why did they feel the need to have someone holding his hand while he was up there? social ettiquette reasons? let the man do what he wants. he appeared ambivalent and ready to bolt; understandably so. NARAS can suck it...what a joke. they should have dedicated the whole damn ceremony to him and america's band!
Looked to me like Brian was nervous and wanted to be reassured by someone he knew and trusted. So he chose to hold hands with both of his collaborators. Nothing wrong with that. I don't think much of the Grammys but I'm sure glad Brian was around to get this award. I think it means a lot to him.
I saw Brian fall last year in Raleigh, NC, putting his bass on for the encore. It had to have hurt him physically - and embarrassed him. I don't blame him for wanting the security of a couple of folks holding onto him up on the Grammy stage.

That's terrible..
I wonder why he just doesn't use a walking stick, Brian would look cool with one of those pimp canes..
Prince used one at this years Grammy's


I read in a tabloid a while back that Prince had to have hip replacement surgery, and was extremely embarassed about it. It is kind of sad seeing someone like him who's always been so youthful, and hip, and exciting grow old!
I didn't know that Prince had hip surgery. And I also didn't watch the Grammys. Anyways, I thought the cane he was using was just for the looks. Did he actually need the cane?
