NEW YORK (AP) -- The annual Clive Davis pre-Grammy gala will continue in 2027 following the business titan's death earlier this year, The Recording Academy has announced.
The music industry lost one of its most powerful figures in June, when Davis -- the titan who launched or resurrected the careers of such superstars as Janis Joplin, Whitney Houston, Carlos Santana and Alicia Keys -- died in his Manhattan apartment, weeks after being hospitalized for an upper respiratory issue. He was 94.
Davis is always top of mind in the music business, but especially so during the Grammy Awards season, where his annual pre-Grammy gala, held the Saturday night before the Sunday award show every year since 1975, has widely been considered one of the week's most exclusive and popular events. There, giants across genre and generation come together for unique performances and celebrations.
Additional details about the gala are forthcoming.
