Bruno Mars requests to allow his band to perform at Grammys 2021

On March 8, 2021, Bruno Mars shared a tweet in which he urged the management of the Grammys to allow his band Silk Sonic to perform at the award ceremony. The singer wrote "Dear Grammys, If you can see it in your hearts to allow two out of work musicians to perform at your show, we would really appreciate it. We just released a song and could really use the promotion right now. We have a lot riding on this record (and the Pelicans game next week, but that's another story). We haven't been able to perform for a while and we just want to sing. We will send in an audition tape and take as many covid tests as possible.I promise we won't be extra. We just really want a gig again. I hope you'll consider this request and give us the opportunity to shine. Love, Silk Sonic." Take a look at the tweet below.
