Kanye West, Drake & Justin Bieber Are Reportedly Skipping the GRAMMYs
The 59th annual Grammy Awards will take place is less than two weeks on Feb. 12 live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA. While many stars are expected to be in attendance, a few notables are reportedly skipping the 2017 award show for various reasons.
According to TMZ, Kanye West, Drake and Justin Bieber won’t be in attendance at next month’s event. The reason for Kanye’s absence is unknown, though the rapper has kept a low-profile from public events after being released from hospital last year.
Drake’s absence is due to his “Boy Meets World” European tour that just kicked off last weekend in Amsterdam, while a source reveals to TMZ that Justin Bieber feels the award show doesn’t reward young successful stars making a mark in music. “He just doesn’t think the Grammys are relevant or representative, especially when it comes to young singers,” the source tells TMZ.
