Over the weekend, the Grammys released a list of performers for this year’s ceremony. Bruno Mars wasn’t on it, but he reaaaaallllllllllyyyyyyy wants to be.

Bruno and Anderson .Paak have started a campaign to get their new group Silk Sonic a performance slot during the show. On social media, Bruno said, “Dear Grammys: If you can see it in your hearts to allow two out-of-work musicians to perform at your show, we would really appreciate it. We just released a song, and could really use the promotion.”

He said they’d follow all safety protocols, and even joked they’re willing to audition for the spot. There’s no sign the campaign is working, but he has until Sunday. I’m willing to allow it if and only he leaves the creeper ‘stache at home.
