The 2024 Emmy Awards took a heartfelt moment to honour the entertainment industry’s losses during the annual “In Memoriam” tribute, led by country star Jelly Roll.
This year, the ceremony paid tribute to beloved figures such as Shannen Doherty, Phil Donahue, and Richard Simmons, acknowledging their contributions to the world of television and beyond.

“I believe that music is therapeutic,” he began. “I hope this song can act as a healing moment for those mourning the storytellers we have lost this year.”
