Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak really want Silk Sonic to perform at this year's Grammys

Last Friday (5 March) Mars and .Paak emerged as Silk Sonic with their debut single "Leave the Door Open". Over the weekend, the Grammys unveiled the full list of performers at this year's ceremony, featuring BTS, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Megan Thee Stallion, Harry Styles, Cardi B, Haim, Post Malone and many more.

On Sunday night (7 March) Mars shared an open letter via Twitter in which he asked the Grammys if Silk City could perform at the 2021 ceremony. Mars wrote, "We haven't been able to perform for a while and we just want to sing. We'll send in an audition tape and take as many covid tests as we need to. I promise we won't be extra. We just really want a gig again. I hope you'll consider this request and give us the opportunity to shine."
