Rapper and singer Queen Latifah will pay a special tribute to the legendary Quincy Jones at the 97th Academy Awards. Jones, a record producer, composer, arranger, conductor, trumpeter, and bandleader, has received numerous accolades, including 28 Grammy Awards.

Executive producer Raj Kapoor shared the news during a press conference. “One of the most exciting things that we’ve worked on this year is a musical performance that will tribute Quincy Jones,” he said, adding that Queen Latifah will be “a part of the performance,” reported Variety.

Earlier this year, Jones was honoured with a Governor’s Award. “We’ve planned and curated this beautiful moment that we hope will uplift the room, that will celebrate the spirit of Quincy and all of his greatness,” said Kapoor, adding, “It’s a beautiful moment, and we think it will be very celebratory and make everybody feel really good,” as per the outlet.

The Oscars ceremony will also feature a Wicked medley performed by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, along with performances by Blackpink’s Lisa, currently appearing in The White Lotus, as well as Doja Cat and Raye. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that the Los Angeles Master Chorale will make a special appearance at the event.
