthony Hamilton, Leon Thomas, Bilal and Jon Batiste. Lauryn also paid tribute to the late Roberta Flack with a performance featuring Jon, Leon Bridges, Lalah Hathaway, October London, John Legend and Chaka Khan, as well as the Fugees rendition of Flack’s song “Killing Me Softly with His Song” alongside Wyclef Jean.

Tyler, The Creator performed “Thought I Was Dead” and “Like Him” from Chromakopia, which won best album cover, along with “Sugar On My Tongue” from Don’t Tap the Glass. Clipse took the stage with Pharrell and Voices of Fire to perform “So Far Ahead.”

The biggest night in music took place on Sunday, as the 2026 Grammy Awards were hosted for the sixth time by Trevor Noah at the Crypto.com Arena in LA. This marked the last year CBS will air the awards ceremony, as it moves to ABC in 2027.

Bad Bunny won the top award of the evening, taking home the album of the year prize for Debí Tirar Más Fotos. Harry Styles presented him with the award after he made history as the first Spanish-language album of the year winner.

“I want to dedicate this award to all the people that had to leave their homeland, their country, to follow their dreams,” he said in his acceptance speech.

Bad Bunny also won the Grammy for best música urbana album. As soon as he took to the stage to accept that award, he said, “ICE OUT. We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we are humans and we are Americans.”

The Debí Tirar Más Fotos musician continued, saying, “The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So please, we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love.”

The Recording Academy spread the love this year, with awards going to many different artists during the ceremony. Lady Gaga won best pop vocal album for Mayhem, while Lola Young pulled off an upset and took home the award for best pop solo performance for her song “Messy.” Young was so shocked that she ran onstage without having prepared a speech, and accidentally cursed on mic as she accepted her award.

Meanwhile, Billie Eilish won song of the year for her track “Wildflower” from the album Hit Me Hard and Soft. She took to the stage with her brother and collaborator FINNEAS, where she said in her acceptance speech, “No one is illegal on stolen land.”

Record of the year went to “luther” by Kendrick Lamar and SZA. Cher presented the award, mistakenly saying that it was won by Luther Vandross. When Lamar took the stage to accept the award, he made sure to thank Vandross. Earlier in the night Lamar also walked away with a win for best rap album for GNX.

As for performances, Bruno Mars started off the evening singing his nominated hit song “APT.” with ROSÉ. Later on in the show, he also performed his new smash hit “I Just Might.”

Despite going home empty-handed, Sabrina Carpenter gave an entertaining performance of her nominated song “Manchild.” Dressed as a pilot, she performed on a set that resembled an airport, with a full-size plane and all. She arrived to the stage on a moving luggage carousel and even took to an airport intercom midway through the song, telling the audience, “Hey Grammys, how ya doing?

Billie Eilish and Lola Young were among the winners at the 2026 Grammys.

Eilish won song of the year for “Wildflower,” and used her speech to criticize U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.

“No one is illegal on stolen land,” Eilish said.

Young took home best pop solo performance for “Messy.”

“I don’t have any speech prepared,” a surprised Young said as she took the stage. “Obviously I don’t, it’s messy, do you know what I mean?”

Young was also nominated for best new artist, and performed “Messy” as part of a medley featuring every one of the best new artist nominees, including sombr and The Marías. The best new artist award ultimately went to Oliva Dean.

The Grammys will air on ABC in 2027.

The late Ozzy Osbourne was celebrated with a musical tribute at the 2026 Grammy Awards Sunday night.

During the in memoriam portion of the evening, Guns N’ Roses members Slash and Duff McKagan, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and producer Andrew Watt teamed up to perform the Black Sabbath classic “War Pigs,” with music star Post Malone handling the vocals.

Many of these artists had a connection to Ozzy, with Guns N’ Roses and Smith playing 2025’s Back to the Beginning concert, which took place two weeks before Ozzy’s death and marked his final live concert.

Watt produced Ozzy’s final two solo albums, 2020’s Ordinary Man and 2022’s Patient Number 9. Slash, McKagan, Smith and Malone also contributed to those albums. Ozzy also performed alongside Malone at the 2019 American Music Awards.

The Ozzy tribute wasn’t Watt’s only Grammy performance. Earlier in the evening he joined Lady Gaga for her performance of “Abracadabra,” which featured former Foo Fighters and current Nine Inch Nails drummer Josh Freese.

The 2026 Grammy Awards took place Sunday at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and aired on CBS. The 2027 Grammy Awards will air on ABC.

Box sets from Joni Mitchell and Bruce Springsteen took home trophies at the 2026 Grammy Awards.

Mitchell was the winner for best historical album for her box set Joni Mitchell Archives – Volume 4: The Asylum Years (1976-1980), her 11th career Grammy win. As for Springsteen, although he did not win an award, the art directors behind his box set Tracks II: The Lost Albums won best recording package.

And while Springsteen was not at the ceremony, he did help the Grammys pay tribute to The Beach Boys‘ Brian Wilson, who passed away in June at age 82.

“Brian Wilson was the kind of shining musical genius who made generations of songwriters so much better. I know this because i’m one of them,” Springsteen said in a voice-over that accompanied a video tribute to Wilson. He added, “Brian, the last of the Wilson brothers, may be gone but he leaves behind so many great songs and good vibrations that will live forever.”

John Mayer voiced a similar tribute to the late Grateful Dead founding member Bob Weir, who died in January at 77. 

“To play music with Bob Weir was to learn from a master. He understood songwriting to its core, having written and performed some of the most enduring music in American history,” Mayer said as photos and video of Weir played on screen. “Bob has left us, but the songs he sang will remain a roadmap for a better, more meaningful life.”

The 2026 Grammy Awards took place Sunday at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and aired on CBS. The 2027 Grammy Awards will air on ABC.
