Which artist literally gave half his Grammy to the person he thought should have won?

The artist who literally broke his Grammy award in half and gave a piece to the person he felt deserved the win is John Mayer. He won Song of the Year at the 2005 Grammy Awards for his song “Daughters,” beating out Alicia Keys’ nominated track, “If I Ain’t Got You.” Mayer told Keys that he agreed her song should have won, and then he famously broke the gramophone trophy in two.

He wrote the name of Keys’ song on the half he gave her, creating what they later joked was “the coolest joint custody agreement in showbiz history.” Keys proudly displayed her half, calling it her “Hammy,” the gold gramophone part. Mayer kept the black stand. They even reunited their shared award briefly onstage at the 2019 Grammy Awards while co-presenting an award.
