Bon Iver Spurns Grammy Performance
The singer songwriter was asked to play live at the ceremony but turned it down...
The celeb filled music awards take place later this month - with Bon Iver nominated for a number of awards including Record of The Year.
Speaking to Billboard Justin Vernon explained why he turned down playing at the prestigious event.
"We wanted to play our music, but were told that we couldn't play. We had to do a collaboration with someone else," he explained.
"We just felt like it was such a large stage, we're getting nominated for this record that we made. Me and Brian [Joseph] and a bunch of our fucking friends and we were given accolades for it, and all of a sudden we were being asked to play music that had nothing to do with that. We kind of said 'fuck you' a little bit and they sort of acted like they wanted us to play, but I don't think they wanted us to play."
