Eddie Vedder
Eddie Vedder performed Room At The Top by Tom Petty, who died in October 2017, over the segment. Eddie was introduced at the Oscars by Jennifer Garner, live from Hollywood, California on March 4th, 2018.
"Tonight, as we celebrate the achievements of our collaborators, we also mourn the loss of those who brought joy and awareness through their passion for the movies". Indian entertainers Sridevi and Shashi Kapoor were among the global showbizzers who the Academy honored, along with African filmmaker Idrissa Ouedrago.
The 2018 Oscar broadcast also featured a number of other musical performances, mainly highlighting the nominees in the "Best Original Song" category. Gael García Bernal, Natalia Lafourcade, and Miguel performed their song "Remember Me" from Coco (the eventual victor in the "Best Original Song" category), Mary J. Blige sang "Mighty River" from Mudbound, Andra Day and Common showcased "Stand Up For Something" from Marshall, Keala Settle welcomed large ensemble for a powerful version of "This Is Me" from The Greatest Showman, and Sufjan Stevens played his Call Me By Your Name track, "Mystery of Love".
Though his film contributions were limited, Petty is another A-list entertainer who passed away during the previous year.
