EDMONTON - The Weeknd has another armful of Juno Awards for his shelf this year, but the Canadian superstar didn’t show up in Edmonton to accept them.
Other musicians vaulted obstacles to make the Junos, including members of Arkells who battled flight cancellations in Newfoundland. Three of them made flights in time to win their sixth group of the year honour.“We have a really good life as musicians and I think showing up is part of being part of the community.”
Her previous Juno came during the height of the pandemic when the awards show was virtual, which meant she watched the show from a laptop at home.“Being able to land here and celebrate this with the community of Canadian music is something that really means a lot.” “I was super excited — and the moment they called our name I thought I was going to start crying. I felt overwhelmingly sad.”
