    Thankful for the opportunity to salute her idol on such a big stage, the ‘Party of One’ singer claims that all singer/songwriters ‘wouldn’t even know how to do what we do without him.’

    AceShowbiz – Singer Brandi Carlile will be honouring the legacy of the late John Prine when she performs at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, March 14.
    The “Party of One” star has been busy rehearsing for the upcoming event, and she is thankful for the opportunity to salute her idol on such a big stage after she and her peers were unable to gather in person to pay their final respects to Prine, who died from COVID-19 complications last April (2020).
    “John was the great mentor to all of us,” she told U.S. news show Entertainment Tonight.
    “I think all singer/songwriters that were lucky enough to have proximity to John or get to know John, all feel like they were significantly, individually special to him. And I hope that was the case with me. But the truth is that he just loved us all. And he taught us all how to write songs and he taught us how to laugh at ourselves.”

    “This year it’s been hard to not get out and honour him on stage with our songs and our jokes and our spiritual connection to him, but finally I’m getting to do it. He has meant so much to so many of us. We wouldn’t even know how to do what we do without him.”

    Carlile has not revealed which tune she will be playing on music’s big night, but she added, “Having lost him this [past] year to COVID is especially heartbreaking, but there’s something about this performance for me that’s really cathartic… and I just feel like there’s hope and redemption in the words of [the song I’m performing].”
    Both she and Prine are double nominees at the Grammy Awards – she is up for Best Country Song for “Crowded Table” and Best Song Written for Visual Media for “Carried Me with You” from “Onward”, while Prine’s final recording, “I Remember Everything”, is shortlisted for Best American Roots Performance and Best American Roots Song.

      AceShowbiz – John Prine’s widow is to debut one of her late husband’s final songs as part of an all-star online tribute.
      The Americana icon was working on new music when he contracted COVID-19 in late March and died, and now Fiona Prine reveals she’ll premiere one new song during Thursday’s (June 11) “Picture Show: A Tribute Celebrating John Prine”, which will feature performances from Kacey Musgraves, Brandi Carlile, Billy Bob Thornton, and Bonnie Raitt, among others.
      And she’s planning to drop more unreleased music, telling CBS, “John left me a lot – a lot of memories, music, cars.”
      Planning the online tribute and completing her late husband’s music has been a needed distraction for the widow.
      “It’s been difficult at times,” Fiona says, “but it’s also been a great distraction.”
      The show will begin at 7.30pm ET on https://www.youtube.com/johnprine.
      Carlile will also be among Rosanne Cash’s guests for Thursday’s Live with Carnegie Hall showcase.
      Johnny Cash’s daughter will explore her back catalogue for the “Present Perfect: Songs of Protest and Memory” show, scheduled for 2 pm ET.
      Elvis Costello, Gary Clark Jr., Marc Cohn, Ry Cooder, and Lizz Wright are also set to appear.
      Fans can tune into the show here: https://www.carnegiehall.org/Calendar/2020/06/11/Live-with-Carnegie-Hall-Rosanne-Cash-0200PM.
