NEW YORK — The MTV Video Music Awards plans on honoring the legacy of Aretha Franklin — they’re just not sure how they will do it.
The VMAs will air live Monday. Show executive producer Jesse Ignjatovic tells The Associated Press on Friday that his team is « working on a lot of different options. »
Franklin, who was 76, died Thursday at her home in Detroit from pancreatic cancer.
Ignjatovic says he’s working to find « the right tone and the right artist » to properly pay tribute to the Queen of Soul.
He adds: « Whether it’s a performance or spoken — just something that’s organic and done in a way that feels tonally right because it’s Aretha Franklin. »
The VMAs will be held at Radio City Music Hall in New York.
