The
58th
annual
Grammys
2016
was
filled
with
spectacular
performances
by
the
biggest
faces
in
the
music
industry.
But,
it
lacked
two
artists.
Rihanna
canceled
Grammys
2016
an
hour
before
the
event
began.
The
other
musician
whose
performance
was
highly
anticipated
was
Lauryn
Hill.
News
reports
hold
that
the
singer
backed
out
in
the
end
moment
even
after
rehearsing
with
The
Weeknd.
The
Unfaithful
singer
was
alleged
to
perform
'Kiss
It
Better'
from
her
album
'Anti'
at
the
Grammys
2016.
According
to
reports
of
TMZ,
the
singer
had
to
pull
back
in
the
end
moment
due
to
persistent
case
of
bronchitis.
One
of
her
representatives
said,
that
the
doctor
has
'put
her
on
vocal
rest
for
48
hours
because
she
was
at
risk
of
hemorrhaging
her
vocal
chords.'
While
this
was
the
reason
behind
Rihanna
canceling
her
performance,
Lauryn
Hill's
representative
said
that
the
singer
couldn't
perform
due
to
premature
communication
from
Grammy's
end.
The
singer
was
supposed
to
perform
with
The
Weeknd
for
his
debut
Grammys
performance.
Looks
like
Lauryn's
absence
didn't
make
a
huge
difference
to
The
Weeknd
after
all!
One
of
Lauryn's
representative
said,
'The
Grammy's
announced
a
performance
by
Ms.
Lauryn
Hill
prematurely
and
without
approval.'
'Ms.
Hill
had
concerts
all
weekend,
leaving
no
time
to
prepare,
and
was
uncertain
she
would
even
be
able
to
make
it
to
LA
in
time
to
rehearse
for
the
event.'
They
continued.
What
was
surprising
was
the
fact
that
Lauryn
was
seen
at
the
rehearsals
alongside
The
Weeknd.
It
wasn't
long
until
people
started
pointed
at
this
on
Twitter!
Below

a
few

of
Rihanna
at
the
Grammys
over
the
years.
