Now we wait. We won't find out about the gala either later tonight or tomorrow.

Can't say I'm surprised Don didn't do the red carpet, but I thought Joe might.

Shun, was Tim interviewed? I somehow missed him.

The last guy that nobody has heard of... how the heck did he get invited to sing HC out of all the people they could ask??

I didn't see Timothy get interviewed. I thought I saw Don, but I don't think that was him.

I found out the guy's name is Juanes.

Why not have someone less well known instead of all the usual predictable suspects? I'm glad they went with someone different.

He has won a couple of Grammy awards.

It's one way of showing the band's influence beyond the US.

[sodascouts]

That makes sense.

I agree. Its nice to see today's popular stars playing tribute to the guys. I just had a feeling they would ask Bob.

Did anybody guess Kings of Leon as a possible performer?

I thought Sheryl would pay tribute to the guys, she's paying tribute to James.

I can't wait to hear Juanes version of HC. He's probably going to tear the house down with his guitar playing and he's probably going to put a latin flavor to it.

I bet James or the Eagles tribute is going to be the last performance of the night. I'm hoping the Eagles will be last.

Who was the female singer with an english accent who wouldn't say which artist she was performing for but it wasn't Mavis Staples?

That was Cynthia Erivo, a Broadway actress who won a Tony for The Color Purple. She may be there to pay tribute to Al Pacino. Or maybe sing Desperado.
