PNk to Honor Olivia Newton

P!NK will pay tribute to Olivia Newton-John, who died in August after a protracted battle with breast cancer. Newton-John won the AMA ten times. She won favourite female artist — pop/rock four times, a record that stood for the first 20 years of the ceremony. In 1976, Newton-John co-hosted the event with Glen Campbell and Aretha Franklin. P!NK will perform twice during this year’s programme. She has already scheduled a performance of her new single “Never Gonna Not Dance Again.”

Stevie Wonder will be joined by Charlie Puth and Ari Lennox for a medley of Richie’s hits in honour of the Icon Award recipient this year. This will be Richie’s 18th AMA, and he was the first solo host of the AMAs. He received the award in 1984 and 1985.

Dominique Armani Jones will perform a mashup

Lil Baby , Dove Cameron, and GloRilla were also added to the lineup, along with Anitta, David Guetta, and Bebe Rexha. They will perform alongside previously announced acts Carrie Underwood, Imagine Dragons, JID, Yola, and house DJ D-Nice.
