Panic at the Disco & R&B royal Sisqo teamed up for a creative cause hours ago.

What that cause was? An epic cover of the latter’s smash hit single ‘Thong Song‘ on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ following the release of the band’s latest album ‘Death of a Bachelor.’

‘Song’ appeared on Sisqo‘s 1999 release ‘Unleash the Dragon’ and peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 with help from a “bootylicious” visual directed by Joseph Kahn.

Ready to see what went down when the acts joined forces?

How he fared?

Like many who tuned in to last night’s Grammy Awards, the family of the late Natalie Cole have voiced their frustration at the lack of tribute to the singer (who died on December 31st).

David Bowie, Glenn Frey, Motörhead’s Lemmy and Earth, Wind & Fire’s Maurice White were honored with performances, yet Cole was confined to the pre-packaged ‘In Memoriam’ segment.

Displeased, the songbird’s sister Timolin Cole said the following to Page Six…

Do not cross Beyonce‘s BeyHive.

It’s a lesson many have learnt over the years, yet it’s one that was re-affirmed today.

Remember that protest we reported about; that was set to take place in the wake of the singer’s politically-charged performance of ‘Formation’ at the Super Bowl?

Well, that was today outside NFL headquarters in New York City.

Surprisingly, the organizers of the event didn’t show up (or were perhaps too cowardly to identify themselves.)

Instead scores of Queen Bey supporters turned up and made their voices heard.

Per multiple reports, Lauryn Hill was set to hit the stage tonight at the 2016 Grammy Awards.

The elusive songbird was due to take vocal flight alongside The Weeknd, yet ‘The Hills’ singer’s performance was a solo affair – much to the confusion of all those with knowledge of what was “supposed” to occur.

In a freshly released statement, a rep for the Fugees star has explained what happened:
