The In Memoriam segment of the 64th Annual Grammy Awards paid tribute to several late musical powerhouses including Stephen Sondheim and Taylor Hawkins. However, Indian fans were disappointed to find late nightingale Lata Mangeshkar's name missing from the honourable section. Mangeshkar was also not included in the Oscars 2022 'In Memoriam' segment last week. Several fans of the iconic singer expressed their disappointment on Twitterverse on Monday.

A Twitter user commented on the Recording Academy's theme of diversity and inclusion. "Both the Oscars and Grammy awards claim to promote diversity but surprisingly none of them bothered to showcase Lata Mangeshkar in their section to remember artists who are no longer with us. #GRAMMYs #Oscars #LataMangeshkar," she wrote. Another Twitter user emphasised Mangeshkar's contribution to the music industry, writing, "Wow Grammys didn't even to bother mentioning #LataMangeshkar. Do you even know her level and contribution to song and music? #GRAMMYs."

Recording Academy Missing Out on Late Legend
Music legend Lata Mangeshkar was missing from the “In Memoriam” segment at the Grammy awards this year. It is the annual tradition at the ceremony in which tributes are paid to personalities who have died in the past year.

Unacceptable Gesture From Recording Academy
I have a question for everyone reading this street why didn't Grammy show tribute to Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar Didi? Isn't she the nightingale of the world?
This isn't acceptable..🙂 @arrahman @RecordingAcad#LataMangeshkar #grammys #TributetoLataDidi #GrammysxIndia

Another Angry Fan
@TheAcademy @RecordingAcad - Shame on you for leaving out Lata Mangeshkar from your in memorium sections.
By not acknowledging the passing of the world's greatest singer who also happens to be the world's greatest film singer you have failed spectacularly as institutions.
Ugh! 🤮

While Mangeshkar was not mentioned in the 'In Memoriam' segment, her name is mentioned in a comprehensive list featured on the Grammys website.
Last month, India's late nightingale was featured in the British Academy Film and Television Awards' (BAFTA) 'In Memoriam' segment.
