LOS ANGELES: Chris Rock sat next to Caitlyn Jenner, Gwen Stefani curled up with Blake Shelton and Jamie Foxx was front row recording Earth, Wind & Fire jam onstage at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy gala.
The white-hot event, held Sunday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, also featured Hollywood’s A-list, from Michael Keaton to Sylvester Stallone to Jane Fonda, as well as iconic musicians like Herbie Hancock, Carly Simon and Barry Manilow.
Members of Earth, Wind & Fire had the night’s most memorable moment when they honored bandmate Maurice White, who died on Feb. 4.
“Right now we’d like to pay tribute to the visionary who we lost last week, the man with whom none of this would be possible, Mr. Maurice White,” Philip Bailey said onstage.
The band went on to perform well-known hits like “September” and “Shining Star” that won over the star-studded audience. Simon, too, had similar energy with the crowd when she sang “You’re So Vain.”
