Beyonce to not make surprise appearance at Grammy Awards

Beyonce will not be part of the performance lineup during the Grammy Awards despite having a leading number of nominations this year.

Recording Academy’s interim chief Harvey Mason Jr. spoke to The Los Angeles Times and revealed that the 24-time Grammy-winner will not be making a surprise appearance.

"It's unfortunate, because she's such a big part of the Recording Academy," Mason told the outlet in a story published on Saturday. "We absolutely wish we had her onstage."

In recent times, the awards have received flak from a number of major stars calling it out for its lack of transparency in the nomination process to deciding the winners.
