In one of his first major awards show appearances since the 2022 Oscars slap, Will Smith took to the Grammys stage to introduce a moving tribute to the late Quincy Jones.

Gettin’ Quincy wit it. Will Smith presented a tribute to the late great Quincy Jones on Sunday at the 2025 Grammys, introducing performances from Stevie Wonder, Cynthia Erivo, Janelle Monáe and Lainey Wilson.

Wonder was accompanied by students from Pasadena Waldorf School in Altadena and Palisades High School, both of which were destroyed in the recent fires.
