Country legend Vince Gill was on hand to pay tribute to Stapleton. He announced to the crowd that he was going to perform a song he and Stapleton wrote together which has not been released.
“The truth is, neither one of us know it very well, so no matter how I do, we’re good,” Gill said before starting the song.
The Academy tweeted, “We might not have heard [Vince and Chris’s] song ‘You Don’t Wanna Love A Man Like Me’ before, but we love it already.”
After hearing this performance, we’re just wondering when this song will be released, and how we can get both men to sing on the track!
