Grammys host Trevor Noah introduced the video, which aired ahead of a special musical performance by John Legend.
“The war. What is more opposite to music? The silence of ruined cities and killed people. Our children draw swooping rockets, not shooting stars. Over 400 children have been injured and 153 children died. And we’ll never seem them drawing. Our parents are happy to wake up in the morning. In bomb shelters, but alive. Our loved ones don’t know if we will be together again. The war doesn’t let us choose who survives and who stays in eternal silence,” he said.
He continued, “We defend our freedom. To live. To love. To sound. On our land, we are fighting Russia which brings horrible silence with its bombs. The dead silence. Fill the silence with your music! Fill it today to tell our story. Tell the truth about his war on your social networks, on TV. Support us in any way you can. Any — but not silence. And then peace will come. To all our cities the war is destroying. Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Volnovakha, Mariupol and others. They are legends already.
Ahead of the Sunday night ceremony at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, the Recording Academy announced it had teamed with Global Citizen and the Stand Up For Ukraine campaign for a special segment during the live telecast.
“We are heartbroken by the situation in Ukraine, yet still moved by the resilient spirit on display there every day,” Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said in a statement on Friday. “We hope the segment inspires our worldwide audience to get involved to support these critical humanitarian efforts.”
