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.
