Who WILL be there???
The Grammy's will be a little less exciting this year, with three of our favorites not attending -- Drake, Justin Bieber and Kanye West have all announced they will NOT go to this year's Grammy Awards on February 12.
It seems Justin's and Kanye's absences are protest no-shows, with Kanye having committed last year to not coming this year if Frank Ocean's album Blonde wasn't nominated, which it wasn't. Well, Ocean's record label didn't submit it, so that's why, but Kanye has an excuse not to attend after a difficult 2016 and a strained beginning to 2017 after what seems to have been a nervous breakdown last October and reports of marital strain following the crisis.
Justin is following suit, telling pals he "doesn’t think the Grammys are relevant or representative, especially when it comes to young singers," according to TMZ.
Bieber won his first Grammy Award last year for "Where Are U Now," while Kanye's "Life of Pablo" received eight nods last year.
Drake, meanwhile, has a simple scheduling conflict. He'll be on tour, playing Manchester, England that night. He's received eight nominations this year for his album Views.
It won't be the same without them!
