Lauryn Hill will take center stage at the 2026 Grammy Awards to honor two musical legends who shaped her artistic journey. The Recording Academy announced Hill will perform during the In Memoriam tribute segment on February 1st, paying respect to D’Angelo and Roberta Flack. The Richmond native pioneered neo-soul alongside Hill during the late 1990s. She collaborated directly with D’Angelo on “Nothing Even Matters” from her 1998 masterpiece The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. D’Angelo released just three albums across two decades, each one critically acclaimed, while Flack’s sophisticated approach to R&B set standards that still influence artists today.
