“Hi guys,” Levine told the Grimmie family, and the members in the audience. “God, I loved her so much. I’m talking to you guys specifically. I’m taking to everybody. I miss her. It’s unfair that she’s not here. We’re going to be singing her a little song tonight, and I’m going to be singing every word to her in her honor.”
Levine continued, “Thank you guys for being here. Christina, we love you.”
The Maroon 5 front-man was joined by Team Adam (Levine) finalists Jesse Larson, Lilli Passero and Mark Isaiah, all of which delivered a soothing performance of The Beatles classic “Hey Jude,” in her loving memory. Their version was haunting yet beautiful. The Voice judges Blake Shelton, Alicia Keys and Gwen Stefani all honored the Grimmie family with a standing ovation.
Republic Records, ZXL Music, and the Grimmie Family released the critically-acclaimed Side B EP in her memory.
