Ariana Grande, Pharrell To Perform On 'A Very Granny Christmas Special'
Ariana Grande and Pharrell have something big up their sleeves this Christmas--a TV special featuring them and other fantastic artists. What could top that?
On Dec. 5, Ariana Grande, Pharrell, Maroon 5 and Tim McGraw will take the stage to perform their biggest hits as well as holiday classics. This is part of an inaugural televised concert, "A Very Granny Christmas Special." During this special, the nominees for the year's Grammy Awards will also be announced. The winners, however, will only be announced next year, as the actual awards show will air on Feb. 8.
Hopefully, this would appease the fans who did not see her in New York show where she canceled her show. Ariana was slated to perform at a charity event, "Pencils of Priomise," in the Big Apple this week, but decided to withdraw at the last minute, reportedly because of scheduling conflict, but an insider says otherwise.
"Everybody got there and was waiting for her to arrive and she was also supposed to be a surprise musical guest," one guest told the New York Daily News. "No one was told she wasn't coming, when I overheard organizers say she's not coming, she doesn't want to come. She's afraid of flying because of Ebola.'"
While Ariana Grande did not comment on her absence, this just proves the panic that Ebola is bringing to the country, after a doctor in New York contracted the virus. It has recently been reported that businesses and school days are disrupted because of the Ebola fear. The doctor was helping Ebola patients in Guinea and just got back. Meanwhile, Dr. Oz called the virus "dumb," saying it kills off its hosts instead of letting them live so that it could spread to more people and become a pandemic.
Moreover, Oprah's favorite doctor also shared that the virus is not spreading smartly, and that it would not be comparable to the period of "Black Death" as many feared. In fact, he said that because of the improvements in the medicine field, a treatment or cure for Ebola can be found sooner or later.
