Tame Impala Star Missed His Own Grammy Win
22 Feb
Summary
- Kevin Parker forgot he was nominated for a Grammy award.
- His award was presented during the early morning hours in Australia.
- Parker received congratulations without knowing the reason.
Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker recently secured his second Grammy Award. However, in a surprising turn of events, the artist admitted he completely forgot about his nomination and missed the award ceremony. His win was in the Best Dance/Electronic Recording category for the single "End of Summer."
The Grammy Premiere Ceremony, where his category was announced, aired live from Los Angeles. This early event began at approximately 12:30 PM PST, which translated to 4:30 AM in Perth, Australia, Parker's home city. Consequently, the artist was asleep during the announcement of his win.
Parker recounted his confusion to Mac DeMarco, explaining that upon waking, his phone was inundated with congratulatory messages. Initially, he had no idea why people were celebrating, prompting him to question the senders, as the messages lacked specific details about his achievement.
