Posthumous Grammy Awards

Posthumous Grammy Awards are honors given to artists or contributors who have passed away before the award ceremony but are recognized for their significant work and impact in the music industry. These awards acknowledge the person's lasting influence, creative achievements, or contributions to a project that was released before their death. They serve as a respectful acknowledgment of the artist's legacy and ensure their talents are celebrated even after their passing. Posthumous awards are relatively rare and reflect the enduring importance of the individual's work.
