Which artist literally gave half his Grammy to the person he thought should have won? Explain
John Mayer shocked many in the music industry by breaking his Grammy Award in half after winning it, an almost unheard-of act in the industry. The whereabouts of the other half of his seventh Grammy Award lead to Alicia Keys’ residence. In 2005, both John and Alicia were contenders for Song of the Year. Despite Mayer clinching the Grammy, he felt the honor rightfully belonged to Alicia for her track “If I Ain’t Got You” rather than his own, “Daughters.” Post-event, Mayer split the trophy and presented Alicia with the upper portion, acknowledging her artistry.
