The 51st annual Grammys took place last night and missing from them were two singers who were both nominated and set to perform. Couple Chris Brown and Rihanna did not show after the Los Angeles Police Department announced that Brown was the subject of an investigation in a felony charge for domestic violence. Police say a woman called 911 saying that Brown was hurting her. The incident happened around 12:30 a.m on Sunday. Brown turned himself in and was booked on suspicion of making a criminal threat. Brown posted bail and was released late Sunday.
In place of Rihanna's scheduled performance, Justin Timberlake, Al Green, Boys II Men and Keith Urban performed “Let’s Stay Together.”
“Things happen; you have to be nimble,” Neil Portnow, Recording Academy President said, explaining the change in performers.
Other notable performances included Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus who performed Swift’s “Fifteen” and Stevie Wonder's performance with the Jonas Brothers. Alison Krauss and Robert Plant took home five Grammys for their hit album “Raising Sand.”
