  Pop singer Alicia Keys and R&B group Boyz II Men paid tribute to Kobe Bryant with their heartfelt performance of “It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday” during the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards according to the GRAMMYS official website.
   
  Keys, who is this year’s host, opened the show with words for Bryant: “We’re all feeling crazy sadness right now because earlier today Los Angeles, America and the whole wide world lost a hero,” says Keys. “And we’re literally standing here, heartbroken, in the house that Kobe Bryant built.”

  R&B group Boyz II Men then accompanied the singer to perform an a cappella of their hit “It’s Hard to Say Goodbye To Yesterday” to commemorate the late basketball superstar.

  Kobe Bryant, who spent 20 years with the Los Angeles Lakers, died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California along with his daughter Gianna, 13, and 7 more.
