Luther Vandross' team had a lighthearted response to Cher accidentally announcing the late singer as the Record of the Year winner at the 2026 Grammys. The official Instagram account for Vandross, who died at age 54 in 2005, shared a clip of Cher, 79, reading the "Dance With My Father" artist's name at the awards show on Sunday, February 1. "And the Grammy goes to ... oh, the Grammy goes to Luther Vandross!" Cher said while reading a card with the winner's name on it.
