Tim McGraw was among those who took the stage during the 87th annual Academy Awards on Sunday night, February 22. The country star paid musical tribute to Glen Campbell by performing "I'm Not Gonna Miss You" from the legendary singer's documentary "Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me".
Donning a black tuxedo and a bow tie paired with his signature black cowboy hat, McGraw played a stirring rendition of the Best Original Song-nominated track while sitting beside the microphone in front of the crowd packing the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
Rita Ora was another performer in the line-up. The British singer made her Oscar debut singing "Grateful" from "Beyond the Lights". Looking beautiful in a black and white gown, she stood on a platform while belting out the Diane Warren-penned empowering ballad, which is also in contention for Best Original Song Award.
The 2015 Academy Awards has also offered live performances from other big names in music including Adam Levine who performed "Lost Stars" from "Begin Again" as well as the ladies of Tegan and Sara who were joined by The Lonely Island for "Everything Is Awesome" from "The Lego Movie". Other musicians like like Common, John Legend and Lady GaGa are scheduled to perform later in the night.
