The awards show failed to include the 'I Want Candy' singer in their tribute after his death at age 34 in November of last year.

People are speaking out after Aaron Carter was noticeably missing from the Grammys' touching "In Memoriam" tribute that included Loretta Lynn, Jeff Beck, Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie and Migos' Takeoff among others.

Fans of the late singer are outraged Carter was excluded from the tribute after his death in November of last year at 34 years old. Carter released his first album at age nine and rocketed to stardom with his hits "I Want Candy" and "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)."


More recently, Carter was on Broadway, cameoed in several reality shows and released an EP. Several of his songs were posthumously released for streaming.

Many of Carters fans took to Twitter to honor him and call out the Grammys for not including him in the on-air tribute.













Though Carter was not featured in the on-air tribute, his name was included in the memoriam tribute section in Sunday night's program book on page 191.

A source told HuffPost:

"There are hundreds of names to consider and it's always a tough call for the people who put the show together."

Other noticeable omissions from the on-air tribute include Thee 6 Mafia's Gangsta Boo, rapper Lil Keed and Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.

Hawkins, however, was honored by Trevor Noah during last year's Grammys.

Design For New Commemorative Coin Featuring Trump Just Dropped—And People Can't Believe It's Real

On March 19, the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA), comprising people appointed by MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, unanimously approved a final design concept proposed for a 24-karat gold United States semiquincentennial commemorative coin.

Instead of featuring the Declaration of Independence or some other images central to the foundation of the nation in 1776 or more universally recognized symbols from the last 250 years, the CFA chose a sketch based on a photo of Trump leaning over the Resolute desk in the Oval Office for the coin's obverse or "heads" side.

Gavin Newsom Said What We're All Thinking About Trump's Decision To Deploy ICE To Airports

After President Donald Trump moved to deploy ICE agents to U.S. airports amid a partial government shutdown that has caused exceptionally long delays at TSA lines nationwide, California Governor Gavin Newsom pointed out exactly why the move is so troubling for citizens and non-citizens alike.

ICE agents are still getting paid during the shutdown, unlike TSA agents, who are currently working unpaid and struggling amid the affordability crisis. News outlets have confirmed ICE agents have been deployed in airports that serve Democratic strongholds, particularly John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia Airports (New York), O'Hare International Airport (Chicago), and others.
