Jelly Roll was invited by the organizers of the 76th Emmy Awards to perform a live rendition of one of his latest songs, which is in the country genre and was released this year, along with his album.

The singer moved everyone present with his heartfelt performance, where he not only sang live (a rarity among many artists), but also delivered some encouraging words before starting the show.

The In Memoriam segment is a part of the ceremony that usually takes place near the end of the evening, after most of the awards have been presented. So far, “The Bear” has been one of the biggest winners of the 2024 edition.

Jelly Roll performed “I Am Not Okay” from his new album released in 2024, which shares the same title as the song. This was not the first time he sang it live, as he had also performed it during the finale of The Voice.

The segment, which honored professionals and legends who passed away in 2023, concluded with Jimmy Kimmel delivering remarks about the performer Bob Newhart, but rather than bringing down the mood, he did so with great humor.
