Justin Bieber, Jack U Transform ‘Where Are U Now’ at Grammys
Justin Bieber performed “Love Yourself” before being joined by EDM superduo Jack Ü — comprised of Skrillex and Diplo — for a joint performance of their hit “Where Are Ü Now.” It is the first time Skrillex and Diplo have joined Bieber for an award show performance of the track.
After a solo, acoustic version of the Ed Sheeran-penned “Love Yourself,” Skrillex, Diplo and a full band joined Bieber onstage for their smash dance single. Skrillex played guitar while Diplo went from behind the boards to the drums for a raucous, heavy take on the EDM track. Jon Theodore of Mars Volta and Queens of the Stone Age also joined in on drums.
“Where Are Ü Now” won Best Dance Recording, making it Bieber’s first Grammy win, while Jack Ü picked up the trophy for Best Dance/Electronic Album. Since 2012, Skrillex has won eight Grammy awards, while Diplo now has two.
