Bruno Mars and Silk Sonic Back out of Grammy’s

Oct 14, 2022 | 5:55 AM

After earning four trophies for their hit single “Leave the Door Open” at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards earlier this year, Bruno Mars says Silk Sonic will not be submitting their album for another Grammy consideration.

Mars told Rolling Stone that he and duo partner Anderson .Paak are thankful for the success of An Evening with Silk Sonic and the fact that the show allowed them to perform on their stage. Everything else was just “icing on the cake.”  He said, “We’d be crazy to ask for anything more.”

Silk Sonic appeared at both the 2021 and 2022 Grammys, performing “Leave the Door Open.” During the most recent ceremony, they won record of the year, song of the year, best R&B performance, and best R&B song for “Leave the Door Open.”

SIDE NOTES

  • According to Rolling Stone, “Mars and .Paak’s decision to “bow out” of the Grammys this year takes their critically acclaimed album out of what could likely be a very competitive album of the year category. Beyoncé’s Renaissance, Adele’s 30, Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers and Harry Styles‘ Harry’s House are among the albums predicted to be up for the coveted award.”
