Lauryn Hill took to the stage tonight at the Grammy Awards for a special tribute to D'Angelo and Roberta Flack.

Lauryn Hill is one of music's biggest legends. Her voice and her songwriting have inspired generations at this point. She has become an icon in her own right, and there is no denying that her music will endure until the end of time.

Whenever she pops out for a performance, fans are going to pay attention. Tonight at the Grammys, everyone was locked in as she performed a medley in tribute to D'Angelo and Roberta Flack. Flack and D'Angelo tragically passed away in 2025, and fans were truly saddened by this. After all, both artists were legendary. D'Angelo's passing was so sudden and so tragic. He had been dealing with health issues, and the public had no idea.

Having said that, Ms Lauryn Hill was very clearly the perfect person to handle this amazing tribute, which can be viewed below. As you will see, there were some special guests here, including the likes of Bilal and Lucky Daye.

Lauryn Hill's Grammys Performance

Every single artist up on stage sounded fantastic. Lauryn Hill's voice is still special. Meanwhile, Bilal and Lucky Daye truly brought it with their stage presence. The entire crowd was loving every single moment of the performance, and when Jon Batiste popped out, it was clear that things were getting emotional.

The performance included songs from D'Angelo, before transitioning into a section tailored to the sounds of Roberta Flack. It was absolutely mesmerizing, and Lauryn Hill's performance was striking. She did not miss a beat, and it was something that was extremely tastefully done.

If you are a fan of D'Angelo or Roberta Flack, you probably enjoyed this performance. If you missed it, you will enjoy the clip(s) in this article. Of course, Wyclef Jean even popped out for a performance of "Killing Me Softly With His Song."

The Grammys have been on fire tonight, and we have loved every second of it. The performances have been great, and we have had a nice and diverse array of winners, which has made the evening that much more special. Album of the Year and Record of the Year are still to come.
