After Oscars, Grammys fails to mention Lata Mangeshkar, Bappi Lahiri: Netizens fume

New Delhi, Apr 04: Netizens have been left largely upset as neither the Oscars nor the Grammys paid tribute to Indian greats, Lata Mangeshkar and Bappi Lahiri.

In the Memoriam section, the Grammys paid tributes to late Broadway composer Stephen Sondheim.

Taylor Hawkins and Tom Parker. But there was no mention of Lata Mangeshkar and Bappi Lahiri.

"How did you miss the iconic and legendary singer #LataMangeshkar, @mangeshkarlata, in the In Memoriam segment this evening?"

#GRAMMYs #LataMangeshkar Grammys just remembered #all musicians who died last year. Missing #LataMangeshkar they missed big

Neither the #Oscars and nor the #Grammys had an image of #LataMangeshkar in their ‘In Memoriam’ section! Sad!

Telling me one of the world’s BIGGEST music icon #LataMangeshkar died this year and couldn’t get mention in the Grammy “in memoriam”? Truly a rubbish show indeed.

#GRAMMYs didnt pay tribute to the greatest singer of Indian history: #LataMangeshkar or #bappilahiri

Fans were baffled with the omission of the two names as the Academy had earlier featured, Irrfan Khan, Bhanu Athaiya, Sushant Singh Rajput and Rishi Kapoor in its In Memoriam section.

Lata Mangeshkar passed away on February 6 while Bappi Lahiri breathed his last on February 15.
