MTV’s Video Music Awards are set to feature a tribute to the late George Michael during the Sunday ceremony. The segment is planned as a medley honoring his work.

Raye, Sombr, and Teddy Swims are listed by outlets as the performers taking part in the homage. The announcement frames the tribute as part of the awards show’s programming rather than a standalone event, with the Sunday broadcast serving as the public platform for the tribute. While both reports agree on the performers and the medley format, they present the news primarily as an upcoming live segment tied to the 2026 VMAs, with limited additional detail on song choices or staging.
